This research investigated a UPLC-QTOF/ESI-MS-based phytochemical profiling of Combretum indicum leaf extract (CILEx), and explored its in vitro antioxidant and in vivo antidiabetic effects in a Long–Evans rat model. After a one-week intervention, the animals’ blood glucose, lipid profile, and pancreatic architectures were evaluated. UPLC-QTOF/ESI-MS fragmentation of CILEx and its eight docking-guided compounds were further dissected to evaluate their roles using bioinformatics-based network pharmacological tools. Results showed a very promising antioxidative effect of CILEx. Both doses of CILEx were found to significantly (p < 0.05) reduce blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and total cholesterol (TC), and increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Pancreatic tissue architectures were much improved compared to the diabetic control group. A computational approach revealed that schizonepetoside E, melianol, leucodelphinidin, and arbutin were highly suitable for further therapeutic assessment. Arbutin, in a Gene Ontology and PPI network study, evolved as the most prospective constituent for 203 target proteins of 48 KEGG pathways regulating immune modulation and insulin secretion to control diabetes. The fragmentation mechanisms of the compounds are consistent with the obtained effects for CILEx. Results show that the natural compounds from CILEx could exert potential antidiabetic effects through in vivo and computational study.

Anti-diabetic compounds from natural sources are now being preferred to prevent or treat diabetes due to adverse effects of synthetic drugs. The decoction of Muntingia calabura leaves was traditionally consumed for diabetes treatment. However, there has not been any published data currently available on the processing effects on this plant’s biological activity and phytochemical profile. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of three drying methods (freeze-drying (FD), air-drying (AD), and oven-drying (OD)) and ethanol:water ratios (0, 50, and 100%) on in vitro anti-diabetic activities of M. calabura leaves. In addition, an ultrahigh-performance-liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method was used to characterize the metabolites in the active extract. The FD M. calabura leaves, extracted with 50% ethanol, is the most active extract that exhibits a high α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 0.46 ± 0.05 and 26.39 ± 3.93 µg/mL, respectively. Sixty-one compounds were tentatively identified by using UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS from the most active extract. Quantitative analysis, by using UHPLC, revealed that geniposide, daidzein, quercitrin, 6-hydroxyflavanone, kaempferol, and formononetin were predominant compounds identified from the active extract. The results have laid down preliminary steps toward developing M. calabura leaves extract as a potential source of bioactive compounds for diabetic treatment.

Abstract[CuI(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)P(p-OCH3-Ph)2CH2SarcosineGlycine] (1-MPSG), highly stable in physiological media phosphino copper(I) complex—is proposed herein as a viable alternative to anticancer platinum-based drugs. It is noteworthy that, 1-MPSG significantly and selectively reduced cell viability in a 3D spheroidal model of human lung adenocarcinoma (A549), in comparison with non-cancerous HaCaT cells. Confocal microscopy and an ICP-MS analysis showed that 1-MPSG effectively accumulates inside A549 cells with colocalization in mitochondria and nuclei. A precise cytometric analysis revealed a predominance of apoptosis over the other types of cell death. In the case of HaCaT cells, the overall cytotoxicity was significantly lower, indicating the selective activity of 1-MPSG towards cancer cells. Apoptosis also manifested itself in a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential along with the activation of caspases-3/9. Moreover, the caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK) pretreatment led to decreased level of apoptosis (more pronouncedly in A549 cells than in non-cancerous HaCaT cells) and further validated the caspases dependence in 1-MPSG-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, the 1-MPSG complex presumably induces the changes in the cell cycle leading to G2/M phase arrest in a dose-dependent manner. It was also observed that the 1-MPSG mediated intracellular ROS alterations in A549 and HaCaT cells. These results, proved by fluorescence spectroscopy, and flow cytometry, suggest that investigated Cu(I) compound may trigger apoptosis also through ROS generation.
