Evaluation of α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity

α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of compounds 13 and 5-8 was evaluated according to the literature experimental method (Ma et al., 2014 (link)). A mixture including 25 μl of different compounds (final concentrations of 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mM), 25 μl of α-glucosidase (0.2 U/ml, from baker’s yeast, Sigma), and 175 μl phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) was left to stand for 10 min at room temperature in a 96-well plate, and then 25 μl of 23.2 mM p-nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside (Sigma-Aldrich) was added and further incubated at 37°C for 15 min. Finally, the absorbance was measured at 405 nm to determine the amount of p-nitrophenol cleaved by the enzyme using a Synergy H1 Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc.). The control was prepared by adding phosphate buffer instead of the sample in the same way as the test. The blank was prepared by adding phosphate buffer instead of α-glucosidase using the same method. The inhibition rates (%) = [(ODcontrol − ODcontrol blank) − (ODsample – ODsample blank)]/(ODcontrol − ODcontrol blank) × 100%. Acarbose was used as the positive control with an IC50 value of 0.72 ± 0.01 mM.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
