| In vitro study | Nepodin (Musizin) exhibits significant IC 50 values that are 0.74 and 0.79 μg/ml against P. falciparum chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and P. falciparum chloroquine-resistant (S20), respectively. |
| In vivo study | Nepodin (Musizin) (orally administration; 2-10 mg/kg; 4 weeks) improves the impaired glucose tolerance of db/db mice, also decreases an increase in plasma insulin concentration of db/db mice in a dose-dependent manner. Animal Model: C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice Dosage: 2 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg Administration: Orally administration; 2-10 mg/kg; 4 weeks Result: Had antihyperglycemic potential and improved insulin resistance. |
| biological activity | Nepodin (Musizin) is a quinone oxidoreductase (PfNDH2) inhibitor, isolated from Rumex crispus. Nepodin (Musizin) stimulates the transport of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane by activating AMPK. Nepodin (Musizin) has anti-diabetic and anti-malarial effects. |
