What is moronic acid?

Description

Yes, there’s really a molecule with this name. Moronic acid is a triterpene that can be extracted from the hemiparasitic mistletoe plant (Phoradendron reichenbachianum), among other species. It is cytotoxic, which is perhaps the origin of the mistletoe legend. A moronic acid derivative has shown activity against some HIV strains.

The Uses of moronic acid

Moronic Acid and its derivatives can have antidiabetic activity by inhibiting PTP-1B. Moronic Acid is also shown sustained antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic action possibly mediated by an insulin sensitization in rat models.
