Abstract:
α-Glucosidase inhibitors play an important role in the treatment of diabetes. This study established a high-resolution bioassay profiling platform for rapidly screening
α-glucosidase inhibitors in natural product extracts. Five
α-glucosidase inhibitors were identified from
Malus hupehensis, namely, 3-hydroxyphloridzin, quercetin-3-
O-
β-
D-glucopyranoside, phloridzin, avicularin and quercitrin. The establishment and successful application of this platform provides a powerful tool for the efficient discovery of anti-diabetic active ingredients in complex systems.
