Isoferulic acid is a cinnamic acid derivative that has antidiabetic activity.{40026,40027} It binds to and activates ?1-adrenergic receptors (IC50 = 1.4 µM) to enhance secretion of ?-endorphin (EC50 = 52.2 nM) and increase glucose use in vitro. Isoferulic acid increases glucose uptake and enhances glycogen synthesis in isolated soleus muscles from streptozocin-induced diabetic rats.{40025} In vivo, isoferulic acid induces a dose-dependent reduction in plasma glucose levels in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. It also inhibits absorbance of intestinal maltase and sucrose via ?-glucosidase in vitro (IC50s = 760 and 450 µM, respectively).{40028}
