Novel diphenylethylene compounds and derivatives thereof containing thiazolidinedione or oxazolidinedione moieties are provided which are effective in lowering blood glucose level, serum insulin, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels in animal models of Type II diabetes. The compounds are disclosed as useful for a variety of treatments including the treatment of inflammation, inflammatory and immunological diseases, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Heterocyclic analogs of diphenylethylene compounds

Novel diphenylethylene compounds and derivatives thereof containing thiazolidinedione or oxazolidinedione moieties are provided which are effective in lowering blood glucose level, serum insulin, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels in animal models of Type II diabetes. In contrast to previously reported thiazolidinedione compounds, known to lower leptin levels, the present compounds increase leptin levels and have no known liver toxicity. The compounds are disclosed as useful for a variety of treatments including the treatment of inflammation, inflammatory and immunological diseases, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Compounds are provided that lower blood glucose concentrations, lower serum triglyceride concentrations, lower systolic blood pressure, and increase glucose uptake by adipose tissue, but do not affect the expression of PPAR-&#x3b3; by adipose tissue.

Compounds to treat diabetes and associated conditions

A water soluble extract ofnamed MC6, methods for its preparation and methods for its use in the treatment of hyperglycemic disorders are provided. The active MC6 is characterized by moving as a single band on SDS-PAGE having a molecular weight of less than 10 kDal, and by comprising three peptides. Also provided is a peptide component of MC6 named MC6.1, as well as analogues and mimetics thereof. The active MC6, MC 6.1, MC6.2, and MC6.3 exhibit hypoglycemic activity, even following oral administration. Also provided are methods of using the active agents to treat hyperglycemic disorders, particularly diabetes, where the active agents are preferably orally administered.

Orally active fraction of momordica charantia, active peptides thereof, and their use in the treatment of diabetes

Novel diphenylethylene and styrenes are provided which are administered orally to decrease blood glucose levels in rats. The glucose tolerance in insulin resistant rats is also shown, as well as lowering of triglyceride levels in serum insulin resistant, hyperinsulinemic and hypertriglycedemic rats. The compounds are orally effective anti-diabetic agents that potentially may reduce abnormality of glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetes.

Diphenylethylene compounds

Compounds are provided that lower blood glucose concentrations, lower serum triglyceride concentrations, lower systolic blood pressure, and increase glucose uptake by adipose tissue, but do not affect the expression of PPAR-&ggr; by adipose tissue.

A diphenylethylene is provided which is administered orally to decrease blood glucose levels in rats. The compound is an effective anti-diabetic agent that can reduce abnormality of glucose metabolism in diabetes.

1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylene for diabetes treatment

A water soluble extract of named MC6, methods for its preparation and methods for its use in the treatment of hyperglycemic disorders are provided. The active MC6 is characterized by moving as a single band on SDS-PAGE having a molecular weight of less than 10 kDal, and by comprising tree peptides. Also provided is a peptide component of MC6 named MC6.1, as well as analogues and mimetics thereof. The active MC6, MC6.1, MC6.2, and MC6.3 exhibit hypoglycemic activity, even following oral administration. Also provided are methods of using the active agents to treat hyperglycemic disorders, particularly diabetes, where the active agents are preferably orally administered.

Novel diphenylethylene compounds containing thiazolidinedione or oxazolidinedione moieties are provided which are effective in lowering blood glucose level, serum insulin, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels in animal models of Type II diabetes. In contrast to previously reported thiazolidine compounds, known to lower leptin levels, the present compound increase leptin levels and have no known liver toxicity.

A water soluble extract of M.charantia named MC6, methods for its preparation and methods for its use in the treatment of hyperglycemic disorders are provided. The active MC6 is characterized by moving as a single band on SDS-PAGE having a molecular weight of less than 10 kDal, and by comprising three peptides. Also provided is a peptide component of MC6 named MC6.1, as well as analogues and mimetics thereof. The active MC6, MC6.1, MC6.2, and MC6.3 exhibit hypoglycemic activity, even following oral administration. Also provided are methods of using the active agents to treat hyperglycemic disorders, particularly diabetes, where the active agents are preferably orally administered.
