ABSTRACT: According to the International Diabetes Federation, type 2 diabetes (T2D) has reached epidemic proportions, affecting more than 382 million people worldwide. Inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) and α-glucosidase is a recognized therapeutic approach for management of T2D and its associated complications. The lack of clinical drugs targeting PTP1B and side effects of the existing α-glucosidase drugs, emphasize the need for new drug leads for these T2D targets. In the present work, dual highresolution PTP1B and α-glucosidase inhibition profiles of Eremophila gibbosa, E. glabra, and E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” were used for pinpointing α-glucosidase and/or PTP1B inhibitory constituents directly from the crude extracts. A subsequent targeted high-performance liquid chromatography−highresolution mass spectrometry−solid-phase extraction−nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR) analysis and preparative-scale HPLC isolation led to identification of 21 metabolites from the three species, of which 16 were serrulatane-type diterpenoids (12 new) associated with either α-glucosidase and/or PTP1B inhibition. This is the first report of serrulatane-type diterpenoids as potential α-glucosidase and/or PTP1B inhibitors.

the dephosphorylation of the activated insulin receptor, which results in downregulation of the insulin-signaling pathway. Thus, PTP1B is an important drug target for the management of blood glucose in patients with T2D.8,9 Despite a number of drug lead candidates of both natural and synthetic origin, there are no clinically approved PTP1B inhibitors.10,11 This might be due to the fact that most of the discovered PTP1B inhibitors are highly charged molecules, which limits their potential as drug leads.12 Several studies have shown that plants are important sources of new antidiabetic drug leadsoften having multiple modes of action through interaction with different target enzymes related to diabetes.13−15 Within this realm, diterpenoids constitute an especially potent reservoir of drug leads. It is becoming increasingly clear that structurally unique diterpenoid ligands acting at the same receptor can preferentially activate different signaling pathways, which in turn may result in entirely

iabetes mellitus caused 5.1 million deaths and constituted 11% (548 billion U.S. dollars) of the total health care expenditure worldwide in 2013.1 Type 2 diabetes (T2D), also known as noninsulin-dependent diabetes, accounts for 90% of the total 382 million diabetes cases.2,3 This alarming global burden emphasizes the need for new and effective therapeutic approaches. T2D is characterized by insulin resistance possibly due to diminished postreceptor insulin signaling.4 This results in postprandial hyperglycemia (after-meal elevated blood glucose level), which is the major cause of the severe micro- and macro-vascular complications associated with T2D.5,6 One of the well-established therapeutic approaches for controlling postprandial hyperglycaemia is inhibition of αglucosidase, an enzyme that catalyzes glucose release from the nonreducing end of dietary carbohydrates, thereby elevating the blood glucose level. The existing clinical drugs targeting this enzyme (i.e., acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose) are associated with gastrointestinal side effects,7 and new potent α-glucosidase inhibitors are needed for management of blood glucose.

different drug effects.16,17 This may partly explain why diterpenoids are effective toward a multitude of diseases ranging from cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, inflammation, stomach ulcers, and menopause-related conditions.16−18 Diterpenoids are structurally complex molecules produced in plants in complex mixtures from a single precursor (geranylgeranyl diphosphate), typically in minute amounts, thereby rendering isolation difficult, time-consuming, and resource-demanding.19 Key classes of enzymes involved in diterpenoid synthesis include terpenoid synthases and cytochrome P450s. Elucidation of complete biosynthetic pathways for structurally complex diterpenoids and biotechnological approaches aimed at heterologous expression of specific diterpenoid pathways in yeast may facilitate access to otherwise inaccessible diterpenoids and analogues of these.20 In recent years, several advanced bioanalytical techniques have been developed and utilized for screening plant extracts against several therapeutic targets, including those associated with T2D. Among such technological advances, high-resolution bioassay-coupled HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR has proven to be an effective technique for the targeted identification of bioactive constituents directly from crude plant extracts. This platform has been used for the identification of α-glucosidase inhibitors,21 α-amylase inhibitors,22 aldose reductase inhibitors,23 monoamine oxidase-A inhibitors,24 antioxidants,25 and PM H+-ATPase inhibitors26 from various natural product extracts. In the current study, this platform is used for dual high-resolution α-glucosidase/PTP1B inhibition profiling of Eremophila gibbosa, E. glabra, and E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie”plant species that are endemic to Australia and known to contain an array of diterpenoids with a wide range of structural features and pharmacological activities.27

resolution of 5.0 data points per min. For E. gibossa (Figure 2), peaks 2, 4, and 6 showed more than 45% α-glucosidase inhibition, whereas peaks 3 and 5 showed lower α-glucosidase inhibition. However, no significant inhibition of PTP1B was observed. Peaks 9 and 12 from E. glabra showed significant inhibition of α-glucosidase and PTP1B, respectively (Figure 3),



