3,7-Di-O-methylquercetin shows α-glucosidase inhibition.

Secretin (swine), a neuroendocrine hormone, is the first hormone to be identifie and is secreted by S cells that are localized primarily in the mucosa of the duodenum. Secretin also is a 27-amino acid peptide, which acts on secretin receptors. Secretin is expressed by cells in all mature enteroendocrine cell subsets and can be prompted by fatty acids. Secretin stimulates the secretion of pancreatic water and bicarbonate. Secretin exerts various effects in organs, can be used for the research of digestive system, central nervous system and energy metabolism.

Potent GPR37L1 and GPR37 agonist (EC50 values are 5 and 7 nM, respectively). Stimulates signaling through pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. Stimulates ERK phosphorylation. Protects against cellular stress. Promotes myelin lipid synthesis and prolongs cell survival in both Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes; neuroprotective and glioprotective.
