In patients with diabetes mellitus type 1, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors use has not been officially approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the US but some data exists on the effectiveness in this population, showing potential benefits weighted against an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are a class of diabetes drugs found in plants/herbs like cinnamon; [3] however, they are technically not hypoglycemic agents because they do not have a direct effect on insulin secretion or sensitivity. These agents slow the digestion of starch in the small intestine, such that glucose from the starch enters the ...

Miglitol is an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.It works by reversibly inhibiting alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the small intestine, which delays the digestion of complex carbohydrates and subsequently reduces postprandial glucose levels. [1]
Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and newly-approved Zepbound have become part of the public lexicon in 2023. Though Ozempic is FDA-approved for diabetes management, Wegovy and Zepbound are sought-after ...
Hence, α-glucosidase inhibitors (like acarbose) are used as anti-diabetic drugs in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs. Luteolin has been found to be a strong inhibitor of α-glucosidase. The compound can inhibit the enzyme up to 36% with a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. [ 21 ] As of 2016, this substance is being tested in rats, mice and ...
Alpha glucosidase inhibitors delay glucose absorption at the intestine level and thereby prevent sudden surge of glucose after a meal. [2] There are three major drugs which belong to this class, acarbose, miglitol and voglibose, [2] of which voglibose is the newest.