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Crude ethyl acetate extracts of Eremophila gibbosa, E. glabra, and E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” were assessed for concentration-dependent inhibition of PTP1B. The IC50 curves are shown in Figure 1, and the resulting IC50 values were 0.10 ± 0.03 mg/mL (E. gibossa), 0.013 ± 0.004 mg/mL (E. glabra), and 0.0057 ± 0.0175 mg/mL (E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie”). This was followed by optimization of a reversed-phase analytical-scale HPLC method, microfractionation in two 96well microplates, α-glucosidase and PTP1B inhibition assaying of the content in all wells, construction of dual high-resolution PTP1B/α-glucosidase inhibition profiles, and targeted HPLCHRMS-SPE-NMR analysis of PTP1B and/or α-glucosidase inhibitors. Dual High-Resolution PTP1B/α-Glucosidase Inhibition Profiling. For all three extracts, 176 fractions were collected in the retention time range from 10 to 45 min, yielding a

whereas moderate inhibition of PTP1B was observed for peaks 11 (21%) and 13 (29%). For E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie”, the major peak 20 was associated with 66% inhibition of PTP1B as well as 87% inhibition of α-glucosidase (Figure 4), whereas minor peaks 21−27 exhibited mainly PTP1B inhibition. Peaks correlated with α-glucosidase and/or PTP1B inhibition were subjected to HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR analysis, and a total of 21 metabolites were identified from the three species based on these experiments. 1H NMR and HRMS data B

dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone. The structure shown in Figure 5 is in agreement with the 2S configuration observed for naturally occurring 4′,5-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (sakuranetin), but based on the MS and NMR data obtained in the HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR, 3 could also be the 2R enantiomer. Sakuranetin has been shown previously to stimulate glucose uptake in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and has been recognized as a potential antidiabetic drug lead.29 The material eluted as peak 4 showed an [M + H]+ ion with m/z 333.2062, which suggested the molecular formula C20H28O4. Analysis of 2D COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC spectra allowed identification of 4 as 8,16-dihydroxyserrulat-14-en-19-oic acid.30 The relative configurations of C-1, C-4, and C-11 as well as the E-configuration of the C-14−C-15 double bond were assigned based on the NOESY experiment. However, the absolute configuration of the stereogenic carbon atoms of 4 and the other isolated serrulatane-type diterpenoids, vide inf ra, could not be established based on the MS and NMR data obtained in the HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR mode. Therefore, the structures shown in Figure 5 represent only one of two possible enantiomers, but the configurations of C-1, C-4, and C-11 are in agreement with the 1R,4S,11S configuration previously established for dihydroxyserrulatic acid isolated from Eremophila serrulata.31 The material eluted as peak 6 showed an [M + H]+ ion with m/z 331.1910, which suggested the molecular formula C20H26O4. The 1H NMR spectrum of 6 showed resonances for the serrulatic acid core and a distinct formyl proton (δ 9.27, s). The position of the formyl group was

After assigning all the 1H and 13C NMR resonances on the basis of analysis of homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR experiments (COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC), 6 was identified as 8-hydroxy-16-oxoserrulat-14en-19-oic acid. Compound 6 is a new compound, and 1H and 13 C NMR data obtained in the HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR mode is given in Table 1, and selected NOE and HMBC correlations are shown in Figure 6. The amount of material eluted with peak 2 and 5 did not allow structural identification of these two minor metabolites. However, the material showed [M + H]+ ions with m/z 317.1027 and 335.2213, respectively, corresponding to molecular formulas C17H16O6 (suggesting a dimethoxylated flavonoid for the material eluted with peak 2) and C20H30O4 (suggesting a diterpenoid core for the material eluted with peak 5). The material eluted as peak 9 from E. glabra and peak 19 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” showed an [M + H]+ ion with m/z 335.2215 (corresponding to the molecular formula C20H30O4), and comparison of 1H NMR

