1. Introduction
Tectona grandis has been widely used in traditional Dai medicine. It mainly grows in tropical and subtropical southwestern China, India, Laos and northern Thailand. It is a large deciduous tree, measuring up to 40–50 m, with a deeply fluted trunk that can reach 2–2.5 m in diameter and a brown or gray bark [1]. Previous phytochemical research reported that T. grandis was not only rich in flavonoids and quinones, but also contained phenolic, steroids, phenylpropanoids, fatty esters and other compounds [2]. In ethnomedicine, T. grandis is commonly used to treat wounds, pain, fever, malaria, inflammation, diabetes, liver disease, helminthic infection, bronchitis, tumors, cholelithiasis, jaundice, skin disease and bacterial infection [3,4,5,6,7]. Pharmacological studies conducted on the methanolic extracts of T. grandis bark and flowers established its hypoglycemic activities [8,9]. The leaf extract of T. grandis has significant wound healing activity [10]. Hydrochloric acid extract of T. grandis leaves exhibited antitumor activity in the female Swiss mouse malaria model, thereby validating its traditional use in the treatment of tumors [11]. Traditional use of T. grandis as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine was validated by a study conducted by Bitchagno [12], who reported that the ethanolic extract from the fruit of T. grandis exhibited a remarkable inhibitory effect on four Gram-negative bacteria, and the methanolic extract of T. grandis woods demonstrated significant analgesic activity and inhibited edema action in writhing test and paw edema test rats [13]. In summary, T. grandis has a wide range of pharmacological properties. However, the previous modern pharmacological research on T. grandis mainly focused on antibacterial and analgesic aspects [14,15]; the components of antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetes effects of T. grandis have not yet been studied in detail. It is worthwhile to explore the therapeutic material basis and effects of T. grandis in treating oxidative stress and related diseases, such as inflammation and diabetes.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have important roles in a wide range of physiological processes; however, oxidative stress and the resultant oxidative damage have been implicated in many human diseases, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, diabetes and cancer and also in the aging process [16,17,18]. Extensive or prolonged exposure to ROS results in oxidative stress, which is a deleterious process that damages lipids, proteins and DNA in the cell. Excessive ROS can cause damage to cell structure and function and induce somatic cell mutation and tumor transformation [19]. It is noteworthy that excessive ROS produced during oxidative metabolism can induce inflammatory processes leading to the production of many inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 [20], which can lead to a variety of chronic diseases. As such, antioxidants play an important role in anti-inflammation and protection against oxidative damage to proteins and DNA. Meanwhile, oxidative stress and inflammation play a key role in the development of diabetes and its complications [21,22]. When excessive amounts of ROS are produced in the body, the internal oxidation and antioxidant effects will be out of balance, and lead to oxidative stress and ultimately damage the macromolecules involved in insulin release [23]. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), globally, the number of cases of diabetes are predicted to increase from 537 million in 2021 to 643 million by 2030 [24]. α-Glucosidase is an important catalytic enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract, which enables monosaccharides to be absorbed into the blood, thus reducing postprandial glucose fluctuations in diabetic patients. It has been confirmed that α-glucosidase inhibitors possessing delayed α-glucose uptake can reduce postprandial blood glucose levels [25]. In view of this, one of the therapeutic strategies used to manage diabetes focuses on the inhibition of α-glucosidase.
Herein, we reported the isolation and structure identification of compounds 1–26 from T. grandis, together with the exploration of their potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, α-glucosidase inhibition and glucose uptake activities. Firstly, DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods were used to detect and analyze the antioxidant activities and the protective effects against oxidative damage to DNA and protein. Secondly, different types of compounds were screened for the inhibitory effects of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 inflammatory factors. Finally, glucose uptake assays and α-glucosidase inhibition experiments were used to explore its anti-diabetes effect. The potent antioxidant capacities of compounds 15 and 23 suggested that they might be potential natural candidate drugs to inhibit oxidative stress and prevent DNA and protein oxidative damage.

