Advanced studies on the hypoglycemic effect of Caesalpinia bonducella F. in type 1 and 2 diabetes in Long Evans rats.

Caesalpinia bonducella, widely distributed throughout the coastal region of India and used ethnically by the tribal people of India for controlling blood sugar was earlier reported by us to possess hypoglycemic activity in animal model. This prompted us to undertake a detail study with the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the seeds of this plant in both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus in Long Evans rats. Significant blood sugar lowering effect (P < 0.05) of C. bonducella was observed in type 2 diabetic model. Special emphasis was given on the mechanistic study by gut absorption of glucose and liver glycogen.

Hypoglycemic properties of aqueous bark extract of Ceiba pentandra in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

The claim by Nigerian traditional herbal medicine practitioners that the silk cotton tree, Ceiba pentandra L. Gaertn (Bombacaceae) barks extract has antidiabetic properties was investigated. Diabetes mellitus was induced with streptozotocin and graded doses of the aqueous bark extract were then administered ad libitum in drinking water to the experimentally diabetic rats for 28 days. Administration of the aqueous bark extract caused a statistically significant reduction in plasma glucose level in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The extract appeared non-toxic as evidenced by normal serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin. The data appear to support the hypoglycemic effects of C. pentandra.

The hypoglycemic activity of Zygophyllum gaetulum extracts in alloxan-induced hyperglycemic rats.

The aqueous infusion of the aerial parts of Zygophyllum gaetulum Emb. and Maire was tested orally (1 g/kg body weight) for hypoglycemic activity in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The infusion was partitioned between water and butanol to yield a butanol soluble fraction (B), and an aqueous fraction (W) which on reduction in volume gave a precipitate (WP) and supernatant (WS). Fractions (B) and (WP) caused significant reduction in blood glucose concentration, while the ingestion of (WS) produced no significant reduction in blood glucose level.

Metabolic fate of the hypoglycemic agent pirogliride in laboratory animals and humans.

Metabolism of the hypoglycemic agent, pirogliride, was investigated in the rat, dog monkey and human. Unchanged pirogliride plus six metabolites were isolated and identified using solvent extraction, HPLC and CI and EI-MS from urine and fecal samples. Pirogliride was metabolized in man to a small extent by oxidation of the 4-position of the phenyl ring. The monkey metabolized pirogliride mainly by oxidation of the pyrrolidine rings, while oxidation of the phenyl ring was the minor pathway. In contrast to the monkey, the rat metabolized pirogliride primarily by oxidation of the phenyl ring. The dog showed a balance of oxidation between the phenyl and pyrrolidine rings.

Detection of hypoglycemic drugs in human urine using micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) is evaluated as a potential analytical method for the separation and detection of a series of sulfonylurea drugs used in the treatment of hyperglycemia. These drugs are often surreptitiously abused, producing extremely low blood glucose levels and symptoms indistinguishable from those associated with an insulin-secreting tumor. Separation buffer containing 50 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was found to be adequate for the MEKC separation of the third generation drugs (glipizide and glyburide) but not the second generation drugs (acetohexamide chlorpropamide, tolazamide, and tolbutamide). At a pH of 8.5 in the presence of 20 mM borate/20 mM phosphate and 150 mM SDS, all seven components were adequately resolved with an analysis time of 17 min. Altering the concentration of the buffering components to either 5 mM borate/5 mM phosphate or 40 mM borate alone reduced the analysis time to less than 10 min with no observable loss in resolution. A series of other micelle-forming surfactants were evaluated, and only sodium cholate provided an improvement over the SDS-based system. Optimal separation was obtained with 75 mM sodium cholate and led to complete analysis with baseline resolution of all seven components in less than 8 min. These conditions were shown to be adequate for the detection of the hypoglycemic drugs spiked into normal urine and in patients taking these drugs. The precision associated with nine consecutive injections of six samples (n = 54) was found to be acceptable with percent coefficient of variance for absolute migration times (MTabs) for all peaks averaging 0.89 with peak area and peak height being 8.49 and 8.26, respectively. The between-sample precision was found to average 0.92% for MTabs and 8.56% and 8.45%, respectively, for the relative peak area and peak height. With a detection limit for the drugs in urine (following extraction) in the 50 ng/mL range, the potential exists for an MEKC-based assay for the detection of sulfonylurea drugs in urine.