chemical shifts with literature data, resulted in identification of 9/19 as 8,16-dihydroxyserrulat-19-oic acid.32 The material eluted with peak 20 and 21 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” are associated with α-glucosidase as well as PTP1B inhibition and are therefore discussed in the next section. Identification of PTP1B Inhibitors. The amount of material from the late eluting PTP1B inhibitory peaks 11, 12, and 13 from E. glabra afforded 1H NMR spectra in the HPLCHRMS-SPE-NMR mode but was insufficient for high-quality 2D NMR dataeven after multiple trappings on SPE cartridges. Similar challenges were encountered for HPLCHRMS-SPE-NMR analysis of the late eluting peaks 21−27 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie”. The lipophilicity of such late eluting metabolites is expected to result in a stronger retention on the polydivinyl-benzene phase cartridges, thereby causing a lowered concentration in the final elution volume.33 Peaks 11−13 and 21−27 were therefore identified from material isolated using preparative-scale HPLC. The material eluted as peak 12 from E. glabra showed an [M + H]+ ion with m/z 465.2614, which suggested the molecular E

formula C29H36O5. The 1H NMR spectrum of 12 showed similar resonances as 8,16-dihydroxyserrulat-19-oic acid (9) as well as additional resonances assigned to a cinnamoyl unit. 3J HMBC correlations from the diastereotopic proton pair H16a/H-16b to the C-1′ carbonyl group proved the cinnamoyl unit to be attached at C-16. The material eluted with peak 11 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” was a mixture showing [M + H]+ ions with m/z 431.2806 and 467.2774, corresponding to the molecular formulaes C26H38O5 and C29H38O5, respectively. Likewise, the 1H NMR spectrum showed two sets of signals both displaying similar resonances as 8,16-dihydroxyserrulat19-oic acid (9), and additional 4-methylpent-3-enoyl (11a) and dihydrocinnamoyl (11b) signals. The esterification of the serrulatane core at C-16 was confirmed by 3J HMBC correlations from the diastereotopic proton pair H-16a/H16b to the C-1′ carbonyl group of the 4-methylpent-3-enoyl (11a) and dihydrocinnamoyl (11b), respectively. 2D homoand heteronuclear experiments were used to assign all 1H and 13 C NMR resonances of 11a, 11b, and 12 (Table 2), and selected NOE and HMBC correlations are shown in Figure 6. This led to identification of 11a as 8-hydroxy-16-[(4methylpent-3-enoyl)oxy]serrulat-19-oic acid, 11b as 8-hydroxy-16-dihydrocinnamoyloxyserrulat-19-oic acid, and 12 as 8-hydroxy-16-cinnamoyloxyserrulat-19-oic acid, which are all new compounds. These metabolites are the first O-methylpentenoyl, O-dihydrocinnamoyl, and O-cinnamoyl esters of serrulatane-type diterpenoids. The late eluting minor metabo-

lite form E. glabra (i.e., peak 13), associated with moderate PTP1B inhibition, was assigned the molecular formula C20H28O3. However, adequate NMR data could not be acquired, even after preparative-scale HPLC isolation. The material eluted as the major peak 20 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” showed an [M + H]+ ion with m/z 351.2169, corresponding to the molecular formula C20H30O5, and it was identified as 7,8,16-trihydroxyserrulat-19-oic acid (20) after full assignment of COSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC spectra and comparison of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts with literature data.34 The 1H NMR spectrum of the material eluted with peak 21 showed similar resonances as compound 20, suggesting a 7,8,16-trihydroxylated serrulatic acid core. In addition, the low-field region of the 1H NMR spectrum showed an AMX spin system for a 1,2,4 trisubstituted aromatic moiety (δ 7.04, d, J = 2.0 Hz, δ 6.74, d, J = 8.1 Hz, and δ 6.94, dd, J = 2.0 and 8.1 Hz) and two trans-coupled olefinic resonances (δ 7.52, d, J = 15.8 Hz and δ 6.25, d, J = 15.8 Hz), strongly suggesting this metabolite to be a caffeoyl ester of compound 20. This was supported by the molecular formula C29H36O8 obtained from HRMS data (513.2474 [M + H]+), and based on the deshielded H-16b (δ 3.99, dd, J = 10.8 and 5.9 Hz) and H-16a (δ 3.93, dd, J = 6.7 and 10.8 Hz), 21 was tentatively identified as 7,8-dihydroxy-16-caffeoyloxyserrulat19-oic acid (very low amount of 21 limited NMR analysis to a 1D 1H NMR experiment). Compound 21 is a new compound, and assignment of the 1H NMR collated in Table 2 was done F

