Abstract

It is demonstrated that natural product vindoline can enhance the glucose-stimulated Insulin secretion (GSIS) in MIN6 cells with the EC50 value of 50.2μM. In order to improve the activities, a series of vindoline derivatives are synthesized and evaluated in MIN6 cells. Compounds 4, 8, 17 and 24 show about 4.5 times more effective stimulation Insulin secretion ability (EC50: 10.4, 14.2, 11.0 and 12.7μM, respectively) than vindoline.
