Abstract

In our continuation of exploring antidiabetic agents from Garcinia species, we found that the methanolic extract of G. macrantha A.C.Sm. exhibited considerable α-glucosidase inhibition of 58.20 ± 0.37% in sucrose substrate and 39.86 ± 2.07% in maltose substrate at 100 μg/mL. Phytochemical investigation on the extract revealed the presence of a new biphenyl, macrabiphenyl A, which was successfully elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods (HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR). The α-glucosidase inhibitory evaluation indicated that the new compound was weakly active against the enzyme.
