Abstract
Forsythoside E is one secondary metabolite ofForsythia suspensa(Thunb.) Vahl. In the study, the interactions between forsythoside E and two types of cholinesterases, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase were investigated in the different conditions. Forsythoside E increased the fluorescence intensity of acetylcholinesterase but quenched the fluorescence of butyrylcholinesterase. Aβ25-35used in the study may not form complexes with cholinesterases, and did not affect the interaction between forsythoside E and cholinesterases. The charged quaternary group of AsCh interacted with the 'anionic' subsite in acetylcholinesterase, which did not affect the interaction between forsythoside E and acetylcholinesterase. The enhancement rate of forsythoside E to acetylcholinesterase fluorescence from high to low was acid solution (pH 6.4), neutral solution (pH 7.4) and alkaline solution (pH 8.0), while the reduction rate of forsythoside E to butyrylcholinesterase fluorescence was in reverse order. Metal ions may interact with cholinesterases, and increased the effects of forsythoside E to cholinesterases fluorescence, in order that Fe3+was the highest, followed by Cu2+, and Mg2+. A forsythoside E-butyrylcholinesterase complex at stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 was spontaneously formed, and the static quenching was the main quenching mode in the process of forsythoside E binding with butyrylcholinesterase. TheKvalues of two complexes were pretty much the same, suggesting that the interaction between cholinesterases and forsythoside E was almost unaffected by acid-base environment and metal ions. Thennumbers of two cholinesterases approximately equaled to one, indicating that there was only one site on each cholinesterase applicable for forsythoside E to bind to.

Abstract
A promising and efficacious approach to manage diabetes is inhibiting α-glucosidase and α-amylase activity. Therefore, the inhibitory activities of five natural sweeteners (mogrosides (Mog), stevioside (Ste), glycyrrhizinic acid (GA), crude trilobatin (CT), and crude rubusoside (CR)) against α-glucosidase and α-amylase and their interactions were evaluated in vitro using enzyme kinetics, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and molecular docking. The inhibitor sequence was CT > GA > Ste, as GA competitively inhibited α-glycosidase activity while CT and Ste exhibited mixed inhibitory effects. Compared to a positive control acarbose, the inhibitory activity of CT was higher. For α-amylase, the mixed inhibitors CT, CR, and Mog and the competitive inhibitor Ste effectively inhibited the enzyme, with the following order: CT > CR > Ste > Mog; nevertheless, the inhibitors were slightly inferior to acarbose. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectra depicted that GA, CT, and CR bound to the hydrophobic cavity of α-glucosidase or α-amylase and changed the polarity of the hydrophobic amino acid-based microenvironment and structure of the polypeptide chain backbone. Infrared spectroscopy revealed that GA, CT, and CR could disrupt the secondary structure of α-glucosidase or α-amylase, which decreased enzyme activity. GA, trilobatin and rubusoside bound to amino acid residues through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, changing the conformation of enzyme molecules to decrease the enzymatic activity. Thus, CT, CR and GA exhibit promising inhibitory effects against α-glucosidase and α-amylase.
