Figure 1From: A novel hydroxyfuroic acid compound as an insulin receptor activator structure and activity relationship of a prenylindole moiety to insulin receptor activationActive receptor tyrosine kinase activators. Demethylasterriquinone B1 is extracted from tropical fungus, Pseudomassaria sp., and can be transformed to hydroxyfuroic acid which still retains insulin receptor activation capability. Compound 2 and D-410639 are derived from Demethylasterriquinone B1 and hydroxyfuroic acid, respectively.Back to article page
