DJ-V-159 at the dose of 10 mg/kg reduces blood glucose levels in wildtype mice at 60 and 90 minutes after intraperitoneal administration of 10 mg/kg, whereas the vehicle (95% PEG + 5% DMSO) has no effect on blood glucose. DJ-V-159 reduces blood glucose levels in wild-type mice by 43.6% and 41.9% at 60 and 90 minutes, respectively, after intraperitoneal administration of 10 mg/kg. The mice tolerated this short-term exposure to DJ-V-159 without any overt side-effects. DJ-V-159, however, is almost in or on the boundary of the Lipinski's Rule of Five.
