Description	Antidiabetic agent. Potent and selective partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), a nuclear receptor regulating lipid and glucose metabolism. Has low nanomolar binding affinity to PPARgamma and micromolar binding to the isotypes PPARalpha and PPARbeta/delta. The binding affinity constant to PPARgamma is 12 times lower than Amorfrutin A (Prod. No. bs-75228C). Glucose-lowering agent. Improves insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and blood lipid variables without increase of fat storage or hepatoxicity. Shows potent PPARgamma-dependent anti-inflammatory activity. Antimicrobial agent.
