Abstract :
Several oximes of triterpenes with a 17-β hydroxyl and abietane derivatives are inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) activity. The oxime 12 and dehydroabietyl amine 2 exhibit a blood glucose lowering effect in the diabetic ob/ob mouse after a single oral dose of 100 μmol/kg. However, the mechanism of the blood glucose lowering effect is likely unrelated to PDK inhibition.
