A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON THE HYPOGLYCEMIC POTENTIAL OF PRENYLATED CHALCONES COMMON IN ASHITABA CHALCONE POWDER (ACP) THAT MODULATES THE NRF2-ARE-KEAP1 PATHWAY Authors: Sreeganga S , MERLIN N.J, ASHEETA A, GAYATRI S.N AND PARVATHY SURESH
ABSTRACT
Prenylated chalcones, such as 4-Hydroxy-derricin (4-HD) and Xanthoangelol (XA),
are abundant in Ashitaba Chalcone Powder (ACP), have significant hypoglycemic potential.
The chalcones acts by upregulating insulin signalling by inhibiting PTP1B, inducing Glut4-
dependent glucose absorption via the LKB1/AMPK pathway, upregulating adiponectin and
inhibiting ?-glucosidase and DPP-IV, differentiating 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes
via the AMPK pathway, and causing inflammation brought on by hyperglycemia. This
review emphasises the Nrf2-ARE-Keap1 pathway-mediated hypoglycemic action of 4-HD
and XA
