Pterosin A
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pterosin A ((2S)-Pterosin A) is a sesquiterpene compound. Pterosin A is an orally active AMPK activator with anti-diabetic effect. Pterosin A can promote glucose uptake, increase serum insulin, and improve hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. Pterosin A can prevent insulin-secreting cells death and reduce ROS production. Pterosin A can be used for the research of metabolic disease, such as diabetes.

Pterosin A (50 μg/mL, 0.5-4 h) enhances glucose uptake and AMPK phosphorylation in muscle cells[1].
Pterosin A (50-150 μg/mL, 0.5-4 h) inhibits PEPCK expression, triggers the phosphorylations of AMPK, ACC, and GSK-3, decreases glycogen synthase phosphorylation, and increases the intracellular glycogen level in liver cells[1].
Pterosin A (10-100 μM, 18 h) inhibits H2O2-induced ROS production in RINm5f β-cells[2].
Pterosin A (10-100 μM, 24 h) reduces lipotoxicity-induced cell death in RINm5f β-cells[2].