3.2. Antioxidant Activity Assays
Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the imbalance between oxidation and antioxidation in the body. Studies have found that oxidative stress is related to a variety of diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and metabolic disorders [56]. Therefore, the ME, PEE, EAE, NBE, WE and isolated compounds 1–23 of T. grandis were evaluated for their antioxidant activities according to DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays and the half maximal scavenging concentration (SC50). As shown in Table 1, the ME had antioxidant activity. This result supported the benefits of using T. grandis in herbs and food. The NBE showed significant antioxidant activity, and the EAE showed moderate antioxidant activity. The PEE showed weak antioxidant activity. The WE exhibited no significant antioxidant activity. Furthermore, in the DPPH test, we found that methanolic extract and different fractions were capable of scavenging DPPH free radicals in a concentration-dependent manner (Figure 2). The results showed that the DPPH free radical scavenging ability was ME > NBE > EAE > PEE > WE (Figure 2), and the scavenging capacity of DPPH was related to the accumulative effect of each extract. The results suggested that the main antioxidant compounds of T. grandis might present in the NBE and EAE.
The scavenging capacities of compounds 1–23 are shown in Table 2. Compounds 13, 15, 21 and 23 exhibited significant DPPH antioxidant activities (SC50 = 0.32–3.56 µmol/L), compounds 2, 5–8, 15, 17, 19 and 23 exhibited significant ABTS antioxidant activities (SC50 = 0.8–1.1 mmol Trolox/L) and compounds 5, 15 and 23 exhibited significant FRAP antioxidant activities (SC50 = 1.02–1.22 mmol Trolox/L). These results indicated that compounds 15 and 23 had a potent free radical scavenging ability and ferric reducing power, which might be developed into effective natural antioxidants. In addition, compared with quinones (9–10, 12–14, 22), flavonoids (2, 5–8) and phenolic acids (15, 17, 19, 23) exhibited stronger ABTS and FRAP scavenging activities. The antioxidant capacities of flavonoids might be related to the degree of methylation. Methylation has been documented to enhance the entry of flavonoids into cells and to prevent degradation, and this might help to enhance antioxidant capacities [57]. Compounds 15 and 23 in T. grandis had significant antioxidant capacities, which was consistent with the significant antioxidant capacities of phenolic acids reported in the literature [58]. Interestingly, the potent antioxidant properties of the NBE and EAE might be due to their flavonoid and phenolic ingredients [59], which reminded us that we should pay more attention to the antioxidant activities of polyphenols and flavonoids in T. grandis.
3.3. Prevention of AAPH-Induced DNA Oxidative Damage Assay
As the most important genetic material in human beings, oxidative damage of DNA can accelerate cell aging and apoptosis, leading to neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, cancer and other diseases [60,61]. Studies have confirmed that the level of DNA oxidation products in the brain tissues of Alzheimer's patients is significantly increased [62]. DNA is a target for excess oxidative stress, which attacks the bases and sugar moieties, creating strand breaks, altered gene expression and, ultimately, mutagenesis [63]. As shown in Figure 3, when AAPH was added to the model control group, only open circular form (ocDNA) and linear form (linDNA) occurred, resulting in the cleavage of supercoiled circular DNA (scDNA) to ocDNA and linDNA, which indicated that AAPH successfully induced DNA oxidative damage at 20 mM. DNA derived from pBR322 plasmid showed two bands on agarose gel electrophoresis. The faster moving band corresponded to the native form of scDNA and the slower moving band was the ocDNA. The addition of samples to the reaction mixture of AAPH suppressed the formation of linDNA and induced a partial recovery of scDNA.
