Polyphenol extracts from the burs of Castanea mollissima Blume (CMPE) exhibited potential antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of CMPE were assessed as a means of elucidating the mechanism behind its hypoglycemic activities. In vitro studies showed that CMPE significantly inhibited both yeast α-glucosidase, through a noncompetitive mode with an IC50 of 0.33 μg/mL, and rat intestinal α-glucosidase. In vivo studies revealed that oral administration of CMPE at doses of 600 mg/kg significantly reduced postprandial blood glucose levels by 27.2% in normal rats following sucrose challenges. Gel permeation chromatography revealed that CMPE exhibited typical characteristics of high-molecular-mass polymers with mean (Mn) and weight (Mw) average molecular weights of 35.4 and 50.7 kDa, respectively, and a polydispersity (Mw/Mn) of 1.432. Acid hydrolysis analysis indicated the presence of ellagitannins. These data suggest that CMPE, enriched with ellagitannins, would be an efficacious dietary supplement for diabetes management through the inhibition of alpha-glucosidase.
栗蓬多酚提取物(CMPE)具有潜在的抗氧化和降血糖活性。通过评估 CMPE 的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性,以阐明其降血糖活性的机制。体外研究表明,CMPE 可显著抑制酵母α-葡萄糖苷酶和大鼠肠α-葡萄糖苷酶,其抑制作用均为非竞争性模式,IC50 值分别为 0.33μg/mL 和 0.36μg/mL。体内研究表明,CMPE 在 600mg/kg 剂量下,经口给予正常大鼠后,可显著降低蔗糖负荷后的餐后血糖水平,降低 27.2%。凝胶渗透色谱显示,CMPE 表现出典型的高分子聚合物特征,重均分子量(Mw)和数均分子量(Mn)分别为 50.7 和 35.4 kDa,多分散性(Mw/Mn)为 1.432。酸水解分析表明存在鞣花单宁。这些数据表明,富含鞣花单宁的 CMPE 通过抑制α-葡萄糖苷酶,可能成为一种有效的糖尿病膳食补充剂。
