Abstract

Eremophila (Scrophulariaceae) is a genus of Australian desert plants, which have been used by Australian Aboriginal people for various medicinal purposes. Crude extracts of the leaf resin of Eremophila glabra (R.Br.) Ostenf. showed α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 19.3 ± 1.2 μg/mL and 11.8 ± 2.1 μg/mL, respectively. Dual α-glucosidase/PTP1B high-resolution inhibition profiling combined with HPLC-PDA-HRMS and NMR were used to isolate and identify the compounds providing these activities. This resulted in isolation of seven undescribed serrulatane diterpenoids, eremoglabrane A-G, together with nine previously identified serrulatane diterpenoids and flavonoids. Three of the serrulatane diterpenoids showed PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC50 values from 63.8 ± 5.8 μM to 104.5 ± 25.9 μM.
