Popis: The phytochemical investigation of Huberantha jenkinsii resulted in the isolation of two new and five known compounds. The new compounds were characterized as undescribed 8-oxoprotoberberine alkaloids and named huberanthines A and B, whereas the known compounds were identified as allantoin, oxylopinine, N-trans-feruloyl tyramine, N-trans-p-coumaroyl tyramine, and mangiferin. The structure determination was accomplished by spectroscopic methods. To evaluate therapeutic potential in diabetes and Parkinson&rsquo
s disease, the isolates were subjected to assays for their &alpha
glucosidase inhibitory activity, cellular glucose uptake stimulatory activity, and protective activity against neurotoxicity induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). The results suggested that mangiferin was the most promising lead compound, demonstrating significant activity in all the test systems.
