General description

Natural product derived from plant source.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Arjunolic acid (AA) is a triterpenoid saponin that has known anti-oxidant activity. AA has also shown promise in against type 1 diabetes through its prevention of hyperglycemia induced activation of MAPKs, PKC, NF-kB signaling cascades. Arjunolic acid is beneficial in protecting again acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver and hepatocyte injury.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug and is safe at therapeutic doses but its overdose frequently causes liver injury. In earlier studies, we demonstrated that arjunolic acid (AA) has a protective effect against chemically induced hepatotoxicity.

Toxicology, 257(1-2), 53-63 (2009-01-10)
Increasing evidences in both experimental and clinical studies suggest that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic tissue damage. Pancreatic beta-cell death is the cause of decreased insulin production in diabetes. Streptozotocin (STZ) is widely used to induce
