Emodin 6-O-β-D-glucoside (Glucoemodin) can protect barrier integrity and inhibit HMGB1-mediated inflammatory responses, which suggests a potential use as a therapy for sepsis or septic shock. Emodin 6-O-beta-D-glucoside has anti-inflammatory activities and also may have significant therapeutic benefits against diabetic complications and atherosclerosis.

Rhoifolin (Apigenin 7-O-neohesperidoside) is extracted from Turpinia arguya Seem dried leaves.

Vicenin 2 is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (IC50=43.83 μM) from the aerial parts of Desmodium styracifolium. Vicenin 2 is an inhibitor of α-glucosidase, PTP1B, and RLAR. Vicenin 2 has hepatoprotective, anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and DTL co-administration is more effective than either of the single agents in androgen-independent prostate cancer. Vicenin 2 might be a useful lead for the development of multiple target-oriented therapeutic modalities for the treatment of diabetes and diabetes-associated complications. Vicenin 2 could act as a UV light barrier to protect the plants.

1. Apigenin 7-glucoside (Cosmosiin) is a anti-HIV agent. 2. Cosmosiin may be beneficial for diabetic complications through their enhanced adiponectin secretion, tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor-β and GLUT4 translocation.

Diacerein (Fisiodar) is a prodrug which is metabolized to rhein. It is currently approved in France for the treatment of osteoarthritis although the use of diacerein is restricted due to the side effects including sevre diarrhea [L780]. Diacerein is under investigation for the treatment of Insulin Resistance, Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2), and Diabetes-Related Complications.

Lisinopril (Prinivil), the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is used primarily in the treatment of high heart failure, blood pressure, and heart attacks. It is also used for preventing eye and kidney complications in people with diabetes.

Cycloolivil (Isoolivil) is a natural polyphenolic compound found in olive trees that exhibits significant radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. It may prevent thrombotic complications associated with platelet hyperaggregability and serve as a foundational compound for further research.

1. Obtusifolin has antioxidant properties and improves chemically induced diabetes and its complications by modulation of oxidative stress. 2. Obtusifolin suppresses phthalate esters-mediated bone resorption, thus may be a novel anti-breast-cancer bone me

Cyanidin Chloride, the main phenolic antioxidant in the grape (Vitis vinifera), in particular in the liposomal forms, could be used for treatment of diabetes mellitus complications.

1. Rhapontin (Ponticin) can alleviate liver steatosis and improve blood glucose and lipid profiles in KK Ay diabetic mice, indicates that rhaponticin has a noticeable antidiabetic effect and could be potentially used as a new agent to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications.

Isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside (Isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-Glucoside) inhibits the activity of alpha-glucosidase from rat intestine; it exhibits a potent rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) inhibition in vitro, its IC(50) being 1.4 microM and has inhibitory effects of sorbitol accumulation, suggests that it is a leading compound for further study as a new drug for the prevention and or treatment of diabetes and its complications.

Chebulic acid, a phenolcarboxylic acid compound isolated from Terminalia chebula, exhibits potent antioxidant activity by breaking protein cross-links induced by advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and inhibiting AGE formation. It may also counteract AGE-induced endothelial cell dysfunction, suggesting it as a potential intervention for diabetic vascular complications.

Rubrofusarin gentiobioside (Rubrofusarin-6-O-beta-D-gentiobioside) can significantly decrease the expression of TGF-beta1 and fibronectin and NF-kappaB DNA binding activity, suggests that it has potential as a preventive agent for advanced glycation end products-related diabetic complications.

Cornoside is a natural phenolic glycoside that inhibits rat lens aldose reductase (AR) activity, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in diabetic complications.

Epimedokoreanin B (EKB), an isoprenylated flavonoid isolated from Korean Epimedium, exhibited anticancer activity in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 and NCI-H292 cells.Epimedokoreanin B also possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, and may have scavenging activity against DPPH radicals, inhibiting the proliferation of MCF-7 and HepG2 in a dose-dependent manner. Epimedokoreanin B also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity, with DPPH radical scavenging activity, and inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7 and HepG2 in a dose-dependent manner.Epimedokoreanin B significantly inhibits the formation of N (α)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and N (Ï)-(carboxymethyl)arginine (CMA), and prevents clinical complications of diabetes mellitus through the inhibition of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).

Dammarenediol II may have the ability to prevent diabetic microvascular complications, including diabetic retinopathy, it can inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and stress fiber forma
