Gitogenin
Cat. No.
A75047
CAS
511-96-6
Glucosidase Inhibitor
Gitogenin is a natural steroid derived from the plant Tribulus longipetalus, serving as a selective inhibitor of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4) and α-glucosidase. It exhibits an IC50 of 0.69 μM for UGT1A4 using trifluoperazine as a substrate, and an IC50 of 37.2 μM for α-glucosidase. Gitogenin does not interfere with the activities of major human cytochrome P450 isoforms, making it a valuable reagent for studies in metabolic enzyme pathways and potential therapeutic applications related to glycemic control.