In this study, Figure 3 shows the electrophoretic pattern of the DNA oxidative damage protection effect induced by AAPH (20 mM) from methanolic extract, different fractions and compounds 15, 19 and 23 of T. grandis. Compared with the positive control vitamin C, the EAE showed a remarkable protective effect against DNA oxidative damage induced by AAPH. The EAE showed a protective effect at 12.5 μg/mL (p < 0.0001) and the NBE showed a protective effect at 25.0 μg/mL (p < 0.0001). The ME and PEE began to be protective at 50.0 μg/mL (p < 0.0001). The results showed that the protective ability against DNA oxidative damage was EAE > NBE > ME > PEE > WE. Compounds 15, 19 and 23 showed obvious protective effects against oxidative damage. Compounds 15 and 23 began to have protective effects at 0.6 mM (p < 0.0001) and compound 19 began to have a protective effect at 5.0 mM (p < 0.0001), which suggests that compounds 15, 19 and 23 could be developed into effective natural antioxidants. In addition, it is worth noting that the EAE, NBE and compounds 15, 19 and 23 with significant antioxidant capacities showed significant protective activities against oxidative damage of DNA induced by AAPH, which suggests that the protective effect against DNA oxidative damage might be related to the antioxidant capacities.
3.4. Prevention of AAPH-Induced Protein Oxidative Damage Assay
The literature reports that AAPH is a free radical generator that can generate alkoxy and alkylperoxy radicals, thereby inducing oxidative damage to macromolecules [64]. Protein degradation and the formation of protein carbonyl groups are the main characteristics of protein oxidation [65,66]. Studies have found that many diseases, such as Alzheimer′s disease, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, are associated with increased protein carbonylation levels [67]. As shown in Figure 4, compared with the control group without AAPH, BSA was induced by AAPH, the BSA bands were noticeably shallower and the carbonylation level of BSA was increased, indicating that hydroxyl free radicals produced by the AAPH induced system can significantly degrade and carbonize BSA. In this experiment, the content of residual protein was used to reflect the abilities of samples to prevent protein oxidative damage.
The results showed that when the concentration of AAPH was 160 mM, the content of residual protein increased with the increase of the sample concentration. As shown in Figure 4d,e, compared with the positive control group (VC), the EAE and NBE showed significant protective effects against protein oxidative damage at 63 μg/mL. In an increased sample concentration, the protective effect became more significant; the EAE and NBE at 1000 μg/mL almost completely inhibited the oxidative damage of BSA induced by AAPH (p < 0.0001), the ME and PEE began to show protective effects against protein oxidative damage at 500 μg/mL (p < 0.0001) and the WE began to show protective effects against protein oxidative damage at 1000 μg/mL (p < 0.0001). The results showed that the protective ability against protein oxidative damage was EAE > NBE > ME > PEE > WE, and this might be related to their better antioxidant capacities. As shown in Figure 4g,h, compounds 15 and 23 have significant protective effects against protein oxidative damage induced by AAPH (160 mM) in a concentration-dependent manner. Compound 15 began to show a protective effect against protein oxidative damage at 40 μM, and compound 23 began to show a protective effect against protein oxidative damage at 320 μM. The results showed that compounds 15 and 23 might be natural antioxidants, which could inhibit the oxidative damage of protein by free radicals.
3.5. Anti-Inflammatory Activity Assay
LPS is widely used as a stimulator to activate macrophages, inducing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators from macrophages, in particular TNF-α, interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6), NO and ROS [68]. It is involved in various pathological processes of acute and chronic inflammation. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in macrophage culture supernatants were measured using an ELISA kit, and then the anti-inflammatory effects of compounds 1, 12, 13, 15, 18 and 23 on LPS-stimulated macrophages were studied. Compared with blank control cells, pro-inflammatory cytokines were increased in the model and positive groups (Dexamethasone) stimulated by LPS (Figure 5). As seen in Figure 6a, compounds 1, 18 and 23 could decrease TNF-α inflammatory factors levels at 40 µM when compared to the model controls (p < 0.01). Meanwhile, in Figure 6b, compounds 1, 13, 18 and 23 produced a significant decrease in IL-1β inflammatory factors levels at 40 µM (p < 0.0001). As shown in Figure 6c, compounds 1, 13 and 18 showed significant activities in reducing the expression of IL-6 inflammatory factors at 40 µM (p < 0.05). The anti-inflammatory activity of compound 1 might be related to the fact that the flavonoid was connected by two benzene rings (A and B) through an oxygen-containing heterocycle (C), and with the glycosylation mode on the A ring [69]. Compound 13 has significant anti-inflammatory activity, which was consistent with the literature [4]. The activity of compound 18 might be related to its structure, which is composed of six isoprene and one pentacyclic [70]. The activity of compound 23 might be related to the phenolic hydroxyl groups contained in the structure [71]. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1, 13, 18 and 23 on the expression of inflammatory cytokines develop the therapeutic material basis of T. grandis in the treatment of inflammation in traditional medicine.
