Structure elucidation of prenyl- and geranyl substituted coumarins in <i>Gerbera piloselloides</i> by NMR spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and single crystal X-ray crystallography
Crude ethyl acetate extract of Gerbera piloselloides (L.) Cass. was investigated by dual high-resolution PTP1B/α-glucosidase inhibition profiling and LC-PDA-HRMS. This indicated the presence of a series of unprecedented prenyl- and geranyl-substituted coumarin derivatives correlated with both α-glucosidase and PTP1B inhibitory activity. Repeated chromatographic separation targeting these compounds led to the isolation of 13 new compounds, of which ten could be isolated as both enantiomers after chiral separation. The structures of all isolated compounds were characterized by HRMS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis. The absolute configurations of the isolated compounds were determined by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. Compound 6 features a rare furan-oxepane 5/7 ring system, possibly formed through addition of a geranyl unit to C-3 of 5-methylcoumarin, representing a new type of geranyl-substituted coumarin skeleton. Compounds 19 and 24 are the first examples of dimeric natural products consisting of both coumarin and chromone moieties

Identification of α-glucosidase inhibitors in <i>Machilus litseifolia</i> by combined use of high-resolution α-glucosidase inhibition profiling and HPLC-PDA-HRMS-SPE-NMR
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic multifactorial
disease affecting more
than 425 million people worldwide, and new selective α-glucosidase
inhibitors with fewer side effects are urgently needed. In this study,
a crude ethyl acetate extract of Machilus litseifolia was fractionated by solid-phase extraction using C18 cartridges
to give a fraction enriched in α-glucosidase inhibitors. Subsequent
microfractionation and bioassaying of the eluate by high-performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a complementary pentafluorophenyl
column allowed construction of a high-resolution α-glucosidase
inhibition profile (biochromatogram). This was used to target high-performance
liquid chromatography–photodiode array detection–high-resolution
mass spectrometry–solid-phase extraction–nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (HPLC-PDA-HRMS-SPE-NMR) analysis toward α-glucosidase
inhibitors. This led to the identification of 13 dicoumaroylated flavonol
rhamnosides, of which seven (8, 10, 12a, 12b, 16, 17, and 18) are reported for the first time, and two lignans, of which
one (5) is reported for the first time. IC50 values of isolated compounds toward α-glucosidase range from
5.9 to 35.3 ÎĽM, which is 8 to 91 times lower than the IC50 value of 266 ÎĽM measured for the reference compound
acarbose
