Abstract

Tiliroside isolated from Chinese herb Potentilla chinensis showed therapeutic activities in diabetes. We synthesized 7 tiliroside-derivatives and examined their effects on surface GLUT4myc levels in muscle cells. Derivatives 2a and 3 increased surface GLUT4myc levels, and derivative 3 has the greatest potential. AMPK may be involved in tiliroside-derivatives-regulated GLUT4myc traffic.
