Leucosceptoside A

Names

[ Name ]:
Leucosceptoside A

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Leucosceptoside A is a phenylethanoid glycoside with anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hypertensive activities. Leucosceptoside A shows inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and PKCα (IC50 of 19.0 μM)[1][2][3].

Signaling Pathways >> TGF-beta/Smad >> PKC

[Target]

PKCα:19 μM (IC50)

[In Vitro]

Leucosceptoside A shows weak angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effect[1]. Leucosceptoside A (4-16 μM) significantly reduces 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+)-induced death of mesencephalic neurons[2].
