Cytotoxicity of semisynthetic acetal triterpenes from one-pot vicinal diol cleavage following by lactolization: reaction promoted by NaIO4/SiO2 gel in THF.

Nat. Prod. Res. 27(8) , 711-8, (2013)

In situ C-C bond cleavage of vicinal diol following by the lactolisation resulted from separated treatment of Arjunolic acid (1), 24-hydroxytormentic acid (2) and 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosylsitosterol (3) with sodium periodate and silica gel in dried THF according...

Disruption of glucose tolerance caused by glucocorticoid excess in rats is partially prevented, but not attenuated, by arjunolic acid.

Indian J. Exp. Biol. 52(10) , 972-82, (2014)

Arjunolic acid (AA) obtained from plants of the Combretaceae family has shown anti-diabetic effects. Here, we analyzed whether the diabetogenic effects of dexamethasone (DEX) treatment on glucose homeostasis may be prevented or attenuated by the concomitant a...
