摘要:
A method of inhibiting steroid sulphatase activity in a subject in need of same is described. The method comprises administering to said subject a steroid sulphatase inhibiting amount of a ring system compound; which ring system compound comprises a ring to which is attached sulphamate group of the formula wherein each of R1 and R2 is independently selected from H, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl and aryl, or together represent alkylene optionally containing one or more hetero atoms or groups in the alkylene chain; and wherein said compound is an inhibitor of an enzyme having steroid sulphatase activity (E.C.3.1.6.2); and if the sulphamate group of said compound is replaced with a sulphate group to form a sulphate compound and incubated with a steroid sulphatase enzyme (E.C.3.1.6.2) at a pH 7.4 and 37° C. it would provide a Km value of less than 50 &mgr;M.

Embodiments involve using smart contracts in a decentralized network as a framework for a smart city commodity exchange. In at least one embodiment, consumers and service providers negotiate terms and conditions of a smart contract for providing goods or services to the consumer. The service provider may provide all requested goods and services or bundle goods and services provided from multiple vendors. Verification of smart contract fulfillment may be assisted by information from sensors or other independent data collection. The service provider may provide discounted services in exchange for information to provide to a third party. Resources of both the consumer and service provide are committed during smart contract negotiations until completion of the smart contract, or rejection of the offered terms. Resource commitments, smart contract generation, performance of the smart contract and intermediate transactions are recorded in public ledgers according to Blockchain protocols. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A novel hypoglycemically active triterpenoid compound isolated in purified, preferably substantially purified, form from Salacia spp., processes for obtaining the novel triterpenoid compound, compositions comprising the triterpenoid compound and methods for use a hypoglycemic agent, for example, in the treatment of diabetes, are described. In a preferred embodiment, the triterpenoid compound is obtained from Salacia prinoides. As an agent for the treatment of diabetes, the novel triterpenoid is useful for treating insulin-dependent (type I) and/or non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes.
