Collection: α-Glucosidase Inhibitors
α-Glucosidase Inhibitors — contains compounds that structurally include iminosugar derivatives, modified oligosaccharides, and phenolic acids, such as voglibose, acarbose, miglitol, 1-deoxynojirimycin, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid. This class of compounds is studied for its ability to interact with the enzyme alpha-glucosidase in carbohydrate biochemistry research.
Compounds such as Acarbose, Miglitol, and 1-Deoxynojirimycin are used by biochemistry and pharmacology researchers in in vitro alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition assays and in carbohydrate metabolism studies in obesity and diabetes research. Phenolic acids such as Chlorogenic Acid and Caffeic Acid are also used as reference compounds in natural product-based enzymatic activity screening.
Examples of products in this collection: TCI V0119 83480-29-9 Voglibose, TCI C0002 331-39-5 Caffeic Acid, TCI A2485 56180-94-0 Acarbose, TCI C0181 327-97-9 Chlorogenic Acid, TCI M2302 72432-03-2 Miglitol, TCI D5612 19130-96-2 1-Deoxynojirimycin.
Note the structural class of the compounds (iminosugars vs. oligosaccharides vs. phenolic acids), as it affects the mechanism of interaction with the enzyme as well as the in vitro assay methods used in experiments. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
