    In this study, we examined the antihyperglycemic and antidiabetic effects of a novel synthesized molecule, the Ethyl (S)-2-(1-cyclohexylsulfamide carbamoyloxy) propanoate (ESP1b), in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Experimental diabetes mellitus was produced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (55 mg/kg b.w.). Seven day post-injection, animals have received ESP1b orally at the doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg b.w. daily for 28 days. This resulted in a clear decline, in a dose dependent manner, of blood glucose levels during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the four weeks of treatment period. ESP1b at 20 mg/kg b.w. has alleviated body weight loss, improved plasma insulin concentration and at the same time markedly decreased the values of glycosylated hemoglobin, lipoproteins and atherogenic ratios. Additionally, ESP1b notably restored renal as well as hepatic functions tests. Histopathological examinations of pancreatic tissue also confirmed the previous biochemical findings. Considering the obtained results, it may be concluded that ESP1b possess a potent antihyperglycemic activity in STZ-diabetic rats possibly related to an insulin-secretagogue effect, which may be responsible for the moderate decrease in blood glucose concentration observed in normal rats administrated with this tested compound.
