Three new phenylacetamide glycosides from Dracocephalum tanguticum Maxim and their anti-hyperglycemic activity.

Three new phenylacetamide glycosides (1-3) together with one known phenylacetamide glycoside (4) and two known flavonoid glycosides (5-6) were isolated from whole plants of Dracocephalum tanguticum. The structure of all compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with data reported in related literature. Compounds (1-3) were evaluated for their anti-hyperglycemic and anti-fungal (Candida albicans) activities, the results revealed that all of them showed moderate activity with 3T3-L1 adipocytes glucose consumption rate of 20.80 ± 1.47%, 21.48 ± 2.44%, and 21.57 ± 1.35%, respectively at the final concentration of 25 µM. However, none of them showed obvious Candida albicans inhibitory activity.
