Abstract
α-Glucosidase (AG) inhibitors, one of the classes of oral antidiabetics used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, delay digestion and absorption of glucose, which in turn, has a lowering effect on postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels. Natural products are a great source for the development of new AG inhibitory drug candidates. We aim to summarize advances in natural AG inhibitors according to their secondary metabolite groups in the last decade. Their mechanisms of action and structure–activity relationships will especially be discussed.
期刊介绍:
eFood is the official journal of the International Association of Dietetic Nutrition and Safety (IADNS) which eFood aims to cover all aspects of food science and technology. The journal’s mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge of food science, and to promote and foster research into the chemistry, nutrition and safety of food worldwide, by supporting open dissemination and lively discourse about a wide range of the most important topics in global food and health.
The Editors welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, mini review, highlights, news, short reports, perspectives and correspondences on both experimental work and policy management in relation to food chemistry, nutrition, food health and safety, etc. Research areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
● Food chemistry
● Nutrition
● Food safety
● Food and health
● Food technology and sustainability
● Food processing
● Sensory and consumer science
● Food microbiology
● Food toxicology
● Food packaging
● Food security
● Healthy foods
● Super foods
