In the pursuit of identifying the novel resin glycoside modulators glucose-6-phosphatase and α-glucosidase enzymes, associated with blood sugar regulation, methanol-soluble extracts from the flowers of Ipomoea murucoides (cazahuate, Nahuatl), renowned for its abundance of glycolipids, were employed. The methanol-soluble extracts were fractionated by applying the affinity-directed method with glucose-6-phosphatase enzymes from a rat’s liver and α-glucosidase enzymes from its intestines. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance were employed to identify the high-affinity compound as a free ligand following the release from the enzymatic complex. Gel permeation through a spin size-exclusion column allowed the separated high-affinity molecules to bind to glucose-6-phosphatase and α-glucosidase enzymes in solution, which led to the identification of some previously reported resin glycosides in the flowers of cazahuate, where a glycolipid mainly structurally related to murucoidin XIV was observed. In vitro studies demonstrated the modulating properties of resin glycosides on the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme. Dynamic light scattering revealed conformational variations induced by resin glycosides on α-glucosidase enzyme, causing them to become more compact, akin to observations with the positive control, acarbose. These findings suggest that resin glycosides may serve as a potential source for phytotherapeutic agents with antihyperglycemic properties. |
