Plant specialized metabolism serves as a rich resource of biologically active molecules for drug discovery. The acylated flavonol glycoside montbretin A (MbA) and its precursor myricetin 3-O-(6'-O-caffeoyl)-glucosyl rhamnoside (mini-MbA) are potent inhibitors of human pancreatic α-amylase and are
Epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes drive strong consumer interest in plant-based low calorie sweeteners. Trilobatin (phloretin-4'-O-glucoside) is a sweetener found at high concentrations in the leaves of a range of crabapple (Malus) species, but not in domesticated apple (M. × domestica)
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects over 320 million people worldwide. Healthy lifestyles, improved drugs and effective nutraceuticals are different components of a response against the growing T2D epidemic. The specialized metabolite montbretin A (MbA) is being developed for treatment of T2D and obesity
The plant metabolite montbretin A (MbA) and its precursor mini-MbA are potential new drugs for treating type 2 diabetes. These complex acylated flavonol glycosides only occur in small amounts in the corms of the ornamental plant montbretia (Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora). Our goal is to