3.6. α-Glucosidase Inhibition Assay
In order to search for active compounds with α-glucosidase inhibition, T. grandis methanolic extract and different fractions at concentrations of 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 and 1.5625 μg/mL were incubated in 96-well plates for 30 min, and then the α-glucosidase inhibition rate was examined. The results are shown in Figure 7b–e. Compared to the positive control acarbose (Figure 7a), the ME and PEE showed the most potent α-glucosidase inhibition activities with IC50 values of 3.05 ± 0.18 µg/mL and 1.92 ± 0.06 µg/mL, respectively. The EAE and NBE showed moderate α-glucosidase inhibition activities with IC50 values of 7.84 ± 0.49 µg/mL and 8.90 ± 0.79 µg/mL, respectively. The results indicated that most α-glucosidase inhibitory substances might be small polar compounds present in the PEE and EAE. Compounds 1–23 were screened for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and the results are shown in Table 3. The inhibitory rates of compounds 4, 5 and 7 on α-glucosidase were 68.54%, 69.67% and 85.13%, respectively, whereas compounds 1–3, 6 and 8–23 exhibited no significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, with IC50 values greater than 50 µM. Next, the IC50 values for compounds 4, 5 and 7 were measured, and the results are shown in Figure 7f–h. Compound 7 showed the most potent α-glucosidase inhibition activity, with an IC50 value of 3.04 ± 0.08 µmol/L. Compounds 4 and 5 showed moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 14.16 ± 0.34 µmol/L and 19.29 ± 0.26 µmol/L, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 4, 5 and 7 had significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, which might be due to the nucleus of 2-phenylchromone, and the double bond between C2 and C3 in the C ring [72]. Therefore, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of compounds 4, 5 and 7 suggested that flavonoids might have better α-glucosidase inhibitory activities than the other compounds in T. grandis. Our study further provides scientific evidence for the efficacy of T. grandis as a herbal medicine in the treatment of diabetes.
3.7. α-Glucosidase Enzyme Kinetic Assay
Lineweaver–Burk plotting was used to evaluate the inhibition type of the methanolic extract, fractions and compounds 5 and 7 partitioned from T. grandis on α-glucosidase. The concentrations of 1/[pNPG] are displayed on the X-axis, and the 1/v values obtained from the Lineweaver–Burk plot are shown along the Y-axis. As shown in Figure 8a–d, all data lines of the ME, PEE, EAE, and NBE on the Lineweaver–Burk plot intersected at a point in the second and third quadrant; with the increasing of inhibitor concentrations, the kinetic parameters of Vmax were decreased, and the kinetic parameters of Km were unchanged. Therefore, all inhibitory effects of samples on the α-glucosidase enzyme belonged to the mix inhibition type [73], which suggested that the inhibitors presented in samples ME, PEE, EAE, and NBE might be bound to the enzyme–substrate complex to inhibit α-glucosidase. Figure 8e,f show the α-glucosidase inhibitory Lineweaver–Burk double count down diagrams for compounds 5 and 7. All the data lines of compounds 5 and 7 on the Lineweaver–Burk plot intersected in the second quadrant, with the increasing of inhibitor concentrations, the Vmax of the enzymatic reaction decreased, and the Km values were unchanged, indicating that compounds 5 and 7 were an uncompetitive type of α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition [74]. It is possible to find out the enzyme inhibition effects of the active ingredients through further study of the enzyme reaction, especially of the chemical components which showed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activities in the preliminary screening, so as to provide a valuable active lead for the study of hypoglycemia using T. grandis.
