The study found that Osbeckia nutans leaves have anti-diabetic and anti-urease activity, and the compound BE2 exhibits strong inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase and urease.
A study was conducted to investigate the anti-diabetic and anti-urease potential of Osbeckia nutans leaves (ONL). Six compounds, i.e. quercetin-3-O-glucoside, myricetin, shikimic acid, catechin, trans-ferulic acid and luteolin were identified from the butanol sub-fraction, BE2 and the ethyl acetate sub-fraction, EA5 of ONL. BE2 inhibited alpha-glucosidase and Jack bean urease with IC50 values of 0.036 mu g/mL (437.46 mu g/mL for acarbose) and 0.327 mg/mL (0.039 mg/mL for thiourea), respectively. In the glucose uptake experiment, BE2 (0.05 mg/mL) treatment resulted in a substantial increase in glucose uptake in free fatty acid (FFA)-treated cells at a concentration 10 times lower than that seen in EA5 (0.5 mg/mL) treated cells. The binding energies of quercetin-3-O-glucoside with alpha-glucosidase, glucose transporter GLUT4 and H. pylori urease were found to be -94.2585, -219.8271 and -254.391 kcal/mol, respectively. This study revealed that ONL has anti-diabetic and anti-urease abilities and further in-depth research may unveil its full potential.
