Guavenoic acid
Guavenoic acid is a triterpenoid compound that can be isolated from fresh leaves of Psidium guajava. Guavenoic acid protects cells in cellular oxidative damage models, inhibits intracellular ROS production, and suppresses cell apoptosis. Guavenoic acid significantly enhances cellular proliferation, promotes insulin synthesis and secretion, and upregulates the messenger RNA expression of insulin gene, PDX-1 and MafA. Guavenoic acid can be used in the research of diseases such as pancreatic islet β-cell tumors.

Biological Activity
Guavenoic acid (0.3-30 nM, 48 h) protects cells, inhibits intracellular ROS production, and suppresses cell apoptosis in the H2O2-induced oxidative damage model of INS-1 cells[2].
Guavenoic acid (0.3-30 nM, 48 h) promotes the proliferation of INS-1 cells, enhances cellular insulin synthesis capacity, strengthens both basal insulin secretion and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion functions, and upregulates the mRNA expression levels of insulin gene, PDX-1, and MafA in INS-1 cells under a glucose-stimulated insulin secretion model with glucose concentrations of 5.6 and 16.7 mM[3].
