Tangshenoside I might be a potential bioactive marker related to the hematopoietic and immunologic functions of Codonopsis Radix, which could be recommended as the index compound. It has α-glucosidase inhibition activity.
Tuberosin shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.It demonstrated a significantly potent inhibition on yeast α-glucosidase in a dose dependent manner.
Guajadial shows α-glucosidase inhibitory activities significantly and its activity was better than that of Acarbose.Guajadial may act as Selective Estrogen Receptors Modulators (SERMs), therefore holding significant potential for anticancer therapy, it ex
Tachioside has antiobesity, antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, it decreases lipid content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by inhibiting lipogenesis, shows antiobesity activities. Tachioside can inhibit nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharides-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells with IC50 value of 12.14 μM.
Piragliatin, also known as RO4389620, is a glucokinase activator. Piragliatin greatly enhances glucose-induced pancreatic islet respiration and insulin release. Piragliatin lowers plasma glucose both in the postabsorptive state and after a glucose challenge in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Piragliatin has an acute glucose-lowering action in patients with mild type 2 diabetes, mainly mediated through a generalized enhancement of β-cell function and through fasting restricted changes in glucose turnover.
