Description
Voglibose is a competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor (IC50 = 5.6 μM) that was first isolated from S. hygroscopicus. It has been shown to delay the absorption and digestion of dietary polysaccharides by reversibly inhibiting digestive enzymes such as maltase, isomaltase, and sucrase with IC50 values of 0.18, 5.2, and 0.37 μM, respectively. Voglibose is also reported to increase glucagon-like peptide 1 release. In clinical trials, voglibose has been used to inhibit postprandial hyperglycemia associated with diabetes without cardiovascular complications.
