Bio-guided isolation of alpha-glucosidase inhibitory compounds from Vietnamese Garcinia schomburgkiana fruits: in vitro and in silico studies.

ABSTRACT: Garcinia schomburgkiana is an edible tree widely distributed in the southern region of Vietnam. Little is known about the alpha-glucosidase inhibition of the Vietnamese Garcinia schomburgkiana. The aim of the current study was to explore the anti-diabetic potential of G. schomburgkiana fruits. All the fractions of G. schomburgkiana were evaluated for alpha-glucosidase inhibition, followed by bioassay-guided isolation. A new compound, epi-guttiferone Q (1), together with ten known compounds, guttiferones I-K (2-3), hypersampsone I (4), sampsonione D (5), sampsonione H (6), β-mangostin (7), α-mangostin (8), 9-hydroxycalabaxanthone (9), and fuscaxanthone (10), were isolated and structurally elucidated. The structure of the new metabolite 1 was confirmed thro
