Biochem/physiol Actions

Sappanine-type homoisoflavonoid, isolated from Portulaca oleracea (purslane) that exhibits anti-diabetic effects.

HM-chromanone is a sappanine-type homoisoflavonoid, isolated from Portulaca oleracea (purslane). HM-chromanone exhibits anti-diabetic effects and inhibits adipogenesis by regulating AMPK activity in adipocytes. HM-chromanone potently activates AMPK in hepatocytes, thus suppressing hepatic glucose production. HM-chromanone does not display significant toxicity.
