Since glycolipid biosynthesis is potentially involved in immunological and inflammatory responses, we tested the effect of a novel inhibitor of intracellular glycolipid biosynthesis N-(5-adamantane-1-yl-methoxy-pentyl)-deoxynojirimycin (AMP-DNM) in two hapten-induced colitis models: trinitrobenzene
Objective: Stable angina pectoris (SAP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and blood stasis syndrome (BSS) is a potentially serious threat to public health. NF-κB signaling is associated with angina pectoris. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which is a unique polyhydroxy alkaloid, is the
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with chronic inflammation and gut bacterial dysbiosis. Studies show that 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) may improve NASH, yet the role of gut microbiota in protective effect of DNJ on NASH remains to be known. In present study, we aimed to examine how DNJ
Gastric ulcer (GU) is a main threat to public health. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may prevent GU but related mechanism remains unclear. DNJ was extracted from the supernatants of Bacillus subtilis by using ethanol and purified by using CM-Sepharose
Current anti-inflammatory strategies for the treatment of pulmonary disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) are limited; thus, there is continued interest in identifying additional molecular targets for therapeutic intervention. Given the emerging role of sphingolipids (SLs) in various respiratory
1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), a representative iminopyranose, is widely used in anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity applications. It naturally exists in plants, insects, and the culture broth of some microbes as a secondary metabolite product. However, the content of DNJ in
Adenovirus 36 (Ad36) is known to be associated with human obesity and to trigger inflammation in murine models. However, to date no clinical drugs for treating virus-induced obesity have been developed. Therefore, in this study, the anti-obesity and anti-inflammation effects of mulberry extract on
Inflammation is a predominant aspect of neurodegenerative diseases and experimental studies performed in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD) suggesting that a sustained neuroinflammation exacerbates the nigrostriatal degeneration pathway. The central role of microglia in neuroinflammation has
β-amyloid deposition and neuroinflammation play a crucial part in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, this study was designed to find the effects of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) purified from mulberry leaves on pathological deposition of Aβ peptides and neuroinflammation in senescence-accelerated-prone
Dengue fever is an emerging arboviral disease for which no vaccine or antiviral treatment exists and that causes thousands of fatalities each year. To develop an in vivo test system for antidengue drugs, AG129 mice, which are deficient for the interferon- alpha / beta and - gamma receptors, were
OBJECTIVE
Mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves (ML) contain many functional components, such as 1-deoxynojirimycin, flavonoids (rutin, quercetin, kaempferol). It is well known that 1-deoxynojirimycin functions to suppress increases in blood glucose level by α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Thus, the
Sandhoff and Tay-Sachs disease are autosomal recessive GM2 gangliosidoses where a deficiency of lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase results in storage of glycoconjugates. Imino sugar (2-acetamido-1,4-imino-1,2,4-trideoxy-L-arabinitol) inhibition of beta-hexosaminidase in murine RAW264.7 macrophage-like
Iminosugars are sugar analogues endowed with a high pharmacological potential. The wide range of biological activities exhibited by these glycomimetics associated with their excellent drug profile make them attractive therapeutic candidates for several medical interventions. The ability of
BACKGROUND
Cardiometabolic risks are regarded as the crucial factors associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Regarding an increased attention to medicinal plants in the current healthcare system, the effects of mulberry (Morus spp., Moraceae) leaves on
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. The hyperinsulinemia that occurs as a consequence of insulin resistance is thought to be an important contributor to the development of fatty liver. We have shown that the iminosugar
