ABSTRACT
Sphaeranthus africanus L. is native in Vietnam. Little is known about α-glucosidase inhibition of Sphaeranthus africanus and its isolated compounds. A bioactive-guided isolation was applied to the Vietnamese Sphaeranthus africanus to find α-glucosidase inhibitory components. Eight compounds were detected and structurally elucidated. They are 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2'',3''-epoxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[3''-chloro-2''-hydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2''R,3''R-dihydroxy-2''-methyl-butanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2''S,3''R-dihydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2''S,3''S-dihydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 5-angeloyloxy-7-hydroxy-3-tigloyloxycarvotacetone, 3-O-methylquercetin, and chrysosplenol D. Their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectroscopy as well as comparisons in literature. 3-Angeloyloxy-5-[2''S,3''S-dihydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone is a new compound. Isolated compounds were evaluated for the α-glucosidase inhibition. Isolated compounds showed moderate activity with IC50 values ranging from 128.9-274.3â µM while others are weak. A molecular docking study was conducted, indicating that isolated compounds are potent α-glucosidase inhibitory compounds.

From the leaves of Cleome chelidonii L.f., two new flavonol glycosides, named cleomesides A (1) and B (2), and four known compounds, quercetin 3-O-ß-glucopyranosyl(1 â 2)-α-rhamnoside-7-O-α-rhamnoside (3), ethyl α-galactopyranoside (4), adenine (5) and glycerol monostearate (6), were isolated. The structures of all isolated compounds (1-6) were determined by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The data of known compounds (3-6) were further compared with the reported data for these compounds.
