Gene Synthesis> | The α-glucosidase gene from Ruminococcus obeum ATCC 29174 was optimized (Figure S41, Supporting Information) for expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), using the software OptimumGene from GenScript (Piscataway, NJ, USA). T | Get A Quote |
A dried infusion prepared from the aerial parts of Salvia circinata did not provoke acute toxicity in mice (LD50 > 5 g/kg). This infusion showed poor hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic effects (100−570 mg/kg) when tested in normal and hyperglycemic mice using acute and oral glucose tolerance tests, respectively. However, this infusion possessed antihyperglycemic action in vivo during an oral sucrose tolerance test (31.6−316 mg/kg), suggesting the presence of α-glucosidase inhibitors in S. circinata. Fractionation of a nonpolar extract of the aerial parts of the plant yielded a new biflavone (1) and four new neoclerodane diterpenoid glucosides (2−5) along with the known compounds amarisolide (6), pedaliti...
