Abstract

Cucurbitane derivative has been isolated from methanol extract of the leaves of bitter melon (Momordica charantia). Purification of methanol extract using vacuum column chromatography method using n-hexane: ethyl acetate as the mobile phase was obtained a white powder isolate. This isolate was elucidated to obtain chemical structures based on spectroscopic data (FT-NMR, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS) and resulted a cucurbitane derivate, namely momordicine I. The MeOH extract and the isolate were evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory effect. Both MeOH extract and momordicine I showed moderate activities with %inhibition 27.34% and 15.79 % at 100 µg/mL repectively.
