Actinidia arguta leaves are consumed as a popular food material in Korea and have been reported to exert beneficial effects on humans due to its constituent polyphenolic compounds. In this study, the ¥�-glucosidase inhibitory compounds in A. arguta were screened and identified through ¥�-glucosidase-guided fractionation and metabolomic analysis. The 50% ethanol extracts of A. arguta showed strong inhibitory effect (32.6%), which was comparable to acarbose as a positive control (30.0%). Through multiple steps of fractionation, pinoresinol diglucoside and fertaric acid were identified as the major potent compounds in A. arguta inhibiting ¥�-glucosidase activity by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis and metabolomic comparison. Particularly, because pinoresinol and its glycosides have been demonstrated as ¥�-glucosidase inhibitory agents, pinoresinol diglucoside was proposed to be a putative key compound for ¥�-glucosidase inhibition in A. arguta. This is the first study demonstrating the anti-diabetic effect of a pinoresinol-containing fraction of A. arguta and would be useful for its application as a natural ¥�-glucosidase inhibitor.
