Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb (APL) is a significant source of inhibitors for α-glucosidase, which is an essential target enzyme for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, cancer and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Ligand fishing is a suitable approach for the highly selective screening of bioactive substances in complex mixtures. Yet it is unable to conduct biomedical imaging screening, which is crucial for real-time identification. In this case, a bioanalytical platform combining magnetic fluorescent ligand fishing and in-situ imaging technique was established for the screening and identification of α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) from APL crude extract, utilizing α-glucosidase coated CuInS2/ZnS-Fe3O4SiO2 (AG-CIZSFS) nanocomposites as extracting material and fluorescent tracer. The AG-CIZSFS nanocomposites prepared through solvothermal and crosslinking methods displayed fast magnetic separation, excellent fluorescence performance and high enzyme activity. The tolerance of immobilized enzyme to temperature and pH was stronger than that of free enzyme. Prior to proof-of-concept with APL crude extract, a number essential parameters (glutaraldehyde concentration, immobilized time, enzyme amount, reaction solution pH, incubation temperature, incubation time, percentage of methanol in eluen, elution times and eluent volume) were optimized using an artificial test mixture. The fished ligands were identified by UPLC-MS/MS and their biological activities were preliminarily evaluated by real-time cellular morphological imaging of human colon carcinoma (HCT-116) cells based on confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were further verified and studied by classical pNPG method and molecular docking. The isolated compounds exhibited significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with a IC50 value of 11.57 µg·mL-1. Six potential AGIs including tribuloside, ivorengenin A, tormentic acid, 1β, 2β, 3β, 19α-Tetra hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid, corosolic acid and pomolic acid were ultimately screened out and identified from APL crude extracts. The proposed approach, which combined highly specific screening with in-situ visual imaging, provided a powerful platform for discovering bioactive components from multi-component and multi-target traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
