Morolic acid - CAS 559-68-2

Morolic acid and moronic acid have shown sustained antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic action possibly mediated by an insulin sensitization with consequent changes of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, in part mediated by inhibition of 11β-HSD 1. Morolic acid exhibits pronounced radical scavenging activity against the stable 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and is a potent inhibitor of neutrophil elastase and cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in vitro. Morolic acid has anti- inflammatory activity, it can inhibit leukotriene B4 production in rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes stimulated with calcium ionophore A 23187. Morolic acid exhibits promising anti-HIV activity, it also exhibits moderate inhibitory activity against glycogen phosphorylase.
