Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Houttuynia cordata Thunb., a medicinal and dietary plant, highlighting the isolation of neochlorogenic acid (nCGA) as an α-glucosidase inhibitor for the first time.
- nCGA demonstrated competitive inhibition of α-glucosidase with an IC of 0.711 mg/mL and showed promising blood glucose-lowering effects in zebrafish, particularly at a concentration of 4 mg/L.
- The findings offer insights for extracting hypoglycemic compounds from Houttuynia cordata Thunb. and support the potential development of natural α-glucosidase inhibitors for managing blood sugar levels.
