Glucosidase

Deoxynojirimycin is a Maltase-glucoamylase (a-glucosidase I and II) inhibitor. It interferes with N-linked glycosylation.

Voglibose is an N-substituted derivative of valiolamine, excellent inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidases and its action against hyperglycemia and various disorders caused by hyperglycemia.

Hexylresorcinol (4-Hexylresorcinol) is a natural compound found in plants with antimicrobial, anthelmintic, antiseptic and antitumor activities. Hexylresorcinol can induce apoptosis in squamous carcinoma cells. Hexylresorcinol is a reversible and noncompetitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase. Hexylresorcinol has protective effects against oxidative DNA damage.

Butyl isobutyl phthalate is isolated from the rhizoid of Laminaria japonica. Butyl isobutyl phthalate is a non-competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 38 μM.
