Luo, LS Wang, LL Shen, MMLiao, CH Lu, XY Liu, and CQ Liang, Phytochemistry, 183, 112618 (2021), the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of compound 1 was determined using acarbose as a positive control. The specific experimental steps are as follows:

[0060] The compound was prepared as a stock solution of 1% DMSO, and then diluted with phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) to produce solutions of different concentrations for experiments. 50 μL of sample solutions or acarbose solutions of different concentrations (1, 10, 50, 100, 200, and 300 μM) were added to 96-well plates, followed by 50 μL of buffer solution and 100 μL of 0.2 U / mL α-glucosidase. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes, then 50 μL of 2 mM 4-PNPG solution was added, and the mixture was incubated again at 37°C. The absorbance was measured at 405 nm.

[0061] The inhibition rate of compound 1 against α-glucosidase was calculated using the following formula.

[0062] α-glucosidase inhibition rate (%) = [Ac - (As - Ab) / Ac] × 100%

[0063] Where Ac is the absorbance without the control group, Ab is the absorbance without the 4-PNPG control group, and As is the absorbance of the sample to be tested.

[0064] Enzyme inhibition kinetics assay: The reversibility of inhibition was investigated for the inhibitory activity of the enzyme against different concentrations (0 and 300 μM) of the compound at enzyme concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 U / mL. The reaction rate was tested using four different concentrations of 4-PNPG (0.5, 0.7, 1.0, and 2.0 mmol / L) and three different concentrations of compound 1. Double reciprocal curves of the compound were obtained, and the type of inhibition was evaluated.

[0065] The results showed that compound 1 has potential inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase, IC50. 50 The value was 71.14 ± 5.82 μmol / L, and the IC50 of acarbose was... 50 The value was 120.58 ± 39.21 μmol / L. Kinetic analysis showed that... Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the equation, all straight lines pass through the origin (0,0), and the slope of the lines decreases with increasing sample concentration. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of compound 1 and acarbose on α-glucosidase is reversible. Furthermore, in... Figure 6 As can be seen, compound 1 intersects on the x-axis, and compound 1 inhibits α-glucosidase in a non-competitive manner; Figure 7 In acarbose, the lines intersect on the y-axis, indicating that its inhibitory effect is competitive.
