Notes: Benzomalvin A is a fungal metabolite produced by Penicillium.{43022,38039} It inhibits yeast α-glucosidase in vitro (IC50 = 383.2 μM).{43022} In vivo, benzomalvin A (3.1-31.6 mg/kg) decreases plasma glucose levels in mice following administration of sucrose. It also decreases the plasma glucose postprandial peak in nicotinamide-streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic mice when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Benzomalvin A also acts as an antagonist of neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors, inhibiting binding of substance P (Item No. 24035) to guinea pig, rat, and human NK1 (Kis = 12, 42, and 43 μM, respectively).{38039}
