Cordycepin, also known as 3′-deoxyadenosine, is a major active ingredient of Cordyceps militaris with diverse pharmacological effects. Due to its limited supply, many attempts have been conducted to enhance the cordycepin content. As part of this study, eight medicinal plants were supplemented with cultivation substrates of Cordyceps to increase the cordycepin content. Cordyceps cultivated on brown rice supplemented with Mori Folium, Curcumae Rhizoma, Saururi Herba, and Angelicae Gigantis Radix exhibited increased cordycepin content compared to a brown rice control. Among them, the addition of 25% Mori Folium increased the cordycepin content up to 4 times. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) modulates the deamination of adenosine and deoxyadenosine, and the inhibitors have therapeutic potential with anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory properties. As ADA is also known to be involved in converting cordycepin to 3′-deoxyinosine, the inhibitory activity of medicinal plants on ADA was measured by spectrophotometric analysis using cordycepin as a substrate. As expected, Mori Folium, Curcumae Rhizoma, Saururi Herba, and Angelicae Gigas Radix strongly inhibited ADA activity. Molecular docking analysis also showed the correlation between ADA and the major components of these medicinal plants. Conclusively, our research suggests a new strategy of using medicinal plants to enhance cordycepin production in C. militaris. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the leaf of Actinidia arguta has shown antioxidant activity, a study was conducted to identify the active ingredients. Forty-eight compounds were isolated from the leaves of A. arguta through various chromatographic techniques. Further characterization of the structures on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and MS data identified several aromatic compounds, including phenylpropanoid derivatives, phenolics, coumarins, flavonoids and lignans. Among them, five compounds were newly reported, naturally occurring, and named argutosides A–D (1–4), which consist of phenylpropanoid glycosides that are conjugated with a phenolic moiety, and argutoside E (5), which is a coumarin glycoside that is conjugated with a phenylpropanoid unit. The isolated compounds showed good antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with differences in activity depending on the structures. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated the interaction between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups of compounds 1 and 5 with α-glucosidase. Taken together, the leaves of A. arguta are rich in aromatic compounds with diverse structures. Therefore, the leaves of A. arguta and their aromatic components might be beneficial for oxidative stress and glucose-related diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hericium erinaceus, commonly called lion's mane mushroom , is an edible and medicinal mushroom that has been traditionally used for the treatment of metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases and memory impairment. In this study, potential anti-hyperglycemic constituents were identified to support the traditional usage of H. erinaceus. The components of H. erinaceus were purified using various column chromatography techniques. The structure of the separated compounds was determined based on spectroscopic data analysis, i.e., 1D and 2D NMR analysis. The anti-hyperglycemic activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated by measuring the inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase activity. Molecular docking analysis was also conducted for elucidation of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of isolated compounds. Ten compounds including four new compounds, erinacenols A-D (1 – 4), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of H. erinaceus. Investigation of the anti-hyperglycemic effect of isolated compounds demonstrated that erinacenol D (4), 4-[3′,7′–dimethyl-2′,6′-octadienyl]-2-formyl-3-hydroxy-5-methyoxybenzylalcohol (6), hericene A (7), hericene D (8) and hericenone D (9) strongly inhibited α-glucosidase activity with IC 50 values of <20 μM. The structure activity relationship suggested the importance of long side chain for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Further analysis by molecular docking demonstrated the interaction of α-glucosidase and isolated compounds, which supported the inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase. Our present study demonstrated the beneficial effect of H. erinaceus by characterization of α-glucosidase inhibitory compounds, including four new compounds. This approach can be valuable support for the traditional use of H. erinaceus for the treatment of diabetes and metabolic diseases, which needs to be clarified by further in-vivo study. Image 1 • Lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) inhibited α-glucosidase activity. • Ten compounds were isolated from the fruiting bodies of H. erinaceus. • Four compounds, erinacenols A-D, were newly reported. • Long side chain was suggested to be important for the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. • Interaction of α-glucosidase and compounds by molecular docking analysis.

The composition of a plant, together with its efficacy, vary depending on its maturity and plant parts. In this study, the chemical constituents of immature fruits of Maclura tricuspidata (Moraceae) were investigated together with their anti-diabetic and antioxidant effects. A total of 34 compounds were isolated from the immature fruits of M. tricuspidata using various chromatographic methods. Structure elucidation using extensive spectroscopic analysis led to the characterization of isolated compounds as isoflavonoids with prenyl substituents. Among them, macluraisoflavones A-O were first isolated from nature. The anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of the isolated compounds were also suggested by α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity, respectively. In particular, macluraisoflavone I, an isoflavonoid with 2,2-dimethylpyran and 2-hydroperoxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl moieties, showed potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Further molecular docking analysis suggested hydrogen bond and alkyl interactions between α-glucosidase and macluraisoflavone I. Therefore, the immature fruits of M. tricuspidata can be used as an important natural product with antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties. Fifteen undescribed isoflavonoids, macluraisoflavones A-O, and 19 known compounds were isolated from the immature fruits of Maclura tricuspidata, which showed anti-α-glucosidase and anti-oxidative activity. [Display omitted] • Thirty-four compounds were isolated from the immature fruits of Maclura tricuspidata. • They were isoflavonoid with different numbers and types of prenyl moieties. • Fifteen compounds, macluraisoflavones A-O, were undescribed. • Macluraisoflavone I showed α-glucosidase inhibitory and antioxidant activity. • The interaction with α-glucosidase was analyzed by molecular docking analysis.

[Display omitted] • Forty-seven prenylated isoflavonoids were isolated from Masclura tricuspidata leaves. • Sixteen compounds, cudracusisoflavones A-P, were newly reported. • Prenylated isoflavonoids inhibited α-glucosidase activity and AGE formations. • Structure activity relationship was suggested using molecular docking analysis. Investigation of chemical constituents of Masclura tricuspidata leaves resulted in the isolation of 47 isoflavonoids possessing prenyl groups with different numbers and structures. Among them, sixteen compounds named cudracusisoflavones A-P (1 – 16) were first isolated from nature. The isoflavonoids isolated from M. tricuspidata leaves showed anti-diabetic effects as measured by inhibition on α-glucosidase activity and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formations. Especially, cudracusisoflavone L (12), a new compound, together with gancaonin M (27), erysenegalensein E (41) and millewanin G (44) showed strong α-glucosidase inhibition with IC 50 values <10.0 μM. In addition, cudracusisoflavones A (1), D (4), M (13) and N (14), together with known prenylated isoflavonoids efficiently inhibited methylglyoxal (MGO)- or glyoxal (GO)-induced AGE formations. Structure activity relationship together with molecular docking analysis suggested the importance of hydroxy group and linear type of prenyl moiety for α-glucosidase inhibition. Conclusively, diverse prenylated isoflavonoids in M. tricuspidata leaves might ameliorate glycotoxicity-induced metabolic diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
