An extract from the rhizomes of Cassumunar ginger ( Roscoe). was found to have significant -glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC value of 6.3 g/mL. Two new phenylbutenoids, cassudimin A () and cassumunol N (), and seven known compounds (-) were isolated. Their structures and relative configurations of two new compounds were elucidated based on spectra interpretation. Compounds -, - showed more potent -glucosidase inhibitory activity than a positive control, acarbose (IC = 168.0 M). Dehydrozingerone () exhibited the most potent -glucosidase inhibition with an IC value of 8.3 M. Compounds and were found in rhizomes for the first time.

Sorghum () is a gluten-free supercrop with a high content of phenolic compounds, along with anti-nutrient factors such as tannin that limit its use in food. In this study, we conducted solid-state fermentation for sorghum with to reduce the tannin content and value-added sorghum by enhancing biological properties. The results showed that fermented sorghum had 1.

Oxadiazole compounds are of great interest because they have a range of biological activities ranging from antioxidants to anticancer agents. Against this background, we wanted to demonstrate the antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, and anticancer effects of 5(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(N-phenylamino)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Hppo). Antioxidant abilities were measured through free radical scavenging and reducing power tests.

α-Glucosidase inhibitory assay-guided isolation of the aqueous extract from leaves afforded three new compounds named cannabisaldehyde (), cannacone A (), and canniprene C (), along with eight previously known compounds (-, ). The structures of new compounds were determined through extensive analysis of various spectroscopic data. Of isolated compounds, cannacone A () demonstrated most potent inhibition against maltase and sucrase with IC values of 80.

Theaflavins, oxidation product of tea polyphenols, have demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase, which is beneficial in alleviating hyperglycemia. This study found that the inhibition of four monomers of theaflavins on α-glucosidase was related to the presence of the galloyl moiety (GM), with IC values ranging from TFDG (0.26 mg/mL) < TF3'G (0.

Aims: This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel sitagliptin derivatives, aiming to develop potent, orally active anti-diabetic agents with minimal side effects for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Copper (II) (SCu1-SCu9) and zinc (II) (SZn1-SZn9) metal complexes of sitagliptin-based derivatives were synthesized via a template reaction.
Material & Method: The synthesized complexes were comprehensively characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis, 1 h NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
