| Description | Azaleatin is a natural product from Rhododendron simsii. Azaleatin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor. Azaleatin can be used for type-2 diabetes and obesity studies. |
| In vitro | A survey of leaf hydrolysates of 52 species in section Vireya of Rhododendron showed that the flavonols kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin were commonly present. However, other more characteristic Rhododendron flavonol derivatives were either rare (caryatin, Azaleatin) or absent (gossypetin). A study of the glycosides in four representative species showed that quercetin and kaempferol were present as the 3-rhamnoside, 3-glucoside, 3-galactoside or 3-rutinoside. |
