D-mannoheptose is the main non-structural carbohydrate in avocado. D-mannoheptose is a specific inhibitor of D-glucose phosphorylation. D-mannoheptose can prevent the release of insulin and the utilization of carbohydrates in rats.
FK-614 is a selective agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. FK-614 improves peripheral glucose utilization while decreases hepatic insulin extraction in alloxan-induced diabetic dogs.
yGsy2p-IN-H23 is a potent, first-in-class inhibitor specifically designed to target yeast glycogen synthase 2 (yGsy2p). It demonstrates an IC50 value of 875 μM for human glycogen synthase 1 (hGYS1). This compound binds precisely within the uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG) binding pocket of yGsy2p. Its utilization in research primarily focuses on studying glycogen storage diseases (GSDs).
