moronic acid

Moronic acid shows oral therapeutic efficacy in HSV-infected mice and possessed novel anti-HSV activity. It also shows significant anti-HIV activity (EC(50) 186) and was modified to develop more potent anti-AIDS agents. Moronic acid is a new structural lead for anti-EBV drug development, can substantially reduce the numbers of EBV particles produced by the cells after lytic induction. Morolic and moronic acids 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 as indicated by in vitro.
