Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitory Effects of Flavonoids, Phenolic Acids and Iridoids Isolated From Vinca Soneri: In Vitro and In Silico Perspectives.

Various Vinca species have been traditionally used for their antihypertensive, sedative, and hemostatic properties, as well as for treating diabetes. In this study, some flavonoids, phenolic acids and iridoids were isolated from an endemic Vinca species, Vinca soneri for the first time. α-Glucosidase inhibitory effects of the isolates were tested and kaempferol-3-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6) β-galactopyranoside (1) was found to be the most active one with an IC value of 285.
