Acarbose, also known as BAY g 5421, is an α-glucosidase inhibitor that prevents absorption of sucrose and maltose. This compound has been found to delay digestion of complex disaccharides and carbohydrates. Further studies suggest that this compound can stimulate phosphorylase kinase (PhK) by binding to the glucoamylase-like domain new the amino termini and causing an alteration in the structure.An α-glucosidase inhibitorApplication:Acarbose, a derivitized maltotriose antidiabetic drug, is a reversible α-glucosidase inhibitor used in medical studies to control the effects of Type II diabetes. Acarbose is often used as a reference to which other α-glucosidase inhibitors are compared.
