Traditional medicines, including Chinese prescriptions, have attracted much attention due to their extensive and unique biological activities without toxic and/or side effects. We evaluated the effects of hachimijiogan and identified its active compound ameliorating diabetic renal damage using a type 1 diabetic nephropathy rat model which underwent a subtotal nephrectomy plus streptozotocin injection, and Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats as a model of human type 2 diabetes and its complications. Hachimijiogan treatment decreased the levels of glucose-induced oxidative stress, advanced glycation endproduct formation, renal protein overexpression, and proteinuria. These results indicate that hachimijiogan is a potential therapeutic agent in the development of type 1 and 2 diabetic nephropathy. Furthermore, according to the identification of the active component of the crude drug, Corni Fructus, 7-O-galloyl-D-sedoheptulose is considered to be the most important contributor to prevent and/or delay the onset of diabetic renal damage. 7-O-Galloyl-D-sedoheptulose is expected to provide a novel therapeutic strategy against the development of diabetic nephropathy.