by comparison of 1H NMR shifts with those unambiguously identified for 20. The material eluted as peaks 23 and 24 showed [M + H]+ ions with m/z 527.2638 and 333.2058, which suggested the molecular formula C30H38O8 and C20H28O4. The 1H NMR spectrum of 23 showed all the characteristic resonances observed for 21 with the addition of a methoxy singlet at δ 3.92. Full assignment of all 1H and 13C NMR resonances from 2D homo- and heteronuclear NMR experiments allowed identification of compound 23 as 7,8-dihydroxy-16-feruloyloxyserrulat-19-oic acid. The 1H NMR spectrum of compound 24 showed characteristic resonances of the serrulatane core structure with a single aromatic resonance (δ 7.28, br s) suggesting dihydroxylation of the aromatic ring. A detailed 2D NMR analysis confirmed the 7,8-dihydroxylation pattern of the serrulatane core, and compound 24 was identified as 7,8dihydroxyserrulat-14-en-19-oic acid. Both 23 and 24 are new compounds, and 1H and 13C NMR resonances are shown in Table 2 and selected NOE and HMBC correlations are shown Figure 6. The material eluted as peaks 25 and 27 showed [M + H]+ ions with m/z 421.2586 and 435.2744, which suggested the molecular formula C24H36O6 and C25H38O6, respectively. Both compounds showed a singlet for H-5 in the 1H NMR spectrum, in agreement with a 7,8 dihydroxylated serrulatane core, and a downfield shift of the H-16 resonances, in agreement with esterification with butanoic acid (25) and 3-methylbutanoic acid (27) at C-16. Full 2D NMR analysis resulted in identification of 25 as 7,8-dihydroxy-16-butanoyloxyserrulat19-oic acid and 27 as 7,8-dihydroxy-16-[(3-methylbutanoyl)oxy]serrulat-19-oic acid (27). Both are new compounds, and 1 H and 13C NMR resonances are shown in Table 2 and selected NOE and HMBC correlations are shown Figure 6. The material eluted as peak 26 showed an [M + H]+ ion with m/z 447.2745, which suggested the molecular formula C26H38O6, but insufficient amounts of this metabolite prevented a complete structural elucidation. Identification of Additional Metabolites. In addition to the metabolites correlated with α-glucosidase and/or PTP1B inhibition, vide supra, other major metabolites from the three species were identified. Based on HRMS and NMR data, the material eluted with peak 1 from E. gibossa and peak 14 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” were both identified as dinatin (1/ 14),35 the material eluted with peaks 8 and 10 from E. glabra were identified as verbascoside (8)36 and 8-hydroxyserrulat-14en-19-oic acid (10),37 respectively. The material eluted with peak 15 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” was identified as jaceosidin (15; a dimethoxylated flavonoid previously isolated from Eremophila microtheca),34 and the material eluted with peak 22 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” was identified as the only sesquiterpenoid, 7-hydroxycalamenene (22).38 The material eluted as peak 7 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” showed a [M + H]+ ion with m/z 375.2155, which suggested the molecular formula C22H30O5, and the 1H NMR spectrum showed resonances similar to those observed for dihydroxyserrulatic acid (4). However, an additional methyl singlet (δ 2.02) and a downfield shift of the H-16 methylene resonance (δ 4.39) were consistent with acetylation at C-16. This was also in agreement with a 3J HMBC correlation from H-16 to the acetyl carbonyl carbon (δ 173.0), and 7 was thus identified as 8-hydroxy-16-acetoxyserrulat-14-en-19-oic acid. Compound 7 is a new compound, and 1H and 13C NMR

