Wedtrilosides A and B, two new diterpenoid glycosides from the leaves of Wedelia trilobata (L.) Hitchc. with α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities

In the ongoing research to find new diabetes constituents from the genus Wedelia, the chemical constituent of Wedelia trilobata leaves, a Vietnamese medicinal plant species used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, was selected for detailed investigation. From a methanolic extract, two new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, wedtrilosides A and B (1 and 2), along with five known metabolites (3-7), were isolated from W. trilobata. The chemical structures of...
