By analyzing the structures of natural compounds isolated from Cyclocarya paliurus leaves and conducting experiments, it was found that three of these compounds have stimulating effects on glucose uptake in adipocytes under insulin stimulation, showing a dose-dependent relationship. This suggests the potential application of abundant natural compounds from C. paliurus leaves in the treatment of diabetes.
Four new dammarane triterpenoid saponins cypaliurusides Z(1)-Z(4) (1-4) and eight known analogs (5-12) were isolated from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined using a comprehensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data. The docking study demonstrated that compound 10 strongly bonded with PTP1B (a potential drug target for the treatment of type-II diabetes and obesity), hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interactions, verifying the importance of sugar unit. The effects of the isolates on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes were evaluated and three dammarane triterpenoid saponins (6, 7 and 10) were found to enhance insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Furthermore, compounds 6, 7, and 10 exhibited potent abilities to promote insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, the abundant dammarane triterpenoid saponins from C. paliurus leaves exhibited stimulatory effects on glucose uptake with application potential as a antidiabetic treatment.