resonances are shown in Table 2, and selected NOE and HMBC correlations are shown in Figure 6. The material eluted as peaks 16 and 18 from E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” showed [M + H]+ ions with m/z 363.1809 and 349.2014, which suggested the molecular formulaes C20H26O6 and C20H28O5, respectively. The 1H NMR spectra of these metabolites showed a single aromatic resonance (unlike the serrulatanes 4, 6, 7, 11a, 11b, and 12, where two meta-coupled aromatic resonances were observed), and together with the 13C NMR chemical shift values of the aromatic carbons measured indirectly from HMBC experiments, this showed hydroxylation of the serrulatane core at C-7 and C-8. After establishing the necessary correlations using NOESY and HMBC experiments (Figure 6), 16 was identified as 3,7,8-trihydroxy-16-oxoserrulat-14-en-19-oic acid and 18 as 3,7,8-trihydroxyserrulat-14-en-19-oic acid. Compound 16 and 18 are new compounds, and 1H and 13C resonances are shown in Table 2. On the basis of HRMS data, peak 17 was assigned the molecular formula C21H28O7, but the amount of material did not allow structural elucidation. Preparative-scale isolation afforded material for determination of IC50 values toward PTP1B for 12, 20, 25, and 27. IC50 curves are shown in Figure S55 (Supporting Information) and resulted in the following IC50 values: 12: 6.27 ± 1.31 μM, 20: 1260 ± 561 μM, 25: 7.67 ± 1.22 μM, and 27: 3.44 ± 0.88 μM. In comparison, the IC50 value of the reference compound RK682 was 4.4 ± 0.3 μM. This shows that especially 12, 25, and 27, all serrulatanes substituted at C-16, are potent PTP1B inhibitors. With IC50 values in the low μM range, their potency is comparable with the triterpenoids rhododendric acid A (6.3 μM) and 23-hydroxyursolic acid (7.4 μM) isolated from Rhododendrum brachycarpum,39 the sesquiterpenoid dysideavillosa element C (1.5 μM) isolated from Dysidea villosa,40 the diterpenoids lobophytumin E (5.9 μM) and lobophytumin C (7.8 μM) isolated from Lobophytum cristatum,41 the diterpenoid cyclonoside A (5.5 μM) isolated from Cyclocarya paliurus,42 and the benzonaphtoxanthenones ohioensin A, C, F, and G (3.5− 7.6 μM) isolated from Polytrichastrum alpinum.43 In conclusion, the use of high-resolution α-glucosidase and high-resolution PTP1B inhibition profiling combined with HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR resulted in identification of potential antidiabetic metabolites from three Eremophila species. A total of 21 compounds, including 12 new serrulatanes, were identified from the three species. Serrulatanes are the most common diterpenoids isolated from Eremophila species, and several studies have reported their potential antibacterial activity.27 However, the current work represents the first report of serrulatanes as α-glucosidase and PTP1B inhibitors. These molecules may serve as new molecular templates for further development of potent α-glucosidase and PTP1B inhibitors, based on either chemical synthesis of structurally simpler functional analogues or using combinatorial biochemistry.20

concentrations 0.5 mM pNPP and 2 mM DTT). After preincubation at 25 °C for 10 min, the reaction was started by adding 50 μL of 0.001 μg/μL PTP1B stock solution (final well concentration: 0.05 μg/well). The amount of p-nitrophenol produced was determined by measuring the absorbance at 405 nm every 30 s for 10 min to yield enzyme activity (cleavage rate) as ΔAU/s. Preincubation, incubation, and absorbance measurements were performed with a Multiscan FC microplate photometer with built-in incubator (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) coupled to SkanIt version 2.5.1 software for data acquisition. Inhibition of PTP1B activity was plotted against chromatographic retention time to give PTP1B high-resolution biochromatograms. The inhibition of PTP1B was calculated using the below equation:

