α-Glucosidase inhibitors isolated from medicinal plants

Abstract: Objective: α-Glucosidase inhibitors can be used as a new class of antidiabetic drug. By competitively inhibiting glycosidase activity, these inhibitors help to prevent the fast breakdown of sugars and thereby control the blood sugar level. This study provides a wealth of information about α-glucosidase inhibitors isolated from medicinal plants; this knowledge will be useful in finding more potent antidiabetic candidates from the natural resources for the clinical development of antidiabetic therapeutics.

“…Compounds 16, 17, and 19 have all previously been reported as α-glucosidase inhibitors [42,43], but this is the first report of the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 20, 26, and 29. Compounds 16, 19, 20, 26, and 29 all showed higher α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the clinically approved antidiabetic drug acarbose (Table 1), which supports the use of Eremanthus as an antidiabetic herbal medicine.…”

“…In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to natural products as inhibitory ligands of the α -glucosidase enzyme. 5,6 However, the chemical complexity of, for example, plant extracts makes identification and characterization of inhibitory ligands from these complex mixtures a challenging and time-consuming task.…”

“…As a standard, acarbose has lower binding energy and inhibition constant (ΔG =-8.16 kcal/mol, Ki = 0.02 µM) than miglitol and voglibose. Acarbose as α-glucosidase inhibitor, can effectively control blood glucose levels after food intake and have been used clinically in the treatment of diabetes mellitus [22]. β-sitosterol was shown as the molecule to have the lowest binding energy (ΔG =-10.61 kcal/mol) and inhibition constant (Ki = 0.02 µM).…”
