Edible prodelphinidins that improve postprandial hyperglycemia were discovered in Chinese bayberry(Myrica rubra Sieb.et Zucc.)fruits
Plant polyphenols are potential substitutes for clinical α-glucosidase inhibitors.Our previous studies indicated that prodelphinidins from Chinese bayberry leaves(BLPs)have stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than other common polyphenols,but they have no safe history of consumption.There is a reasonable prospect that prodelphinidins from Chinese bayberry fruits(BFPs)can improve postprandial hyperglycemia,though known active components are only myricetin and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside.Hence,the aim of this study was to analyze structure and hypoglycemic effect of BFPs of"Biqi"(BQPs)and"Dongkui"(DKPs)cultivars,and compare their difference with BLPs.The contents of BQPs and DKPs were(221.73±0.60)and(136.82±4.33)mg epicatechin(EC)equivalents/g dry weight,respectively.The most subunits were epigallocatechin gallate along with a small amount of epigallocatechin,epicatechin gallate and EC connected by B-type linkages and a small portion of A-type linkages with mean polymerization degree of 4.25 and 4.08,respectively.Importantly,BQPs and DKPs were α-glucosidase inhibitors with half inhibitory concentration of 11.91 and 9.47 μg/mL respectively,which were significantly stronger than BLPs.DKPs could also improve postprandial hyperglycemia of normal mice and high fat diet-induced type Ⅱ diabetic mice.Therefore,edible prodelphinidins,which have stronger hypoglycemic effect than BLPs,were first found in Chinese bayberry fruits.
