Nine new nor-3,4-seco-dammarane triterpenoids from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus and their hypoglycemic activity
Abstract
This manuscript describes the isolation of nine new nor-3,4-seco-dammarane triterpenoids, norqingqianliusus A-I (1-9) and one known nortriterpenoid (10) from Cyclocarya paliurus leaves. Norqingqianliusus A and B (1 and 2) possess a unique 3,4-seco-dammarane-type C26 tetranortriterpenoid skeleton. The compounds were structurally characterized through modern spectroscopic techniques. Moreover, the potential mechanism of hypoglycemic activity was further explored by studying the effects on glucosamine-induced insulin resistant HepG2 cells. In vitro hypoglycemic effects of all of the isolates were investigated using insulin resistant HepG2 cells. The glucose consumption was significantly promoted by compound 10, in a dose-dependent manner, thus alleviating damage in IR-HepG2 cells. Besides, it reduced the PEPCK and GSK3β gene expression, involved in glucose metabolism. The anti-diabetic effects of the plant, utilized traditionally, can hence be attributed to the presence of nor-3,4-seco-dammarane triterpenoids in the leaves.
