. The regioselective modification of the five hydroxyl groups in the silybin structure has always been a challenge. In this study, we found that silybin was an agonist of GK and PPARγ. A novel synthesis scheme of silybin derivatives was designed, and a series of novel silybin derivatives has been synthesized. The derivative
showed relatively strong activation activity for GK and PPARγ in enzyme activity and transactivation assays (GK activation fold: 1.86; PPARγ transactivation activation percentage: 90.32%). This research suggests that silybin and its derivatives could be used as novel GK and PPARγ dual-target agonists. |
