Isolation and identification of a novel anti-diabetic compound from Euclea undulata Thunb

Hypoglycemic evaluation of a new triterpene and other compounds isolated from Euclea undulata Thunb. var. myrtina (Ebenaceae) root bark.

AIM OF THE STUDY Investigate the hypoglycaemic activity of the four isolated compounds from a crude acetone extract of the root bark of Euclea undulata var. myrtina, which is used by traditional healers in the Venda area, Limpopo Province in the treatment of diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The hypoglycaemic activity of the four compounds isolated from Euclea undulata was determined by in vitro...

Baicalein, a novel anti-diabetic compound

Both in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the deterioration of glycemic control over time is primarily caused by an inadequate mass and progressive dysfunction of β-cells, leading to the impaired insulin secretion. Thus, the search for agents to protect -cell and enhance its function is important for diabetes treatment. Studies have reported that baicalein, a flavone originally isolated ...

Isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing Rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples

The genus Rhodococcus is gram positive bacterium which was classified into the family of Nocardiaceae.  The organism can be isolates from different sources, with capability to degrade diverse types of pollutant. Nowadays, scientists reported a few secondary metabolites which are produced by Rhodococci. Hence, the present study tried to isolate Rhodococci from different soil samples with the cap...
