Pharmacological inhibition of acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20) has emerged as a potential therapy for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Bioassay-guided isolation of CHCl3 extracts of the fruits of Piper longum and Piper nigum (Piperaceae), using an in vitro DGAT inhibitory assay, lead to isolation of a new alkamide named (2E,4Z,8E)-N-[9-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,4,8-nonatrienoyl]piperidine (2), together with four known alkamides: retrofractamide C (1), pipernonaline (3), piperrolein B (4), and dehydropipernonaline (5). Compounds 2-5 inhibited DGAT with IC50 values of 29.8 (2), 37.2 (3), 20.1 (4), and 21.2 (5) microM, respectively, but the IC50 value for 1 was more than 900 microM. This finding indicates that compounds possessing piperidine groups (2-5) can be potential DGAT inhibitors.
抑制酰基辅酶A:二酰基甘油酰基转移酶(DGAT,EC 2.3.1.20)的药理作用已成为治疗肥胖症和2型糖尿病的一种潜在疗法。利用体外DGAT抑制试验,对长蒌叶胡椒和黑胡椒(胡椒科)果实的氯仿提取物进行生物测定导向分离,得到一种名为(2E,4Z,8E)-N-[9-(3,4-亚甲二氧基苯基)-2,4,8-壬三烯酰基]哌啶(2)的新酰胺,以及四种已知酰胺:反式断裂酰胺C(1)、胡椒壬碱(3)、胡椒罗林B(4)和脱氢胡椒壬碱(5)。化合物2 - 5对DGAT的抑制作用的IC50值分别为29.8(2)、37.2(3)、20.1(4)和21.2(5)微摩尔,但1的IC50值超过900微摩尔。这一发现表明,具有哌啶基团的化合物(2 - 5)可能是潜在的DGAT抑制剂。
