Rubusoside

Rubusoside is a diterpene glycoside that is also a sweetener and solubilizer with anti-angiogenic, anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic effects. Rubusoside attenuates airway hyperresponsiveness and reduces inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), reducing OVA -induced airway inflammation. Rubusoside also prevents palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity in pancreatic INS-1 cells, reduces the transport of human glucose transporters GLUT-1 and fructose GLUT-5, and inhibits NF-κB and α-amylase (α-amylase)[2][3][4].
