α-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Vauquelinia corymbosa.
The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of an aqueous extract and compounds from the aerial parts of V. corymbosa was demonstrated with yeast and rat small intestinal α-glucosidases. The aqueous extract inhibited yeast α-glucosidase with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 28.6 μg/mL. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract led to the isolation of several compounds, including o...
متن کاملP 61: MicroRNA as a Therapeutic Tool to Prevent Blood Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Neuroinflammation
Endothelial cells present in brain are unique and differ from other peripheral tissues in a number of ways, which ensures specific brain endothelial barrier properties. Endothelial dysfunction is the earliest event in the initiation of vascular damage caused by inflammation. Various microRNAs (miRNA) have been discovered in different cellular components of the blood bran barrier (BBB). miRNAs a...
متن کاملPostprandial elevation of remnant lipoprotein leads to endothelial dysfunction.
Recent studies have demonstrated that elevated levels of cholesterol in the form of remnant-like particles (RLP-C) induce deterioration of endothelial function during the fasting state, but it is not known whether postprandial RLP-C elevation has the same effect. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of postprandial RLP-C elevation on endothelial function in 24 fasting normolipid...
متن کاملPostprandial recruitment of neutrophils may contribute to endothelial dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis is a low-grade inflammatory disease involving leukocytes, lipids, and glucose leading to endothelial dysfunction. Since activation of neutrophils by triglycerides and glucose has been described in vitro, we hypothesized that the postprandial phase is an inflammatory state affecting leukocytes, possibly contributing to endothelial dysfunction. We measured postprandial blood leuko...
متن کاملSynthesis and biological evaluation of novel ursolic acid analogues as potential α-glucosidase inhibitors
Ursolic acid (UA) is a major pentacyclic triterpenoid in plants, vegetables and fruits, which has been reported to have a potential anti-diabetic activity. Despite various semi-synthetic ursolic acid derivatives already described, new derivatives still need to be designed and synthesized to further improve the anti-diabetic activity. In the present study, two series of novel UA derivatives, wer...
