insulin

Insulin (human) is a peptide hormone that promotes glycogen synthesis and regulates glucose levels in the blood. Insulin (human) has hypoglycemic activity and is used clinically to treat hyperglycemia in diabetic patients.

Metformin hydrochloride (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide hydrochloride), a widely used anti-diabetic drug, exhibits potential anti-Y properties by inhibiting the proliferation of various Y cells, including colon and prostate.

Imeglimin hydrochloride (EMD 387008 hydrochloride) is an oral hypoglycemic agent. Imeglimin improves insulin sensitivity, inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species, increases mitochondrial DNA, and improves mitochondrial function.

Metformin (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide) is an AMPK activator with blood-brain barrier permeability. Metformin may improve glycemic control by increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal glucose uptake, and is commonly used in type 2 diabetes research.

MEDICA16 is a selective agonist for GPR40 as well as a partial agonist for GPR120. MEDICA16, an ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor, significantly reduces intracellular TG content in gastrocnemius muscle with an increase in insulin sensitivity.

GSK1904529A (GSK 4529) is a specific inhibitor of IGF-1R (IC50=27 nM) and IR(IC50=25 nM) .

Saxagliptin hydrate (Onglyza hydrate) is a selective and reversible DPP4 inhibitor (IC50: 26 nM; Ki: 1.3 nM).

Acarbose (BAY g 5421) is a hypoglycemic agent that is an inhibitor of orally active alpha-glucosidase (IC50=11 nM). Acarbose enhances the hypoglycemic effect of sulfonylureas or insulin.

Salsalate (Sasapyrine) is an orally available salicylate and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities.

Cholesterol is the primary sterol in mammals, accounting for approximately 20–25% of the plasma membrane structure. It plays a key role in regulating membrane fluidity, permeability, and protein function. As an endogenous agonist of estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα), cholesterol is widely involved in metabolic regulation and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of hormones and bile acids. It is commonly used in experimental models of hyperlipidemia.

Repaglinide (AG-EE 623ZW) is a benzoic acid derivative that stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and is used in the therapy of type 2 diabetes. Repaglinide has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

β-Aminopropionitrile (3-Aminopropionitrile) is a selective inhibitor of lysyl oxidase.

Nateglinide (Senaglinide) is an oral hypoglycemic agent and amino acid derivative that stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and is used in the therapy of type 2 diabetes. Nateglinide has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) (BMOV) is a potent, reversible, competitive, and orally active pan-PTP (protein tyrosine phosphatases) inhibitor with insulin-mimicking effects and anti-diabetic properties. BMOV is a potent insulin sensitizer and has been shown to improve cardiac dysfunctions in diabetic models. BMOV inhibits HCPTPA, PTP1B, HPTPβ, and SHP2 with IC50s of 126 nM, 109 nM, 26 nM, and 201 nM, respectively [1][2].

SBC-115076 is a potent extracellular proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) antagonist.

Emodin (Frangula emodin) is an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor with a selective IC50 of 186 and 86 nM against 11β-HSD1 in humans and mice, respectively. Emodin has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. Emodin can improve metabolic disorders in diet-induced obese mice.

1-Deoxynojirimycin (Moranoline) is a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor, suppressing postprandial blood glucose, thereby possibly preventing diabetes mellitus.

Silymarin (Silybin B) (Silybin B) is a polyphenolic flavonoid that extracts from the milk thistle or seeds of Silybum marianum. It is used in the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.

Alloxan Monohydrate is a diabetogenic agent that acts as a proteasome inhibitor and induces diabetes in experimental animals by damaging the insulin-secreting β-cells in the pancreas. It is commonly used to establish diabetes models.

KY-226 is a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)(IC50: 0.25 μM,)

SU4984 is a cell-permeable, ATP-competitive and reversible inhibitor of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1).

10,12-Tricosadiynoic acid is a highly selective and orally active inhibitor of acyl-CoA oxidase-1 (ACOX1), which can treat high-fat diet- or obesity-induced metabolic diseases by improving mitochondrial lipid and ROS metabolism.

APX-115 free base (Ewha-18278 free base) is a potent, orally active pan NADPH oxidase (Nox) inhibitor with inhibition constants (Kis) of 1.08 μM, 0.57 μM, and 0.63 μM for Nox1, Nox2, and Nox4, respectively, and it effectively prevents kidney injury.

BIBO3304 TFA is an effective, orally active, and selective neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor antagonist (IC50:0.38 and 0.72 nM for the human and the rat Y1 receptor).
