- Abstract
The phytochemical investigation on the n-BuOH fraction of the Cinnamomum camphora extract led to the isolation and identification of 37 secondary metabolites. Among them, compound 1, named as camphodiol A, was a new phenylpropanoid glycoside, while compounds 2 - 10 , 12 , 13 , 16–25 , 27 , and 29 - 37 were firstly isolated from this plant. The isolates were evaluated for their α -glucosidase inhibitory activities, and compounds 9 , 12 - 25 , 27 and 29 showed potent activities with IC 50 values ranging from 0.26 to 113.87 μM. The molecular docking analysis indicated that compound 22 could bind within the active pocket of the α -glucosidase through the hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction. These results demonstrated that the utilization of C. camphora leaves may have potential beneficial effects for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. [Display omitted] • Chemical investigation on the leaves of C. camphora was performed. • A new phenylpropanoid glycoside, camphodiol A (1), was isolated and identified. • Compounds 9 , 12 - 25 , 27 , and 29 showed potent α -glucosidase inhibitory activities. • Compound 22 could bind within the active pocket of the α -glucosidase.
