α-Glucosidase Inhibitor from Kothala-himbutu (Salacia reticulata WIGHT)

Abstract: A polyhydroxylated cyclic 13-membered sulfoxide (1) was isolated from an aqueous extract of Kothala-himbutu ( Salacia reticulata WIGHT). The structure of compound 1 was elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and APCI-MS methods. The alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of compound 1 (IC 50: maltase, 0.227 microM; sucrase, 0.186 microM; isomaltase, 0.099 microM) was much greater than the inhibitory activity of salacinol and kotalanol, which were previously isolated from Kothala-himbutu.

“…Among the several samples tested in the present study, the roots' extract of S. reticulata gave the best score with respect to the contents of 1 and 2. Recently, their desulfonated analogs, neosalacinol [6,10,11] and neokotalanol [6,8,12] have also been reported as another sulfoniums responsible for the activity. Attempts to develop the quantitative analyses of these highly polar constituents for more precise evaluation of Salacia species are in progress.…”

“…Salacia tends to contain Salacinol, Salaretin, Mangiferin, Kotalanol, Triterpenesand, 13 MRT and Ponkoranol. 10,11 Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors decrease the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestine, resulting in a slower and lower rise in blood glucose throughout the day, especially right after meals. They are important constituents of the traditionally used anti-diabetic medicines, and are also therapeutic for other carbohydrate-metabolic disorders.…”