In vitro hypoglycemic effects of different insoluble fiber-rich fractions prepared from the peel of Citrus sinensis L. cv. Liucheng.

Insoluble fiber-rich fractions (FRFs), including insoluble dietary fiber, alcohol-insoluble solid, and water-insoluble solid, were isolated from the peel of Citrus sinensis L. cv. Liucheng. We found that these three FRFs could effectively adsorb glucose, retard glucose diffusion, and inhibit the activity of alpha-amylase to different extents. These mechanisms might create a concerted benefit in decreasing the rate of glucose absorption and eventually lower the concentration of postprandial serum glucose. The potential hypoglycemic effects of these FRFs suggested that they could be incorporated as low-calorie bulk ingredients in high-fiber foods to reduce calorie level and control blood glucose level.

Oral hypoglycemic agents. Pyrimido[1,2-a]indoles and related compounds.

A series of pyrimido[1,2-a]indoles were synthesized and studied for their hypoglycemic activity following oral administration at a standard dose of 100 mg/kg to fed rats. The effect of 10-alkoxyalkyl, 10-alkyl, 10-aryl, and 3,3-dialkyl substitution on the activity of 10-hydroxypyrimido[1,2-a]indoles was investigated. Relative potencies of a number of the most active compounds were defined by three-point dose-response studies. The most potent compounds were those with either 3,3-dimethyl substituents, compounds 21, 22, and 38, or 3,3-spirocyclohexane substituents, compounds 39 and 49. 10-Aminopyrimido[1,2-a]indoles were in general less active than the 10-hydroxy analogues, and potency was further decreased by derivatizing the 10-amino group. The most potent 10-amino derivatives were 57 and 58.

Studies on antidiabetic agents. 11. Novel thiazolidinedione derivatives as potent hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic agents.

In the course of further chemical modification of the novel antidiabetic pioglitazone (AD-4833, U-72,107), a series of 5-[4-(2- or 4-azolylalkoxy)benzyl- or -benzylidene]-2,4-thiazolidinediones was prepared and evaluated for hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities in insulin-resistant, genetically obese, and diabetic KKA(y) mice. Replacement of the 2-pyridyl moiety of pioglitazone by a 2- or 4-oxazolyl or a 2- or 4-thiazolyl moiety greatly enhanced in vivo potency. The corresponding 5-benzylidene-type compounds, in which a methine was used as a linker between the benzene ring and the thiazolidinedione ring, also had potent biological activity. Among the compounds synthesized, 5-[4-[2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl)ethoxy]benzyl]-2,4- thiazolidinedione (18) exhibited the most potent activity, more than 100 times that of pioglitazone. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships for this novel series of derivatives are detailed.

N-acylphenylalanines and related compounds. A new class of oral hypoglycemic agents.

N-Benzoyl-DL-phenylalanine (1) was found to possess hypoglycemic activity. A series of the analogues of compound 1 were prepared and evaluated for their blood glucose lowering activity. Both the steric effects of the phenylalanine moiety and the effects of variations in the acyl moiety were investigated. This study elucidated some of the structure-activity relationships and led to the development of N-(4-ethylbenzoyl)-D-phenylalanine (34), which was 50 times more potent than the initial compound 1.

Chemistry and hypoglycemic activity of benzimidoylpyrazoles.

A series of benzimidoylpyrazoles was synthesized and evaluated as hypoglycemic agents. Methyl 1-(N-cyclohexylbenzimidoyl)-5-methyl-3-pyrazolecarboxylate (13) and methyl 1-[N-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzimidoyl]-5-methyl-3-pyrazolecarboxylate (33) are two of the more interesting compounds. A comparison of these benzimidoylpyrazoles with classical standards (tolazamide, phenformin, and buformin) in several experimental models show that these compounds seem to combine in one molecule some of the biological activities of the beta-cytotrophic sulfonylureas and some of the activities of the biguanides. A synthetic scheme for the preparation of the benzimidolypyrazoles and a preliminary structure-activity relationship are presented.

Synthesis and hypoglycemic activity of N-alkylated hydrazonopropionic acids.

