Abstract

Seventeen Flavonoids (1-17) were isolated from Sophora alopecuroides L.. Compounds 1 and 2 were new compounds, and compounds 5, 8, 11, 12, and 17 were isolated from S. alopecuroides for the first time. The sources of compounds 1 and 2 were determined from the seeds of S. alopecuroides by UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS, and compounds 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 were proven to improve the Insulin resistance of C2C12 myotubes and significantly increase glucose consumption levels. Among them, compounds 1, 2, 13, 14, 16, and 17 could bind to protein tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), thereby significantly inhibiting the Enzyme activity of PTP1B. Compound 2 had the strongest inhibitory effect, with an inhibition rate of 95.22% at 0.1 μg mL-1.
