A trisaccharide phenylethanoid glycoside from Scrophularia flava Grau with potential anti-type 2 diabetic properties by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzyme and decreasing oxidative stress

The Scrophularia genus is a rich source of phenylethanoid glycosides, with diverse biological activities including anti-diabetic properties. This study investigated anti-type 2 diabetic potential and active component of Scrophularia flava Grau. A new phenylethanoid glycoside was isolated from aerial parts of the plant and identified as 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) ethyl 6-deoxy-3-O-[(2E)-3-(3 hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)...
