Biochem/physiol Actions: | Pinoresinol diglucoside has antihypertensive properties. It serves as a α-glucosidase inhibitor. α-Glucosidase catalyzes the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose in the small intestine. Hence, pinoresinol diglucoside might be useful as an antidiabetic agent. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Pinoresinol diglucoside is a potent antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. It also exerts tumor-suppressive and anti-osteoporotic properties. PDG serves as an α-glucosidase inhibitor that catalyzes the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose in the small intestine. Hence, it may serve as an antidiabetic agent in the management of diabetes. It displays neuroprotective properties by alleviating ischemic stroke-related brain injury in mice model. |
General description: | Pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) is an important lignan found in the bark of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Eucommia ulmoides, also known as Tu-Chung. It is also associated with other plants such as Forsythia suspensa and Styrax spp. In plants, PDG is produced through the phenylpropanoid pathway. |
