New Benzofuran N-Acylhydrazone Reduces Cardiovascular Dysfunction in Obese Rats by Blocking TNF-Alpha Synthesis

Only registered users can translate articles

Introduction: Diabetic obese patients are susceptible to the development of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension and cardiac dysfunction culminating in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC), which represents a life-threatening health

Benzofuran derivatives inhibit 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 activity in rat adipose tissue.

Only registered users can translate articles

Excess glucocorticoids promote visceral obesity and insulin resistance. The main regulator of intracellular glucocorticoid levels are 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which converts inactive glucocorticoid into bioactive glucocorticoid such as cortisol in humans and corticosterone

Commiphora myrrha Resin Alcoholic Extract Ameliorates High Fat Diet Induced Obesity via Regulation of UCP1 and Adiponectin Proteins Expression in Rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study was performed to evaluate anti-obesity potential of Commiphora myrrha resin ethanolic extract (CME) with the respect to expression of leptin, adiponectin and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in rats. Control rats fed basal diet. Second group fed basal diet and administered CME (500

Benzofuran pyran compound rescues rat and human osteoblast from lipotoxic effect of palmitate by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis and promoting stabilization of RUNX2.

Obesity and ageing increases bone marrow fat which in turn is associated with lower bone mass. Marrow adipocytes by secreting cytokines, adipokines and free fatty acids change the bone marrow milieu and thus the number of osteoblasts. Palmitate is the common saturated fatty acid, an unavoidable

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation by benzofurans and coumestans isolated from Erythrina abyssinica.

Only registered users can translate articles

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been proposed as a therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic syndrome including obesity and type-2 diabetes. The bioassay-guided fractionation of an EtOAc-soluble extract of the stem bark of Erythrina abyssinica led to the isolation of a new coumestan,

Synthesis of benzofuran scaffold-based potential PTP-1B inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in down-regulating insulin signaling through dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor. Studies have shown that PTP-1B knockout mice showed increased insulin sensitivity in muscle and liver as well as resistance to

Novel benzofuran inhibitors of human mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1.

Only registered users can translate articles

Protein tyrosine phosphatases have a central role in the maintenance of normal cellular functionality. For example, PTP1B has been implicated in insulin-resistance, obesity, and neoplasia. Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1 or DUSP1) dephosphorylates and inactivates

Bicyclic benzofuran and indole-based salicylic acids as protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) constitute a large and structurally diverse family of signaling enzymes that control the cellular levels of protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Malfunction of PTP activity has significant implications in many human diseases, and the PTP protein family provides an

Exploring the allosteric mechanism of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B by molecular dynamics simulations.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B): a validated therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Since PTP1B was discovered in 1988, tremendous efforts have been made in finding its inhibitor, but so far, no inhibitor has been used for clinical treatment. In this study, molecular dynamics

[PTP1B inhibitory activities of bromophenol derivatives from algae].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To study the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity of natural products from algae aiming at searching for new way for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. METHODS Bromophenols derivatives from algae were screened against the PTP1B by the

Spirobiflavonoid stereoisomers from the endangered conifer Glyptostrobus pensilis and their protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitory activity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Six spirobiflavonoid stereoisomers including two new ones, spiropensilisols A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a mass-limited trunk barks of Glyptostrobus pensilis, an endangered conifer endemic to China. The new structures featuring a benzofuran-containing spirolactone and their absolute

Benzyloxazolidine-2,4-diones as potent hypoglycemic agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of benzyloxazolidine-2,4-diones, containing oxazole-based side chains, were found to lower blood glucose levels in the genetically obese ob/ob mouse. Incorporation of a benzofuran structural element in these compounds provides greatly enhanced in vivo potency. The syntheses and

Chemical constituents of Morus alba L. and their inhibitory effect on 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mulberry leaf, an important traditional Chinese medicine, possesses many biological activities, including effects of anti-obesity. However, which constituents of mulberry leaf are responsible for its anti-adipogenic action is unclear. This study primarily investigated the chemical constituents from
