Bioactivity | Saudin, derived from Clutia lanceolata, is a hypoglycemic compound that significantly enhances glucose-triggered insulin release from murine pancreatic islets. It belongs to a group of new diterpenoids with a distinct tetracyclic core, suggesting potential as a therapeutic agent for diabetes treatment. Proposed biosynthetic pathways outline alternative cyclization routes from a common precursor, with Lanceolide P (16) identified as a promising lead compound for further development in managing diabetes[1]. |
