Cerasus humilis (Bge.) Sok. leaf-tea (CLT) has a potential anti- α -glucosidase effect. However, its anti- α -glucosidase functional compositions remain unclear. Results showed that 70% methanol extract of CLT (IC 50 = 36.57 μg/mL) with the highest total phenolic/flavonoid contents exhibited significantly higher α -glucosidase inhibitory activity ( α -GIA) than acarbose (IC 50 = 189.57 μg/mL). Additionally, phenolic constituents of the CLT extract were analyzed for the first time in this work. Ten major potential α -glucosidase inhibitors ( α -GIs) with high bio-affinity degree in the CLT extract were recognized using a bio-affinity ultra-filtration and HPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS/MS method. In vitro α -GIA assay confirmed that myricetin (IC 50 = 36.17 μg/mL), avicularin (IC 50 = 69.84 μg/mL), quercitrin , isoquercitrin, prunin and guajavarin were responsible for the α -GIA of the CLT extract. More importantly, the interaction mechanism between α -GIs and α -glucosidase was investigated via in silico analysis. This study provides a high-throughput screening platform for identification of the potential α -GIs from natural products.

Selaginella doederleiniiHieron has been traditionally used as a folk antitumor herbal medicine in China. In this paper, the phytochemical components of the total biflavonoids extract fromS. doederleiniiwere studied by using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QTOF MS/MS) in negative ion mode, and their in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects were evaluated. Four types of biflavonoids fromS. doederleinii, including IC3′–IIC8′′, IC3′–IIC6′′, IC3′–IIC3′′′, and C–O linked biflavonoids were examined originally using QTOF MS/MS. The fragmentation behavior of IC3′–IIC3′′′ linked biflavonoids was reported for the first time. A total of twenty biflavonoids were identified or tentatively characterized and eight biflavonoids were found fromS. doederleiniifor the first time. Furthermore, the 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thizolyl)-2,5-diphenyltertazolium bromide (MTT) assay and xenograft model of mouse lewis lung cancer(LLC) in male C57BL/6 mice revealed favorable anticancer properties of the total biflavonoids extracts fromS. doederleinii. The results of this work could provide useful knowledge for the identification of biflavonoids in herbal samples and further insights into the chemopreventive function of this plant.Keywords:Selaginella doederleinii;HPLC-ESI-QTOF MS/MS;biflavonoids;murine B16 melanoma cell;mouse lewis lung cancer (LLC) cell;LLC mouse model

This study was aimed at evaluating the hypouricemic effect of rape bee pollen from Qinghai province in China. Rape bee pollen crude extracts (RPCE) was obtained by n-butanol extraction and purified by polyamide resin and AB-8 resin respectively to generate five fractions (fraction 1–5). In vitro , fraction 5 had strongest inhibition on xanthine oxidase (XO) (IC 50 = 0.21 ± 0.02 mg mL −1 ) among five fractions and had reversible and mixed inhibitory effect on XO. Fraction 5 was further purified and then generated fraction 5′. In vivo , fraction 5′ had lower serum UA level and could reduce serum BUN, Cr levels and hepatic XO activity more effectively than RPCE in potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mice . Moreover, fraction 5′ had higher CAT activity and content of GSH in hyperuricemic mice. Six compounds including quercetin-3-O-(2″-O-glucopyranosyl)-glucopyranoside (peak 1), quercetin-3-O-(2″-O-glucopyranosyl)-rhamnopyranoside (peak 2), kaempferol-3-O-(2″-O-glucopyranosyl)-glucopyranoside (peak 3) and N′, N″-di- p -coumaroylspermidine (peak 4–6) in RPCE were identified by using HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS, whereas only peak 4 to 6 were found in fraction 5′. This study shows that rape bee pollen has potential clinical application value as an effective anti-hyperuricemia bioactive drug or functional food.

The anti-oxidative phenolic compounds in plant extracts possess multiple pharmacological functions. However, the phenolic characterization and in vitro bio-activities in various parts of raspberry (Rubus idaeusL.) have not been investigated systematically. In the present study, the phenolic profiles of leaves (LE), fruit pulp (FPE), and seed extracts (SE) in raspberry were analyzed by HR-HPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS/MS method, and their antioxidant activities and digestive enzymes inhibitory abilities were also investigated. The molecular docking analysis was used to delineate their inhibition mechanisms toward type II diabetes related digestive enzymes. Regardless of LE, FPE, or SE, 50% methanol was the best solvent for extracting high contents of phenolic compounds, followed by 50% ethanol and 100% methanol. The LE of raspberry displayed the highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). A total of nineteen phenolic compounds were identified. The quantitative results showed that gallic acid, ellagic acid, and procyanidin C3 were the major constituents in the three extracts. The various parts extracts of raspberry all exhibited the strong antioxidant activities, especially for LE. Moreover, the powerful inhibitory effects of the three extracts against digestive enzymes (α-glucosidase andα-amylase) were observed. The major phenolic compounds of the three extracts also showed good inhibitory activities of digestive enzyme in a dose-dependent manner. The underlying inhibitory mechanisms of the main phenolic compounds against digestive enzymes were clarified by molecular docking analysis. The present study demonstrated that the various parts of raspberry had strong antioxidant activities and inhibitory effects on digestive enzymes, and can potentially prevent oxidative damage or diabetes-related problems.Keywords:Rubus idaeusL.;phenolic compounds;HPLC-ESI-HR-qTOF-MS/MS;antioxidant activities;digestive enzymes inhibitors;molecular docking analysis

Partridge leaves ( Mallotus furetianus Muell-Arg.) have long been consumed as popular folk substitute tea for treating hyperglycemia in China. In this study, the inhibiting effects of partridge tea extracts on α -glucosidase and α -amylase were investigated, and then effect of partridge tea aqueous extracts (PTAEs) on glucose consumption capacity of 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes cells was determined. Results verified that PTAEs showed excellent anti- α -glucosidase and anti- α -amylase effects. In addition, the PTAEs evidently promoted glucose consumption capacity of 3T3L1 preadipocytes cells. To this end, a combined method of affinity ultrafiltration and HPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS/MS was used for rapidly screening and identifying the potential inhibitors in the PTAEs. Catechin, epicatechin, rutin, ferulic acid, and kaempferitrin with high affinity capacity indicated strong inhibiting effect on α -glucosidase and α -amylase. Docking studies revealed the potential interactive mechanisms between these major inhibitors and two digestive enzymes. This research shows that partridge tea is effective in preventing and treating post hyperglycemia.
