Obesity-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases coagulation and inflammation. We hypothesized that (S)YS-51, an agent found to be beneficial in animal models of sepsis, may reduce NAFLD in high-fat diet (HFD) mice by reducing coagulation and inflammation. C57BL/6 mice were fed
Among the active components in traditional anti-diabetic herbal plants, berberine which is an isoquinoline alkaloid exhibits promising potential for its potent anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic effects. However, the berberine effect on serum glucose levels in type 1 diabetes (T1D) subjects still
Chemically, TDIQ (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinoline) can be viewed as a conformationally restricted phenylalkylamine that is related in structure to amphetamine but does not stimulate (or depress) locomotor activity in rodents. In radioligand binding studies TDIQ displays selective
Berberine, a quaternary isoquinoline alkaloid present in Berberis aristata, is well known in terms of cholesterol-lowering, hypoglycemic, and insulin sensitizing effects. Because of its low oral bioavailability, to improve intestinal absorption it has been recently combined with silymarin (Silybum
Obesity and diabetes are reaching epidemic levels globally. Metagenomics and microbiome science have recently emerged as new tools for studying common complex human diseases. We report in this study notable differences in gut microbiome in adult patients with obesity and diabetes in Egypt. The
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)‑1c are major therapeutic targets in the treatment of metabolic diseases. In the present study, the fat‑reducing mechanisms of berberine (BBR), a natural isoquinoline, was investigated by examining the
Berberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid that derived from the Chinese medicinal plant Coptis chinensis, has been identified with multiple pharmacological activities, including regulating glucose and cholesterol levels, anti-obesity effects and anti-diabetic effects. Due to its multiple activities,
Promoting white-to-beige adipocyte transition is a promising approach for obesity treatment. Although Liensinine (Lie), a kind of isoquinoline alkaloid, has been reported to affect white-to-beige adipocyte transition, its effects on inhibiting beige adipocytes recovering to white adipocytes and
Human leukocyte antigen-related (PTP-LAR) is a receptor-like transmembrane phosphatase and a potential target for diabetes, obesity and cancer. In the present study, a sequence of in silico strategies (pharmacophore mapping, a 3D database searching, SADMET screening, and docking and toxicity
Furanopyrimidine 1 (IC50 = 273 nM, LE = 0.36, LELP = 10.28) was recently identified by high-throughput screening (HTS) of an in-house library (125,000 compounds) as an Aurora kinase inhibitor. Structure-based hit optimization resulted in lead molecules with in vivo efficacy in a mouse tumour
Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of cancer death, has been linked to inflammation and obesity. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes and anti-tumor properties. In the azoxymethane initiated and dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS) promoted colorectal
Berberine is a quaternary isoquinoline alkaloid that has been isolated from numerous plants which are still in use today as medicine and herbal supplements. The great deal of enthusiasm for intense research on berberine to date is based on its diverse pharmacological effects via action on multiple
Excessive adipogenesis in adipocytes results in obesity. Berberine, a natural isoquinoline alkaloid, has antiobesity properties. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained unclear up to now. In this study, porcine adipocytes were cultured and treated with berberine. Cellular lipid
Berberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid with anti-diabetic properties. Despite the central role of liver and thus hepatic mitochondria in whole-body metabolism, berberine effects on hepatic mitochondrial function in an obesity model are still unknown. Here, we demonstrate that berberine treatment
Berberine, an important natural isoquinoline alkaloid from traditional Chinese medicine, is reported to exhibit multiple pharmacological properties, including anti-microbial, anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic activities. Although studies have shown that a wide
