Using a bio-guided isolation on the Vietnamese lichen based on alpha-glucosidase inhibition, eleven compounds were isolated and structurally elucidated, namely, protocetraric acid (1), 8'-methylstictic acid (2), stictic acid (3), 4,6-diformyl-8-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1,9-dimethyl-11-oxo-11-dibenzo[,][1,4]dioxepine-7-carboxylic acid (4), vicanicin (5), norstictic acid (6), diffractaic acid (7), barbatic acid (8), atranol (9), 5-chlorohaematommic acid (10), and eumitrin A1 (11). Their chemical structures were identified by extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectroscopy and compared with those reported in literature. Protocetraric acid (1) and norstictic acid (6) were selected for further modification to derive new compounds, namely, 1a-1e and 6a.

Article Synopsis
  • - A bio-guided isolation process led to the discovery of six compounds from the Vietnamese lichen Roccella montagnei, including a new compound named montagneside A, alongside five known compounds.
  • - The chemical structures of these compounds were determined using advanced techniques like 1D and 2D NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectroscopy.
  • - Evaluation of the compounds showed that D-erythrin and its derivatives significantly inhibited alpha-glucosidase activity, with the most active derivative being analyzed through molecular docking to understand its inhibitory mechanism.
