DNJ

No summary available for this substance.

DNJ

1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is a glucose analog that acts as a glycosidase inhibitor and is found in significant quantities in mulberry leaves. It has been researched for its potential antidiabetic, antiviral, and antiobesity effects. DNJ inhibits glycosidase enzymes, which are involved in the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines.

Category: Bioactive Compound
Molecular Formula: C6H13NO4
Mechanism of Action: DNJ works by inhibiting enzymes called glycosidases in the intestines, which are responsible for the digestion of complex carbohydrates into glucose. This inhibition can slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, thereby potentially lowering blood sugar levels.
Evidence Grade: C - Unclear or conflicting scientific evidence

Other Names

1-Deoxynojirimycin
Morus alba extract

Primary Benefits

Potential antidiabetic effects
Possible antiviral activity
Potential antiobesity properties

Recommended Dosage

Adult	There is no standard dose for DNJ. Typically, studies have used doses ranging from 0.2 to 1 g/day.
Child	Use in children is not recommended due to lack of research.

Side Effects

Gastrointestinal upset
Possible hypoglycemia

Precautions

Should not be used by individuals with hypoglycemia without medical supervision.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid use due to lack of safety data.

Interactions

May interact with diabetes medications, potentially enhancing their effects and increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
