Cinchonine
CINCHONINE, a natural alkaloid from cinchona bark, is commonly used as a catalyst in chemical synthesis, including pesticide production, and as a chiral reagent in asymmetric synthesis.
Function of Cinchonine:
Cinchonine serves multiple functions, including acting as a catalyst in pesticide production, preventing high-fat-diet-induced obesity, exhibiting antiplatelet properties, and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation.
Effect of Cinchonine:
Cinchonine effectively ameliorated hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia induced by the HFD; cholesterol, LDL+VLDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, TG, and the plasma glucose levels were reduced in CID group compared to HFD group.
