DRI_Background |
denotes |
Sargassum serratifolium C. Agardh (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) is a marine brown alga that belongs to the family Sargassaceae. |
T2 |
258-327 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
It is widely distributed throughout coastal areas of Korea and Japan. |
T3 |
328-502 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
S. serratifolium has been found to contain high concentrations of plastoquinones, which have strong anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activity. |
T4 |
503-723 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
This study aims to investigate the anti-diabetic activity of S. serratifolium and its major constituents through inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), α-glucosidase, and ONOO--mediated albumin nitration. |

DRI_Background |
denotes |
extract and fractions exhibited broad PTP1B and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50, 1.83~7.04 and |
T7 |

DRI_Background |
denotes |
for PTP1B and α-glucosidase, respectively). |
T8 |
915-1114 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In an attempt to identify bioactive compounds, three plastoquinones (sargahydroquinoic acid, sargachromenol and sargaquinoic acid) were isolated from the active n-hexane fraction of S. serratifolium. |
T9 |
1115-1219 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
All three plastoquinones exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity against PTP1B in the IC50 range of |
T10 |
1233-1396 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
, while sargachromenol and sargaquinoic acid showed dose-dependent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 42.41 ± 3.09 and 96.17 ± 3.48 µM, respectively). |
T11 |
1397-1585 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
In the kinetic study of PTP1B enzyme inhibition, sargahydroquinoic acid and sargaquinoic acid led to mixed-type inhibition, whereas sargachromenol displayed noncompetitive-type inhibition. |
T12 |
1672-1959 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Docking simulations of these plastoquinones demonstrated negative binding energies and close proximity to residues in the binding pocket of PTP1B and α-glucosidase, indicating that these plastoquinones have high affinity and tight binding capacity towards the active site of the enzymes. |
T13 |
1960-2143 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
These results demonstrate that S. serratifolium and its major plastoquinones may have the potential as functional food ingredients for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. |
