The uncontrolled hyperglycemia that characterizes diabetes mellitus (DM) causes several complications in the organism. DM is among major of deaths, and limited efficacy current treatments push search for novel drug candidates, also natural compounds. We focused our attention on caffeoylmalic acid, a phenolic derivative extracted from Urtica dioica, plant investigated its potential against type 2 DM. This compound was tested antidiabetic activity vitro through glucose uptake assay, vivo mouse...

Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) regulates skeletal and soft tissue mineralization by hydrolyzing nucleotide triphosphates cyclic nucleotides, is involved in the modulation of immune system. In fact, ENPP1 degrades 2′,3′-cyclic GMP-AMP dinucleotide (2′,3′-cGAMP), which an agonist surface receptor stimulator interferon genes (STING), thus downregulating response. Consequently, inhibitors are being studied as adjuvant agents infections cancer. Pistacia chinensis a...
