α-Amylase and Lipase Inhibitory Activity and Structural Characterization of Acacia Bark Proanthocyanidins

Abstract: The bark extract of Acacia mearnsii showed strong lipase and α-amylase inhibition activities. Fractionation of the extract by column chromatography and subsequent (13)C NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS analysis revealed that the active substances are proanthocyanidin oligomers mainly composed of 5-deoxyflavan-3-ol units. In addition, 4'-O-methylrobinetinidol 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, fisetinidol-(4α,6)-gallocatechin, and epirobinetinidol-(4β,8)-catechin were isolated as new compounds, and their structures were determined … Show more

“…All of them contain tannin. In recent years, tannin has been reported as non-specific inhibitors for several hydrolytic enzymes such as lipases, α-glucosidases, α-amylases and invertase (Barret et al, 2013;Goncalves et al, 2011;Grussu et al, 2011;Ikarashi et al, 2011;Kusano et al, 2011;Yilmazer-Musa et al, 2012;Zajacz et al, 2007). This hypothesis can be proved by further experiments such as tannin isolation and activity assay of isolate that have been separated from other compounds.…”

“…[31][32][33][34][35][36] Among them, indigestible dextrin has been confirmed to suppress the postprandial increase in blood glucose level by inhibiting α-glucosidase 35) and it is widely used as a food for specified health use and as a functional food. It seems reasonable to consider that Ca-Alg works similarly.…”

“…The a-amylase (A8220, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) enzyme inhibitory activity was measured using the method reported by Kusano et al (2011) with slight modifications. Substrate was prepared by boiling 100 mg potato starch in 5 ml phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) for 5 min, then cooling to room temperature.…”
