Amorfrutins are selective PPARM-NM-3 agonists with potent antidiabetic properties
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Faced by an alarming incidence of metabolic diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes worldwide, there is an urgent need for effective strategies for preventing and treating these common diseases. The nuclear receptor PPARM-NM-3 (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) plays a crucial role in metabolism. We isolated the amorfrutins from edible parts of the plants Glychyrrhiza foetida and Amorpha fruticosa, and identified these natural products as a new chemical class to treat insulin resistance and diabetes by selectively activating PPARM-NM-3. In contrast to existing synthetic PPARM-NM-3 drugs, the amorfrutins display unique properties by separating insulin sensitization from unwanted side effects. In obese mouse models, amorfrutin treatment significantly improved important metabolic and inflammatory parameters. In summary, PPARM-NM-3 activation by selective amorfrutins derived from edible biomaterial is a promising approach to combat metabolic diseases and other diseases in which PPARM-NM-3 is involved in. GSM701612-GSM701623: Male DIO C57BL/6 mice (age 18 wks), 3 groups (n=4 each after pooling of 8 samples per group). Mice were fed over 3 wks with high fat diet (HFD) without compound (vehicle), HFD with 4 mg/kg/d rosiglitazone or with 100 mg/kg/d amorfrutin 1. Liver RNA extracted. --> 4 biological replicates, vehicle vs. rosiglitazone or amorfrutin 1 GSM702299-GSM702344: Biological replicates (n = 3-4 each) of human primary adipocytes were treated with the following compounds for 24 hours. 10M-BM-5M rosiglitazone, 10M-BM-5M pioglitazone, 30M-BM-5M telmisartan, 10M-BM-5M nTZDpa, 30M-BM-5M amorfrutin 1, 30M-BM-5M amorfrutin 2, 30M-BM-5M amorfrutin 3 or 30M-BM-5M amorfrutin 4 vs. 0.1% DMSO (vehicle)
