Vietnam has an area of about 330000 km2, stretching 1650 km through 15 latitudes, has tropical climate with two hot and humid seasons, relatively high humidity (over 80%), abundant annual rainfall (middle 1200-2800 mm) With such natural environment, a diverse and abundant flora in species has been, green around year, and has many uses to serve human life such as food, making processing interior and exterior decorations, landscaping, medicine, According to statistics, Vietnam's vascular plants has more than 10,000 species, of which about 3,200 species of plants are used in traditional medicine to make medicine The Dalbergia genus (Fabaceae) contains more than 300 recognised species that are widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions The wood of many species of Dalbergia is commonly called ‘rosewood’ due to its dark red colour and beautiful grain, and has been used for hundreds of years for high quality furniture and musical instruments The Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain species (commonly called ‘Sua Do’ due to the heartwood of perennial plant is red-brown to red-black), is is a precious timber species with high economic value It has been listed in Vietnam’s Red Book (2007), in IUCN Red List Categories (2015) as Vulnerable (VU), and in Government Decree No 32/2006 / ND-CP under group IA Phytochemical studies of the genus Dalbergia have indicated that its chemical constituents are various flavonoids (including flavones, isoflavones, neoflavones, flavanones, isoflavanones, flavanes, isoflavanes, neoflavans, flavonols, flavanonols, and isoflavanonols), 4-aryl-coumarins, phenols, sesquiterpenes, phytosterols, as well as coumestan and coumaronochromone derivatives Dalbergia species were previously found to possess a wide spectrum of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antidiarrheal, anti-cancer, spermicidal, antiinflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and cardiovascular activity The heartwood of Dalbergia species are used in traditional Chinese medicines for treating cardiovascular diseases including heart failure, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, myocardial fibrosis, and coronary failure So far, the Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain in Vietnam has not been studied fully and comprehensively about botany, chemical composition and biological effects Phytochemical studies, there is only a preliminary study in the

antidiabetic property of the extracts from the heartwood, trunk bark and leaves of Dalbergia tonkinensis To clarify the 17 results, the activity was also expressed as IC50 value The heartwood extract demonstrated the strongest activity among the Dalbergia tonkinensis parts used due to its smallest IC50 value of 0.17 mg/mL; therefore, it was used in conducting subsequent experiments, including

The first time from heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain has isolated and determined the chemical structure of 18 flavonoid compounds: pinocembrin, naringenin, 3'-hydroxy-2,4,5-trimethoxydalbergiquinol, medicarpin, buteaspermanol, daltonkin A [(2S)8-carboxyethylpinocembrin], daltonkin B [(2S)-2,6-dicarboxyethylnaringenin], dalbergin, isoliquiritigenin, 7,3',5'-trihydroxyflavanone, vestitone, calycosin, 4',7-dihydroxy-3- methoxyflavone, liquiritigenin, sativanone, 3'-O-methylviolanone, 7,3',4'-trihydroxyaurone and formononetin - 02 compounds daltonkin A and daltonkin B are new mono- and dicarboxyethylflavanones Biological effects of extracts and compounds were isolated 3.1 In vitro antimicrobial: pinocembrin compound exhibits inhibitory activity on mildew (with a minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] of 50 µg/mL), whereas for yeast and Gram-positive bacteria staphylococcus aureus, pinocembrin and naringenin showed moderate inhibition with MIC value of 100 µg/mL 3.2 Inhibition effect of enzyme α-glucosidase 21 - Methanol extraction from heartwood, cover and leaves of Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain has been evaluated for inhibiting enzyme a-glucosidase activity, in which methanol extraction of heartwood has the strongest effect with IC50value of 0.17 mg/mL, compared with positive control is acabose (IC50 of 1.21 mg/mL) - Isolating oriented inhibition of enzyme α-glucosidase has identified two compounds of sativanone and formononetin have more potent than acarbose (positive control) with inhibition rate and IC 50 respective values of sativanone (90%, 0.23 mg/mL) and formononetin (98%, 0.06 mg/mL) compared to acarbose (62%, 1,321 mg/mL) - Methanol extraction from heartwood (HDT) has effectted inhibition enzyme α-glucosidase on mice stronger than cover and leaves with IC50 value of 1.72 mg / mL - Sativanone and formononetin have effectted to inhibit enzyme α-glucosidase of mouse with inhibitory rate and IC50 values respectively (91%, 0.357 mg / mL), (94%, 0.251 mg / mL) 22 SUGGESTION The results of our study on Sua (Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain), have led to the isolation and identification a lot of interesting structural compounds and strong inhibitory activity on enzymes α-glucosidase together with the abundant data in plants (microsurgery and DNA) - Studying chemical composition and biological effects of wood parts, and root of Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain to create complete data and system of this species in Vietnam - Studying to develop effect of enzyme α-glucosidase inhibitory and treat diabetes of two sativanone and formononetin compounds and methanol extraction of heartwood 23 NEW CONTRIBUTION OF THE THESIS Chemical constituent from heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain grown in Vietnam and their biological activities were reported for the first time - 18 flavonoids: pinocembrin (DT.01), naringenin (DT.02), 3'-hydroxy-2,4,5trimethoxydalbergiquinol (DT.03), medicarpin (DT.04), buteaspermanol (DT.05), daltonkin A [(2S)-8-carboxyethylpinocembrin] (DT.06), daltonkin B [(2S)-2,6dicarboxyethylnaringenin] (DT.07), dalbergin (DT.08), isoliquiritigenin (DT.09), 7,3',5'trihydroxyflavanone (DT.10), vestitone (DT.11), calycosin (DT.12), 4',7-dihydroxy-3methoxyflavone (DT.13), liquiritigenin (DT.14), sativanone (DT.15), 3'-O- methylviolanone (DT.16), 7,3',4'-trihydroxyaurone (DT.17) and formononetin (DT.18) were isolated and elucidated - 02 compounds: daltonkin A (DT.06) and daltonkin B (DT.07) are new monoand di-carboxyethylflavanones, respectively - Methanol extraction from heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain demonstrated stronger inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase from rat than that of the trunk bark and leaves with IC50 value of 1.72 mg/mL - Sativanone and formononetin demonstrated much stronger activity against yeast α-glucosidase than that of the acarbose (positive control) with the maximum activity and IC50 values of , 90%, 0.23 mg/mL, 98 %, 0.06 mg/mL, and 62%, 1.32 mg/mL, respectively - The specific inhibitory activity tests showed that sativanone and formononetin also have good effects on rat α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 91%, 0.36 mg/mL, and 94%, 0.25 mg/mL, respectively 24 LIST OF THE PUBLISHED WORKS Nguyen Manh Cuong, Ngu Truong Nhan, Ninh The Son, Do Huu Nghi, To Dao Cuong, Daltonkins A and B, Two New Carboxyethylflavanones from the Heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis, Korean Chemical Society, 2017, 38 (12), 1511–1514 (SCI, IF: 0.76) Van Bon Nguyen, San-Lang Wang, Ngu Truong Nhan, Thi Hanh Nguyen, Nguyen Phuong Dai Nguyen, Do Huu Nghi, Nguyen Manh Cuong, New Records of Potent In-Vitro Antidiabetic Properties of Dalbergia tonkinensis Heartwood and the Bioactivity-Guided Isolation of Active Compounds, Molecules, 2018, 23 (7), 15891600 (SCI-E, IF: 3.098) Ngu Truong Nhan, Ninh The Son, To Dao Cuong, Nguyen Phuong Dai Nguyen, Pham Ngoc Khanh, Tran Thu Huong, Nguyen Manh Cuong, Further study on chemical constituents from the heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis, Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology, 2018, 56 (4A), 252-258 (ACI) Nguyen Manh Cuong, Ngu Truong Nhan, Nguyen Phuong Dai Nguyen, Pham Ngoc Khanh, Ninh The Son, Tran Thu Huong, To Dao Cuong, Nguyen Thi Hong Mai, Nguyen Thi Phuong Trang, Comparison of ability to identify vietnam dalbergia tonkinensisspecies of several chloroplast DNA markers, National Biotechnology Conference, Hanoi, Natural Science and Technology Publishing House, 2018, 100106, ISBN: 978-604-913-759-4 Ngu Truong Nhan, Nguyen Manh Cuong, Do Huu Nghi, A document survey on the natural flavonoids of the genus Dalbergia (Fabaceae), Pharmaceutical Journal, 2018, 505 (58), 16-21 ... the species of the Sua (Dalbergia) with rate 99%, 98% and 97% respectively -
