Voglibose , 伏格列波糖

Voglibose is a competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor (IC50 = 5.6 µM) that was first isolated from S. hygroscopicus. It has been shown to delay the absorption and digestion of dietary polysaccharides by reversibly inhibiting digestive enzymes such as maltase, isomaltase, and sucrase with IC50 values of 0.18, 5.2, and 0.37 µM, respectively. Voglibose is also reported to increase glucagon-like peptide 1 release. In clinical trials, voglibose has been used to inhibit postprandial hyperglycemia associated with diabetes without cardiovascular complications.

Voglibose is a valiolamine derivative and inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase with antihyperglycemic activity. Voglibose binds to and inhibits alpha-glucosidase, an enteric enzyme found in the brush border of the small intestines that hydrolyzes oligosaccharides and disaccharides into glucose and other monosaccharides. This prevents the breakdown of larger carbohydrates into glucose and decreases the rise in postprandial blood glucose levels.

Voglibose, also known as basen or glustat, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aminocyclitols. These are cyclitols with at least one hydroxyl group replace by an amino group. Voglibose is a drug which is used for the treatment of diabetes. it is specifically used for lowering post-prandial blood glucose levels thereby reducing the risk of macrovascular complications. Voglibose is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Voglibose has been detected in multiple biofluids, such as urine and blood.

Voglibose is an organic molecular entity.

Voglibose is a competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase used for the control of blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The compound binds reversibly to intestinal carbohydrate-active digestive enzymes with α-glucosidase activity, inhibits breakdown of complex sugars and consequently delays the absorption of glucose into blood.
