Identification of Hypoglycemic Glycolipids from Ipomoea murucoides by Affinity-Directed Fractionation, In Vitro, In Silico and Dynamic Light Scattering Analysis.

ABSTRACT: In the pursuit of identifying the novel resin glycoside modulators glucose-6-phosphatase and α-glucosidase enzymes, associated with blood sugar regulation, methanol-soluble extracts from the flowers of Ipomoea murucoides (cazahuate, Nahuatl), renowned for its abundance of glycolipids, were employed. The methanol-soluble extracts were fractionated by applying the affinity-directed method with glucose-6-phosphatase enzymes from a rat's liver and α-glucosidase enzymes from its intestines. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance were employed to identify the high-affinity compound as a free ligand following the release from the enzymatic complex. Gel permeation through a spin size-exclusion column allowed the separated high-affinity molecules to bind to glucose-6-
