The ethyl ether extract of agarwood from an Aquilaria plant afforded six new sesquiterpenoids, Agarozizanol A - F (1-6), together with four known sesquiterpenoids and six known 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones. Their structures were elucidated via detailed spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction, and comparisons with the published data. All the isolates were evaluated for the alpha-glucosidase and tyrosinase inhibitory activities in vitro. Compounds 5, 7, 8, and 10 showed significant inhibition of alpha-glucosidase with IC50 values ranging between 112.3 +/- 4.5 and 524.5 +/- 2.7 mu M (acarbose, 743. 4 +/- 3.3 mu M). Compounds 13 and 14 exhibited tyrosinase inhibitory effect with IC50 values of 89.0 +/- 1.7 and 51.5 +/- 0.6 mu M, respectively (kojic acid, 46.1 +/- 1.3). In the kinetic studies, compounds 5 and 14 were found to be uncompetitive inhibitors for alpha-glucosidase and mixed type inhibitors for tyrosinase, respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking simulations revealed the binding sites and interactions of the most active compounds with alpha-glucosidase and tyrosinase.
