The Novel Gluconeogenesis Inhibitors FR225659 and Related Compounds that Originate from Helicomyces sp. No. 19353 II. Biological Profiles

Abstract

The novel gluconeogenesis inhibitor FR225659 and four related compounds were isolated from the cultured broth of a fungal strain No. 19353. These compounds inhibited the glucagon-stimulated gluconeogenesis of rat primary hepatocytes and had hypoglycemic effects in two different in vivo models.