Sciences, Inc., (NY, U.S.A.). All solvents used were HPLC grade, and water was purified by deionization and 0.22-μm membrane filtration (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Plant Material and Extraction. Leaves of E. gibossa Chinnock, E. glabra (R.Br.) Ostenf., and E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” were collected from plants growing in a greenhouse at the University of Copenhagen (Frederiksberg, Denmark) under ambient photoperiod and day/night temperatures of 24/17 °C. E. glabra and E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” plants were established from bare-rooted specimens purchased from a nursery in Melbourne, Australia. The specimens of E. gibossa were established from cuttings taken from plants growing in South Australia and were provided by Professor Hans Griesser (University of South Australia). Voucher specimens with accession numbers UCPH-PLEN-AH1 (E. gibossa), UCPHPLEN-AH2 (E. glabra), and UCPH-PLEN-AH3 (E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie”) are deposited at Herbarium C, National History Museum, University of Copenhagen. Approximately 15 g of leaves were collected from each species, immediately frozen in liquid N2, and ground to a fine powder with a mortar and pestle. The homogenized tissue was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 150 mL) at room temperature for 1 h with periodic shaking. The extracts were combined, passed through a paper filter, and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation (90 mbar, 45 °C). Determination of Inhibitory Concentrations. Dilution series of the crude extracts and the isolated compounds were dissolved in MeOH. Thereafter, 180 μL aliquots of each concentration in the dilution series were added to 96-well microplates in triplicate, and after evaporation, the PTP1B assay was performed by the method described below. Dose−response curves and IC50 values were obtained using GraphPad prism, version 6.00.283 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA). High-Resolution α-Glucosidase and PTP1B Inhibition Assays. HPLC separation of crude E. glabra, E. gibossa, and E. aff. Drummondii “Kalgoorlie” extracts for the high-resolution PTP1B biochromatograms were performed with an Agilent 1200 system (Santa Clara, CA) consisting of a G1311A quaternary pump, a G1322A degasser, a G1316A thermostated column compartment, a G1315C photodiode-array detector, a G1367C high-performance auto sampler, and a G1364C fraction collector, all controlled by Agilent ChemStation version B.03.02 software. Analyses were performed at 40 °C on a 150 × 4.6 mm i.d. Phenomenex Luna C18(2) reversed-phase column (3 μm particle size, 100 Å pore size) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. HPLC solvent A consisted of H2O-MeCN 95:5 with 0.1% formic acid and solvent B consisted of MeCN-H2O 95:5 with 0.1% formic acid. A single injection of 5 μL crude extract of E. gibossa (corresponding to 290 μg crude extract) was separated using the following gradient elution profile: 0 min, 30% B; 50 min, 100% B; 60 min, 100% B; 61 min, 30%. A single injection of 6 μL of crude extract of E. glabra (corresponding to 120 μg of crude extract) was separated using the following gradient elution profile: 0 min, 10% B; 10 min, 20% B; 25 min, 85% B; 35 min, 100% B; 45 min, 100% B; 46 min, 10% B. A single injection of 4 μL of crude extract of E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” (corresponding to 240 μg of crude extract) was separated using the following gradient elution profile: 0 min, 35% B; 25 min, 65% B; 27 min, 85% B; 38 min, 100% B; 45 min, 100% B; 46 min, 35% B. The eluate from 10 to 45 min for each HPLC run was fractionated into two 96-well microplates (omitting the 8 wells in the last column of each well for blank controls), leading to a resolution of 5.0 data points per min. The content in the microplates were subsequently evaporated using a SPD121P Savant SpeedVac concentrator (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) equipped with an OFP400 oil Free Pump and a RVT400 Refrigerated Vapor Trap. After evaporation, the PTP1B and α-glucosidase assay were performed on the collected material. The PTP1B inhibition assay was performed at 25 °C using a twocomponent buffer, consisting of 50 mM Tris and 50 mM bis-Tris containing 100 mM NaCl adjusted to pH 7.0 with citric acid, using a final reaction volume of 180 μL. Residues in each well were dissolved in DMSO (18 μL) followed by addition of 52 μL of buffer containing 3.46 mM EDTA (final well concentrations 10% DMSO and 1 mM EDTA), and 60 μL of 1.5 mM pNPP and 6 mM DTT (final well

