Abstract:
:As part of an ongoing study of new insulin mimetic agents from medicinal plants, the 70% EtOH extract of Symplocos cochinchinensis was found to have a stimulatory effect on glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells. The intensive targeted isolation of this active extract resulted in ten new hydroxyoleoside-type compounds conjugated with a phenolic acid and monoterpene (1-6 and 8-11), as well as four known compounds (7 and 12-14). The chemical structures of the new compounds were determined based on spectroscopic data analysis (1H and 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY and MS). The absolute configurations of the isolated compounds were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis of derivatives obtained after a series of reactions, such as those with dirhodium (ІІ) tetrakis (trifluoroacetate) and dimolybdenum (ІІ) tetraacetate. In vitro, compounds 3, 7 and 8 moderately increased the 2-deoxy-2-[(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]-D-glucose (2-NBDG) uptake level in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. For further studies, we evaluated their effects on the expression of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4), its translocation, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibition and expression of phosphorylated Akt. Our results strongly suggest that the traditional uses of this plant can be described as active constituents by hydroxyoleoside-type compounds.
