| Abstract | Diabetes is a metabolic disease with the characteristic of high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). In our previous study, we found that nigelladines A-C (compounds A-C), three norditerpenoid alkaloids from the seeds of Nigella glandulifera Freyn (Ranunculaceae) exhibited protein of tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity in vitro. In the present study, we further investigated their anti-diabetes activities in L6 moytubes and illuminated the mechanisms of action of compounds A-C. Several parameters of glucose metabolism such as glucose consumption, glycogen content and hexokinase activity were increased by compounds A-C. The results suggested that compounds A-C improved glucose metabolism through promoting synthesis of glycogen. Expression of PTP1B protein was inhibited by compounds A-C in L6 moytubes. PI3K-dependent Akt phosphorylation was found to be activated by compounds A-C and completely blocked by wortmannin (a PI3K inhibitor). Moreover, the insulin-mediated induction of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and glycogen synthase kinase-3ß (GSK-3ß) were also suppressed by wortmannin. Western blot results indicated that compounds A-C-induced IRS-1/Akt activation was likely a consequence of PTP1B inhibition. Compounds A-C promoted glycogen synthesis through Akt-mediated GSK3 phosphorylation. Therefore, activation of PI3K/Akt insulin signaling pathway and suppression of PTP1B is the molecular mechanism that contributes to the anti-diabetic effect of compounds A-C in cellular models. The three alkaloids potentially serve as lead compounds for the development of antidiabetic drugs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
