α-Glucosidase (α-D-Glucosidase) is a carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme that catalyzes the release of α-glucose from the non-reducing end of the substrate. It plays a vital role in facilitating glucose absorption by the small intestine. Inhibiting α-Glucosidase effectively manages non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
α-Glucosidase-IN-9 (compound 7) is a highly potent α-glucosidase inhibitor with an IC50 of 55.6 μM, making it suitable for type II diabetes research [1].
α-Glucosidase-IN-16 is a highly effective and orally bioavailable inhibitor of α-glucosidase, displaying a remarkable IC50 value of 3.28 μM. This compound demonstrates the ability to significantly decrease blood glucose levels in diabetic rats induced by Streptozotocin. Notably, α-Glucosidase-IN-16 also exhibits noteworthy antidiabetic activity [1].
α-Glucosidase-IN-20 (Compound 3B) is a highly effective and orally active inhibitor of α-glucosidase. It exhibits potent anti-diabetic properties, as evidenced by its IC50 value of 3.01 μM [1].
α-Glucosidase-IN-15 (Compound 14B) exhibits potent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase, with an IC50 value of 3.34 μM. It possesses antidiabetic properties [1].
α-Glucosidase-IN-18 (7B) is an orally active inhibitor of α-glucosidase, displaying an IC 50 value of 3.96 μM. This compound exhibits antidiabetic properties [1].
α-Amylase/α-Glucosidase-IN-2 (compound 5) exhibits strong inhibition activity towards both α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, with IC 50 values of 13.02 μM and 13.09 μM, respectively. This compound shows promise for investigating diabetic complications [1].
α-Glucosidase-IN-21 (Compound 2B) is a highly potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of α-glucosidase. With an impressive IC50 value of 2.62 μM, this compound exhibits remarkable anti-diabetic properties [1].