Residues in each well were dissolved in 50 μL 25% DMSO prior to addition of 100 μL 1.0 U/mL α-glucosidase solution (final well concentrations 6.25% DMSO and 0.25 U/mL α-glucosidase). After preincubation at 25 °C for 10 min, the reaction was started by adding 50 μL of 5 mM pNPG (final well concentration 1.25 mM pNPG). The p-nitrophenol concentration was determined by measuring the absorbance at 405 nm every 30 s for 10 min to yield enzyme activity (cleavage rate) as ΔAU/s. Inhibition of α-glucosidase activity was plotted against chromatographic retention time to give α-glucosidase high-resolution biochromatograms. The inhibition of α-glucosidase was calculated using the below equation:

The Agilent 1260 system consisted of a degasser, a quaternary pump, an autosampler, a column oven, and a diode array detectorall operated with similar chromatographic conditions (column, solvent composition, temperature, flow rate, and elution profile) as described above. The column eluate was connected to a Tpiece splitter directing 1% of the flow to the mass spectrometer and 99% of the flow to SPE trapping after postcolumn dilution with 1 mL/ min flow of H2O delivered with the Knauer pump. The micrOTOF-Q II mass spectrometer, equipped with an ESI source, was operated in positive-ion mode using drying temperature of 200 °C, capillary voltage of 4100 V, nebulizer pressure of 2.0 bar, and drying gas flow of 7 L/min. A solution of sodium formate clusters was automatically injected in the beginning of each run to enable internal mass calibration. For each of the three plants, peaks were trapped cumulatively on 10 × 2 mm i.d. Resin GP (general purpose, 5−15 μm, spherical shape, polydivinyl-benzene phase) SPE cartridges from Spark Holland (Emmen, The Netherlands) after 10 identical separations using UV absorption-thresholds to trigger trapping. The SPE cartridges were conditioned with 1000 μL MeOH (at 6 mL/min) and equilibrated with 500 μL H2O (at 1 mL/min) prior to trapping. The loaded SPE cartridges were dried with pressurized N2 gas for 45 min each and subsequently eluted with CD3OD into 1.7 mm NMR tubes with a Gilson 215 liquid handler equipped with a 1 mm needle. Chromatographic separation, mass spectrometry, and analyte trapping on SPE cartridges were controlled using Hystar ver. 3.2 software (Bruker Daltonik, Bremen, Germany), whereas the elution process was mediated by Prep Gilson ST ver. 1.2 software (Bruker Biospin, Karlsruhe, Germany).

Preparative-Scale Isolation and Purification. Solutions of E. gibossa (232 mg/mL), E. glabra (108 mg/mL), and E. aff. drummondii “Kalgoorlie” (244 mg/mL) were prepared in MeOH. Injection volumes of 0.9 mL for all three species were used for preparativescale isolation on an Agilent 1100 HPLC system equipped with two preparative-scale solvent delivery pumps, a multiple wavelength detector, and an autosampler. All separations were performed using a 250 mm × 21.2 mm i.d. Phenomenex Luna C18 (5 μm) column operated at room temperature. A gradient elution (similar to the one used for high-resolution screening) was used, and targeted peaks were collected manually. The collected peaks were concentrated under reduced pressure and lyophilized to afford samples for NMR analysis and IC50 value determination. NMR Experiments. The NMR experiments were recorded at 300 K either in methanol-d4 (for material analyzed in the HPLC-HRMSSPE-NMR mode) or in CDCl3 (for material isolated on preparative scale). NMR experiments were acquired using either a Bruker Avance III 600 MHz NMR spectrometer (1H operating frequency 600.13 MHz) equipped with a Bruker SampleJet sample changer and a cryogenically cooled gradient inverse triple-resonance 1.7 mm TCI probe-head (Bruker Biospin, Rheinstetten, Germany) or a 600 MHz Bruker Avance III HD spectrometer equipped with a cryogenically cooled 5 mm DCH probe optimized for 13C and 1H. All NMR experiments were acquired in automation (temperature equilibration to 300 K, optimization of lock parameters, gradient shimming, and setting of receiver gain). One-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectra were acquired with 30°-pulses and 64k data points. Two dimensional homo- and heteronuclear experiments were acquired with 2048 data points in the direct dimension and 128 (HMBC) or 512 (DQFCOSY) or 256 (multiplicity edited HSQC and phase sensitive NOESY) data points in the indirect dimension, with spectral widths optimized from the corresponding 1H NMR spectra. The HMBC and HSQC experiments were optimized for nJH,C = 8 Hz and 1JH,C = 145 Hz, respectively.
