چکیده
A new bioactive compound, namely desmodianone H(1), and another known compound uncinanone B(2) were first isolated using bioactivity-guided isolation from the leaves of Lespedeza maximowiczii and structures were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of their nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry data. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited strong inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase activity.

It is now believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes (CHEs) in the digestive tract can significantly prolong the overall carbohydrate digestion time and decrease the postprandial hyperglycemia after a meal. Therefore, inhibitors of CHEs can be useful therapeutic approaches in the management of diabetes mellitus, especially in the type 2, and complications associated with t...

متن کاملKojic acid-derived tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis and bioactivity
Tyrosinase is a key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, catalyzing the oxidation of L-tyrosine to L-dopaquinone. The tyrosinase inhibition is an effective approach to control hyperpigmentation in human skin and enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables. Kojic acid is a naturally-occurring tyrosinase inhibitor which has been clinically used to treat the hyperpigmentation of skin. However, kojic a...

Passiflora species were known by their anticonvulsant, anxiolytic and sedative activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of the most active leaf extract of Passiflora caerulea L. grown in Egypt. The ethanolic extract of the leaves exhibited higher activity than aqueous extract as anticonvulsant (63% potency relative to carbamazepine), analgesic (70% potency r...
