insulin-sensitizing

Abscisic Acid (Dormin) is a plant hormone, which is involved in many plant developmental processes, modulates ion homeostasis and metabolism, and inhibits germination and seedling growth.

Pioglitazone (U 72107) is a PPARγ agonist with EC50 of 0.93 and 0.99 μM on human and mouse PPARγ, respectively, and has selective and oral activity. Pioglitazone can be used in diabetes research.

JBSNF-000028 belongs to small molecule inhibitors, serving as a nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor (IC50=33 nM (human), 190 nM (monkey), 210 nM (mouse)), with oral activity and cell permeability, for research on metabolic disorders, possessing insulin-sensitizing, glucose-lowering, and weight-reducing effects.

LT175, a dual PPARα/γ ligand, demonstrates potent insulin-sensitizing effects with reduced adipogenic properties. This orally active partial agonist targets PPARγ with EC50 values of 0.22 μm for hPPARα, 0.26 μm for mPPARα, and 0.48 μm for hPPARγ. LT175 specifically interacts with PPARγ, influencing the recruitment of coregulators, such as the cyclic-AMP response element-binding protein-binding protein and nuclear corepressor 1 (NCoR1), within a hydrophobic region known as the diphenyl pocket [1].

Naringenin chalcone (Isosalipurpol) has antiallergic activity Naringenin chalcone suppresses asthmatic symptoms by inhibiting Th2 cytokine production from CD4 T cells. Naringenin chalcone is a potent tomato flavonoid that improves adipocyte metabolic functions and exerts insulin-sensitizing effects by activating an adiponectin-related pathway. Naringenin chalcone exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines in the interaction between adipocytes and macrophages, may be useful for ameliorating the inflammatory changes in obese adipose tissue.

[10]-Shogaol (10-Shogaol) is an extract from ginger displaying antioxidant activity. It also may contain hypolipidemic and insulin-sensitizing effects.

1. 3-Dehydrotrametenolic acid can be a potential anticancer agent against H-ras transformed tumor. 2. Dehydrotrametenolic acid is a promising candidate for a new type of insulin-sensitizing drug.

TCS-401 is an insulin receptor sensitizing agent; Selective inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B).
