95-353 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
As a part of our ongoing effort to identify anti-diabetic constituents from natural sources, we examined the inhibitory activity of the methanol extracts of 12 species of the genus Artemisia, against α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). |
| T2 |
354-463 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The methanol extracts of different species exhibited promising α-glucosidase and PTP1B inhibitory activities. |
| T3 |
464-666 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Since the methanol extract of Artemisia capillaris exhibited the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity together with significant PTP1B inhibitory activity, it was selected for further investigation. |
| T4 |
667-873 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Repeated column chromatography based on bioactivity guided fractionation yielded 10 coumarins (esculetin, esculin, scopolin, isoscopolin, daphnetin, umbelliferone, 7-methoxy coumarin, scoparone, scopoletin, |

), 6 phenolic compounds (1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3-caffeoylquinic acid), and one chromone (capillarisin). |
| T8 |
1270-1548 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Among these compounds, esculetin, scopoletin, quercetin, hyperoside, isorhamnetin, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, and 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid exhibited potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity when compared to the positive control acarbose. |

DRI_Background |
denotes |
C displayed PTP1B inhibitory activity. |
| T11 |
1637-1733 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Interestingly, all isolated dicaffeoylquinic acids showed significant PTP1B inhibitory activity. |
| T12 |
1734-1876 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Therefore, the results of the present study clearly demonstrate the potential of the A. capillaris extract to inhibit α-glucosidase and PTP1B. |
| T13 |
1877-2149 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
These inhibitory properties can be largely attributed to a combination of different chemical structures, including coumarins, flavonoids, and dicaffeoylquinic acids, which could be further explored to develop therapeutic or preventive agents for the treatment of diabetes. |
