Cyanidin-3-galactoside, a natural anthocyanin, was investigated for its alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The IC(50) value of cyanidin-3-galactoside was 0.50 +/- 0.05 mM against intestinal sucrase. A low dose of cyanidin-3-galactoside showed a synergistic inhibition on intestinal alpha-glucosidase (maltase and sucrase) when combined with acarbose. A kinetic analysis showed that cyanidin-3-galactoside gave a mixed type inhibition against intestinal sucrase. The results indicated that cyanidin-3-galactoside was an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor and could be used in combination with acarbose for treatment of diabetes.

The present study explored the possible antiobesogenic and osteoprotective properties of the gut metabolite ginsenoside CK to clarify its influence on lipid and atherosclerosis pathways, thereby validating previously published hypotheses. These hypotheses were validated by harvesting and cultivating 3T3-L1 and MC3T3-E1 in adipogenic and osteogenic media with varying concentrations of CK. We assessed the differentiation of adipocytes and osteoblasts in these cell lines by applying the most effective doses of CK that we initially selected.
