Rehder. PG - 113421 LID - S0031-9422(22)00337-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.phytochem.2022.113421 [doi] AB - Eight undescribed phenylpropanoid-dihydrochalcone hybrids, namely (+)- and (-)-malahupin A, (+)- and (-)-malahupin B, (+/-)-malahupin C, malahupinosides A and B, 7'''-epi-malahupinoside B, together with two known compounds, phloretin and phlorizin, were isolated from the leaves of the folk medicinal plant Malus hupehensis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS spectroscopic methods, chiral-phase analysis, and ECD calculations. Compounds (+)-malahupin B and malahupinoside B showed weak inhibition activities against the nitric oxide production in liposaccharide-induced murine RAW264.7 macrophages with IC(50) values of 36.7 and 27.0 muM, respectively. Compounds (+)- and (-)-malahupin A, (+)- and (-)-malahupin B exhibited significant alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with IC(50) values of 22.5, 19.1, 19.2, and 17.4 muM, respectively. The postulated biosynthetic pathways to these hybrid compounds were proposed. This work represents the first report of the natural phenylpropanoid-dihydrochalcone hybrid compound, and lays foundation for the study on the bioactive principles of the ethnic hypoglycemic medicinal plant.
