2. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-glucosidase_inhibitor

   Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are oral anti-diabetic drugs used for diabetes mellitus type 2 that work by preventing the digestion of carbohydrates (such as starch and table sugar). Carbohydrates are normally converted into simple sugars (monosaccharides) by alpha-glucosidase enzymes present on cells lining the intestine, enabling ...

3. α-Glucosidase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Glucosidase

   It is defined as "catalysis of the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing alpha-linked alpha-D-glucose residue with release of alpha-D-glucose." In this sense, "alpha-glucosidase" can encompass a wide range of enzyme activitiess, differing by the linkage of their terminal (1→3, 1→4, or 1→6), the specific identity of their substrate (sucrose ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_medication

   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 ...

5. Glucosidases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucosidases

   Function. Alpha-glucosidases are enzymes involved in breaking down complex carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen into their monomers. [2] They catalyze the cleavage of individual glucosyl residues from various glycoconjugates including alpha- or beta-linked polymers of glucose. This enzyme convert complex sugars into simpler ones.

   Voglibose. Voglibose (INN and USAN, trade name Voglib, marketed by Mascot Health Series) is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor used for lowering postprandial blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus. [1] Voglibose is a research product of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Japan's largest pharmaceutical company.
