This was a post-hoc analysis using data from a 52-week, open-label, parallel-group trial, in which patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with a single OAD (α-glucosidase inhibitor, glinide, metformin or thiazolidinedione) were randomized to either pretrial OAD in combination with liraglutide 0.9 mg/day (liraglutide group) or pretrial OAD in combination with an additional OAD (additional OAD group).
Forty-five patients with T2DM who had inadequate glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin ≥ 6.5%) with diet and exercise alone (n = 15, drug naïve) and in combination with either a stable dose of the α-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose (n = 15) or metformin (n = 15) received canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, at 100 mg once daily for 12 weeks.
Glitazones and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors as the second-line oral anti-diabetic agents added to metformin reduce cardiovascular risk in Type 2 diabetes patients: a nationwide cohort observational study.
To compare the treatment satisfaction of four classes of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs): dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, α-glucosidase inhibitors (αGI), biguanides (BG) and sulfonylureas (SU), which are common initial treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Japan, and to identify the best oral hypoglycemic agent in terms of treatment satisfaction.
The in vitro inhibitory effects of 50% ethanolic extract and CAD on α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) linked with type 2 diabetes were also investigated.
α-Amylase and α-glucosidase are targets of anti-diabetes drugs, our findings suggest that compounds purified from bitter melon may have potential to use as functional food ingredients for the prevention of type 2 diabetes and related inflammatory conditions.
Anti-Lipid Peroxidation, α-Glucosidase and α-Amylase Inhibitory Effects of the Extract of Capitula of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. and Protection Effects on High-Fat/High-Sugar and Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetes in Mice.
Delaying the absorption of glucose through α-glucosidase enzymes inhibition is one of the therapeutic approaches in the management of Type 2 diabetes, which can reduce the incidence of postprandial hyperglycemia.
α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are very attractive bioactive compounds due to their therapeutic profile that includes beneficial effects over glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus and viral infections.
Our overall results depict <b>1</b>⁻<b>3</b> from <i>M. alba</i> root bark as dual inhibitors of PTP1B and α-glucosidase enzymes, as well as insulin sensitizers.These active constituents in <i>M. alba</i> may potentially be utilized as an effective treatment for T2DM.
The present study was conducted to assess the cardiovascular effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) on coronary flow reserve (CFR), left ventricular (LV) function and endothelial function of the peripheral artery by comparison with those of α-glucosidase inhibitors (αGI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods and Results:We randomly assigned 30 patients with T2DM and CAD to receive either sitagliptin or voglibose, and 28 patients (age 69±9 years, 75% male, hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 6.62±0.48%) completed the study (14 in each group).
These novel xanthone triazole derivatives exhibited dual therapeutic effects of α-glucosidase inhibition and glucose uptake promotion, thus they could be use as antidiabetic agents for developing novel drugs against type 2 diabetes.
Noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus is a serious global disease that is treated by inhibiting α-glucosidase to reduce the glucose content in the blood.
Our results show that apple phenolic extracts strongly inhibit α-glucosidase acitivity, validating their potential to be used in the management of type 2 diabetes.
During the last decade, ursolic and oleanolic acids have been of considerable interest because of their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities and potential effects for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
