In our efforts to develop safe and active chemical entities from nature, we first identified poliothrysoside (1), a phytoconstituent isolated from Flacourtia indica, possessing antidiabetic potential. Subsequently, fifteen derivatives (2-16) were synthesized to assess the activity profile of this class. All the compounds were analyzed for their glucose uptake potency in chronic insulin-induced insulin resistant 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Interestingly, compound 2 exhibited strong ability to increase the insulin sensitivity, primarily activating the AMPK signaling pathway and also inhibited the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, in concentration dependent manner. Overall, these studies suggest the potential of poliothrysoside and its derivatives as promising leads for non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes (T2D). (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.
