The invention relates to a novel hexahydropyrroloindole
alkaloid extracted from fructus lycii, which can effectively solve the problems of extracting and preparing the novel hexahydropyrroloindole
alkaloid A from the fructus lycii and realizing the application of the novel hexahydropyrroloindole
alkaloid A in preparation of medicines for preventing and treating type 2
diabetes mellitus. The novel hexahydropyrroloindole alkaloid A is prepared by the following steps: sequentially eluting with water,
ethanol and
acetone, carrying out reduced pressure concentration on an
ethanol part, extracting, stirring a sample with
silica gel, carrying out
gradient elution, merging the same fractions, eluting a target component, stirring the sample with
silica gel, carrying out
gradient elution, collecting fractions within
retention time, concentrating and
drying, thereby obtaining the novel hexahydropyrroloindole alkaloid A in the preparation of the
medicine for preventing and treating the type 2
diabetes mellitus and the application of the novel hexahydropyrroloindole alkaloid A in the preparation of the
medicine for preventing and treating the type 2
diabetes mellitus. Glucose consumption in
insulin-resistant HepG2 cells can be remarkably promoted,
glucose uptake capacity is improved,
glycogen synthesis is promoted, activity of
glycolysis key enzymes
hexokinase and
pyruvate kinase is enhanced, development and application prospects are wide, and economic and
social benefits are remarkable.
