Abstract

Abstract: We investigated the inhibitory effects of several plant extracts on advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation. Among tested samples, the flower extract of Magnolia coco showed significant inhibition of AGE formation. We isolated and characterized procyanidin oligomer and four other compounds from the flowers, and evaluated their inhibitory effects on AGE formation and the AGE-derived crosslink-cleaving activity of the isolated compounds.
