A new iridoid glycoside, named 6'-O-cinnamoylharpagide (1), has been isolated from the roots of Scrophularia ningpoensis (Scrophulariaceae) together with nine known compounds, harpagide (2), harpagoside (3), 8-O-feruloylharpagide (4), 8-O-(p-coumaroyl)harpagide (5), 6-O-methylcatalpol (6), aucubin (7), buergerinin B (8), teuhircoside (9) and 6-O-cinnamoyl-D-glucopyranose (10). Compound 10 was obtained as an inseparable mixture of 6-O-cinnamoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose and 6-O-cinnamoyl-beta-D-glucopyranose at a ratio of 1 : 1, which is presumably formed by cleavage of compound 1. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral analysis.

Four unreported pyridine alkaloids, curviflorines A-D (1-4), two undescribed iridoids, curviridoids A and B (5 & 6), and one known iridoid glycoside (7), were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Phlogacanthus curviflorus. The structures of these compounds were established by detailed interpretation of MS and NMR data, with the absolute configurations being assigned via comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. Notably, it is the first report of alkaloidal constituents (1-4) from the genus Phlogacanthus.

Targeting alpha-glucosidase (maltase-glucoamylase [MGAM] and sucrase-isomaltase [SI]) under diabetes conditions is important to overcome hyperglycemia. Moreover, it is necessary to mitigate hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress to evade the progression of diabetes-associated secondary complications. Hence, in the present study, under-explored Nyctanthes arbor-tristis flowers (NAFs) were studied for inhibition of alpha-glucosidase activities.
