Biological Activity
Inhibitor of α-glucosidase; antihyperglycemic. Suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia in vivo and reduces plasma glucose concentration in normal rats and in several animal models of diabetes. Shown to inhibit the loss of pancreatic β cells in type 2 diabetic rats. Also inhibits apoptosis and mitochondrial overproduction of reactive oxygen species in endothelial cells in vitro.