3.8. Glucose Uptake Activity and Cell Viability Assay
To examine the glucose uptake activities of methanolic extract, different fractions and the isolated compounds 1–23 of T. grandis, glucose uptake capacities were evaluated by 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Firstly, the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes (Figure 9). Next, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 μg/mL concentrations of methanolic extract and different fractions were added respectively. After 24 h, the glucose uptake was examined. As shown in Figure 10A, compared with the blank control group, the sample groups of ME, PEE and EAE significantly promoted the glucose uptake rate of 3T3-L1 adipocytes (p < 0.0001) and the NBE group significantly inhibited the glucose uptake of 3T3-L1 adipocytes (p > 0.0001). The results showed that the main hypoglycemic effect of T. grandis might be achieved by improving glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In addition, the results of the cell viability assay showed that the MEE, PEE, EAE and NBE had no significant effects on the cell viabilities of 3T3-L1 adipocytes (Figure 10B).
The effects of compounds 1–23 on glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes were as follows: As shown in Figure 11A(a,b), the results showed that the glucose uptake rate at 40 μM was positively correlated with time, and the glucose uptake rate at 48 h was higher than that at 24 h. As shown in Figure 11A(b), compounds 21 and 23 could significantly promote the glucose uptake of 3T3-L1 adipocytes at 40 µM (p < 0.01), and the other tested compounds 1–20 and 22 showed no significant promotion effects (p > 0.05). Additionally, compared with the blank control, except for compounds 5 and 9, the positive control group, and all the other tested compounds had no significant effects on the cell viabilities of 3T3-L1 adipocytes (Figure 11B).
4. Conclusions
In summary, 26 compounds were isolated from T. grandis (EAE, NBE), including nine flavonoids (1–8, 11), six anthraquinones (9, 10, 12–14, 22), one alkaloid (16), two pentacyclic triterpenoids (18, 24), four phenylpropanoids (15, 17, 19, 20), one sesquiterpene (21), phenolic acid (23) and two sterols (25, 26). Studies of the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities of T. grandis methanolic extract, fractions and compounds 1–23 showed that the EAE, NBE fractions, and compounds verbascoside (15), gallic acid (23) had remarkable antioxidant activities. Furthermore, compounds verbascoside (15) and gallic acid (23) showed significantly higher antioxidant activities than the positive control ascorbic acid. Additionally, verbascoside (15) and gallic acid (23) showed significant protective effects against the oxidative damage of DNA and protein (p < 0.001). Simultaneously, the results of inflammatory factor detection showed that luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (1), 2β,3β,19α,23-tetrahydroxy-urs-12-en-28-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl (1-2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl] ester (18) and gallic acid (23) could degrade the expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), and 2β,3β,19α,23-tetrahydroxy-urs-12-en-28-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl (1-2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl] ester (18) and gallic acid (23) were similar to the positive control Dex inhibitory effects on TNF-α and IL-1β, which showed significant inhibitory effects on inflammatory cytokines (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, ME, PEE fractions, and compounds apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucuronide methyl ester (4), vitegnoside (5) and rhamnetin (7) had significant α-glucosidase inhibition capacities. The enzyme kinetic experiments showed that the inhibitory effects of T. grandis methanolic extract, fractions, and compounds vitegnoside (5), rhamnetin (7) on α-glucosidase belonged to mixed and uncompetitive inhibition types. In addition, PEE and EAE significantly promoted the glucose uptake. Our study suggested that the flavonoid and polyphenolic compounds in T. grandis might be the major contributors to antioxidant, antiinflammation and α-glucosidase inhibition activities. In conclusion, our study enriched the diversity of the chemical composition of T. grandis, and provided potential natural candidate drugs to inhibit oxidative stress and related diseases, especially inflammation and diabetes.
