Product Data:
Biological target: Nepodin (Musizin) is a quinone oxidoreductase (PfNDH2) inhibitor.
In vitro activity: Nepodin effectively inhibited C. albicans biofilm formation without affecting its planktonic cell growth. Also, Rumex-root extract and nepodin both inhibited hyphal growth and cell aggregation of C. albicans. Interestingly, nepodin also showed antibiofilm activities against Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii strains and against dual biofilms of C. albicans and S. aureus or A. baumannii but not against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Reference: ACS Infect Dis. 2019 Jul 12;5(7):1177-1187. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31055910/
In vivo activity: In in vivo study, nepodin suppressed the increases in fasting blood glucose levels and improved the glucose intolerance of C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice, a type 2 diabetic animal model. Nepodin rescued the impaired phosphorylation of AMPK in the skeletal muscle of db/db mice. Reference: Biofactors. 2014 Jul-Aug;40(4):436-47. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24756979/
