Abstract
Investigation of phytochemicals from Magnolia obovata fruit led to the isolation of three novel phenylpropanoid glycosides: obovatoside A-C (1-3) and two known phenylpropanoids, syringin (4) and pavonisol (5). The structures of 1-5 were determined by NMR, HRMS, IR and CD spectroscopic analyses. All compounds were evaluated for their effects on recovery from alloxan-induced pancreatic islet damage in zebrafish. All compounds increased the size of the injured pancreatic islet from 0.60- to 1.14-fold. Compounds 1 and 3-5 significantly increased glucose absorption in zebrafish.
