Moronic Acid, A Promising Antidiabetic Antioxidant

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a chronic low-grade inflammatory condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose.

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from the foreign invasion.

Acute inflammation occurs quickly or within the hours and lasts a few days or weeks and the damaged tissues are healed themselves after all pathogens are killed off.

However, if the immune system can not completely eradicate all invaders in the acute phase of infection, it will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes.

Chronic inflammation is a low-grade inflammation caused by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the invasive pathogens that occurred in the acute phase of infection.

Any inflammation that lasts more than 8 weeks is considered chronic inflammation.

Believe it or not, worldwide, 3 of 5 death are results from chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.

In the US, chronic inflammatory diseases affect more than 50 million Americans each year.

Sub-chronic diabetic treatment is a process associated with the treatment of diabetes that lasts only in a moderate or intermediate duration.

Moronic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found in extracted from Rhus javanica, Mistletoe, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of diabetes, researchers examined the ix derivatives (1-6) of moronic acid that were semi-synthesized and their in vitro protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) inhibition activity in diabetes.
* In rat induced diabetes, derivatives 2 (IC50=10.8 ± 0.5 μM) and 6 (IC50=7.5 ± 0.1 μM) displayed the most potent inhibitory activity.

* The derivatives decreased plasma glucose levels during all the experiments in vitro and vivo.

* Most importantly, The #2 had polar and Van der Waals interactions in both sites with Val49, Gln262, Met258, Phe182, Ala217, Ile219, and Gly259 and # 6 showed polar interaction with Gln262 and Van der Waals with Val49, Ile219, Gly259, Arg254, Ala27, Phe52, Met258, the proteins associated with the onset of diabetes.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "derivatives 2 and 6 have the potential for the development of antidiabetic agents".

Taken altogether, moronic acid may be considered a remedy for the treatment of diabetes in a short duration, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
