Abstract
Three polyacetylenic glucosides isolated from the methanol extract of Bidens species were tested for their bioactivities using db/db mice, a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Compound 2, cytopiloyne, showed both anti-hyperglycemic and insulin-releasing activities to a greater extent than compounds 1 or 3.