A series of N-alkylated 2-hydrazonopropionic acids have been synthesized and evaluated for their hypoglycemic activity. Most of the compounds exhibit a remarkable blood glucose lowering activity in fasted guinea pigs. Some of the structural variables studied were the effects of branching, unsaturation, or substitution on the alkyl side chain and the effect of nuclear substitution on the aralkyl analogues. From these compounds, 2-[[(E)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-2-propenyl]hydrazono]propionic acid (BM 42.304; 42) was selected for further investigation.

(exo, exo)-2-Aryltropane-3-carboxylic esters, hypoglycemic agents with accompanying analgesic activity.

(exo, exo)-2-Aryltropane-3-carboxylic esters of types 6, 7, and 10 lower circulating blood glucose levels by 60--80%. This activity is accompanied by an analgesic activity roughly equal to that of codeine. Both of these activities reside in the 1R enantiomer and extensive structure-activity studies failed to separate them. The specific opioid antagonist nalorphine blocks the analgesic activity but does not diminish the hypoglycemic action. Conformational integrity afforded by the ethylene bridge is neccessary for the observed activities.

Sulfamylurea hypoglycemic agents. 6. High-potency derivatives.

Synthetic methods for a series of novel sulfamylurea derivatives have been developed. The hypoglycemic activity of simple 1-piperidinosulfonylureas is greatly enhanced by attaching an acylaminoethyl function in the 4 position of the piperidine ring. Optimum activity is achieved when the acyl radical is 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoyl, 2-methoxynicotinyl, 5-chloro-2-methoxynicotinyl, 1,2-dihydro-1-methyl-2-ketonicotinyl, 2,3-ethylenedioxybenzoyl, quinoline-8-carbonyl, or 6-chloroquinoline-8-carbonyl. Optimal substituents on the terminal urea nitrogen are cyclohexyl, bicycloheptenylmethyl, and in certain cases propyl, 7-oxabicycloheptanylmethyl, and adamantyl. One of these compounds (81, gliamilide) was found to be well tolerated in man and it displayed a very short plasma half-life.

Application of regression analysis to the hypoglycemic activities of a series of substituted benzenesulfonamidopyrimidines.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship studies have been performed on two types of sulfonamides with hypoglycemic activity. In the case of the 2-benzenesulfonamidopyrimidines, substituted in the 5 position of the pyrimidine ring a correlation between hydrophobic forces, expressed as Rm values, and the binding to serum albumin as well as to the heights of the equipotent dose has been found. In the series of 2-benzenesulfonamidopyrimidines additionally substituted in the 4 position of the benzene ring, however, a correlation between electronic parameters, expressed as the chemical shift of the anilide NH-(type IIA) and benzylamide NH-(type IIb) protons and the biological response was observed. This correlation indicated a charge-controlled second fixation of these molecules to the receptor. This is supported by the observation of stereospecificity of the blood-glucose lowering effect and also by the importance of a constant distance between the nitrogen in the side chain and the nitrogen atom in the sulfonamido group. The correlation between the logarithm of the biological response and the electric effects of the substituents is linear as long as one homologous series is considered. If the anilide and benzylamide derivatives are combined, a linear correlation can only be obtained if a dummy parameter is included which may account for differences in conformation within these two series of compounds.

Sulfonyliminoimidazolidines. A new class of oral hypoglycemic agents. 1. 1-[[p-[2-(acylamino)ethyl]phenyl]sulfonyl]-2-iminoimidazolidines.

A series of 1-[[p-[2-(acylamino)ethyl]phenyl]sulfonyl]-2-iminoimidazolidines has been synthesized. Compounds from this new class of oral hypoglycemic agents lower blood glucose in normal and in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Potent analogues were obtained by modification of the acyl residue. 1-[[p-[2-(Crotonylamino)ethyl]phenyl]-sulfonyl]-3-cyclohexyl-2-iminoimidazolidine (44) turned out to be the most potent compound in the normal rat (20 times tolbutamide), and 1-[[p-[2-(5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxamido)ethyl]phenyl]sulfonyl]-3-cyclohexyl-2-imino-imidazolidine (30) displayed the highest potency in the diabetic rat (similar to phenformin).
