Abstract:

Some glucosidase inhibitors show antitumor metastasis and anti-HIV activities and are also clinically useful for the treatment of diabetes, besides andrographolide derivative have been proven to be potent an α-glucosidase inhibitor. In order to investigate the double effect of glucosidase inhibition activity, a new diterpene lactone derivative 2 was synthesized via reduction of compound 1 which was one of the constitutions of Andrographis Pamicutate (Brum) Nees. The structure of compound 2 was confirmed with X-ray diffraction analysis, NMR, IR, HR-MS and so on. Compound 2 shows a selective α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with inhibition of 49.6% at 100 μmol/L, and the mother 1 has no inhibition activity(100 μmol/L). The results indicate that the double bond can affect the α-glucosidase inhibition activity of andrographolide.

Key words: Stereoselective reduction, 8,12,13,17-Tetrahydroandrographolide, Crystal structure, Glucosidase, Inhibitory activity
