Bioassay-Guided Isolation of Triterpenoids as α-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Cirsium setosum

Bioassay - guided Isolation of Antiproliferative Triterpenoids

α-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Vauquelinia corymbosa.

The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of an aqueous extract and compounds from the aerial parts of V. corymbosa was demonstrated with yeast and rat small intestinal α-glucosidases. The aqueous extract inhibited yeast α-glucosidase with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 28.6 μg/mL. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract led to the isolation of several compounds, including o...

Molecular docking studies of some flavone analogues as α-Glucosidase inhibitors

Background: High Blood glucose levels is one of the main problems in diabetes. α-glucosidase with decomposition of polysaccharides increases the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestine, resulting in blood glucose upsurge. Inhibition of this enzyme is one of the most important strategies for treatment of diabetes. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate in silico inhibitory ef...

Zebrafish Bioassay-Guided Natural Product Discovery: Isolation of Angiogenesis Inhibitors from East African Medicinal Plants

Natural products represent a significant reservoir of unexplored chemical diversity for early-stage drug discovery. The identification of lead compounds of natural origin would benefit from therapeutically relevant bioassays capable of facilitating the isolation of bioactive molecules from multi-constituent extracts. Towards this end, we developed an in vivo bioassay-guided isolation approach f...

Antioxidant Activity of Two Flavonol Glycosides from Cirsium Hypoleucum Dc. through Bioassay- Guided Fractionation

The flowers, roots and stems of Cirsium species are used as a folk remedy in Anatolia. In order to evaluate antioxidant activity of Cirsium hypoleucum which is an endemic plant, superoxide radical (hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system) and free radical scavenging activities (DPPH) using in vitro electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry of the different extracts, fractions and compounds obtain...
