N2 - Six species of Myrcia, commonly known as 'insulin plants' in Brazil, were assessed for their potential as functional foods. Thus, dual high-resolution α-glucosidase/PTP1B inhibition profiling and HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR analysis were used to identify the antidiabetic constituents of the crude ethyl acetate extract of M. rubella Cambess. A total of 31 compounds were identified, including seven α-glucosidase inhibitors with IC50 values between 0.6 and 22.4 μM: 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, isoquercitrin, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, kaempferol-3-O-(6″-galloyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-(6″-malonyl)-glucopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-(6″-(E)-feruloyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside, and quercetin-3-O-(2″-(E)-sinapoyl)-glucopyranoside as well as three strong PTP1B inhibitors with IC50 values between 0.4 and 3.1 μM: kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnoside, astragalin, and arjunolic acid. These results show that M. rubella is a potential bifunctional food for management of type 2 diabetes.
