CTL1∼36 exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects against α-glucosidase, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 2.81 to 12.40 μM, significantly surpassing the positive control acarbose (IC₅₀ = 564.28 μM). Notably, CTL26 demonstrated the most potent inhibition (IC₅₀ = 2.81 μM) and was characterized as a non-competitive inhibitor. Through a combination assay with fluorescence quenching, 3D fluorescence spectra, CD spectra, and molecular docking, we elucidated that CTL26 formed a complex with α-glucosidase via hydrogen bondings and hydrophobic interactions, leading to α-glucosidase conformation changes that impaired enzymatic activity. In vivo studies revealed that oral administration of CTL26 (25 and 50 mg/kg/d) reduced fasting blood glucose levels, enhanced glucose tolerance, and ameliorated lipid abnormalities in diabetic mice. These findings positioned CTL26 as a promising candidate for the development of α-glucosidase inhibitors with anti-diabetic potential.23:T42a,Coumarin and chalcone, two important kinds of natural product skeletons, both exhibit α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In this work, coumarin-chalcone derivatives 3 (a∼v) were synthesized, and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was screened. The results showed that all synthetic derivatives (IC₅₀: 24.09 ± 2.36 to 125.26 ± 1.18 μM) presented better α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the parent compounds 3-acetylcoumarin (IC₅₀: 1.5 × 10⁵ μM) and the positive control acarbose (IC₅₀: 259.90 ± 1.06 μM). Among them, compound 3t displayed the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC₅₀: 24.09 ± 2.36 μM), which was approximately 10 times stronger than that of acarbose. The kinetic assay of 3t (K _I = 18.82 μM, K _IS = 59.99 μM) revealed that these compounds inhibited α-glucosidase in a mixed-type manner. Molecular docking was used to simulate the interaction between α-glucosidase and compound 3t.
