title: Synthesis and antihyperglycemic evaluation of various protoberberine derivatives.
abstract: Various berberine derivatives (2-17) were synthesized and their antihyperglycemic activities were evaluated in a model of beta-cell-membrane chromatography and a model of alloxan-induced diabetes mice. The results indicated that compounds 5 and 14 exhibited antihyperglycemic activity. Their structure-activity relationships were discussed.
