1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is an alkaloid that is found at relatively high concentrations in mulberry leaf and tissues of the silkworm, $Bombyx$ $mori$. DNJ is a well known inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, an enzyme that is involved in the early stages of the $N$-linked glycoprotein synthesis pathway. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase activity in the cell extract from $B.$ $mori$-derived Bm5 cells showed approximately 40-fold less sensitivity to DNJ than ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity in the cell extract from $Spodoptera$ $frugiperda$-derived Sf9 cells. The replication of $B.$ $mori$ nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) was not inhibited when it was propagated in BmN cells that were grown in medium containing up to 10 mM DNJ. In contrast, the replication of $Autographa$ $californica$ multiple NPV (AcMNPV) was reduced by 67% when it was propagated in Sf9 cells that were grown in medium containing 10 mM DNJ. The viability of Bm5 and Sf9 cells that were grown in medium containing up to 10 mM DNJ was not affected. Our results suggested that the reduced replication of AcMNPV was the result of the higher sensitivity of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity in Sf9 cells to DNJ.

The roots of Codonopsis lanceolata afforded tangshenoside I(1) and $\beta$-adenosine (2) as $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitors. Their structures were unambiguously determined by 1D and 2D NMR data including HMQC and HMBC experiments. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activities in vitro with $IC_{50}$ of 1.4 and 9.3 mM, respectively.

Discovery of $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitors has been actively pursued with the aim to develop therapeutics for the treatment of diabetes and the other carbohydrate mediated diseases. As a method for the discovery of new novel inhibitors of $\alpha$-glucosidase, we have addressed the performance of the computer-aided drug design protocol involving the homology modeling of $\alpha$-glucosidase and the structure-based virtual screening with the two docking tools: FlexX and the automated and improved AutoDock implementing the effects of ligand solvation in the scoring function. The homology modeling of $\alpha$-glucosidase from baker’s yeast provides a high-quality 3-D structure enabling the structure-based inhibitor design. Of the two docking programs under consideration, AutoDock is found to be more accurate than FlexX in terms of scoring putative ligands to the extent of 5-fold enhancement of hit rate in database screening when 1% of database coverage is used as a cutoff. A detailed binding mode analysis of the known inhibitors shows that they can be stabilized in the active site of $\alpha$- glucosidase through the simultaneous establishment of the multiple hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions. The present study demonstrates the usefulness of the automated AutoDock program with the improved scoring function as a docking tool for virtual screening of new $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitors as well as for binding mode analysis to elucidate the activities of known inhibitors.

The aqueous extract from the fruit body of Lentinus edodes was evaluated for inhibitory activities against $\alpha$-glucosidase isolated from Spargue-Dawley male rats. A aqueous extract of Lentinus edodes exhibited 13.8% inhibitory activity on using 2 mM p-nitrophenyl $\alpha$-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate ($IC_{50}$ 75.3 mg/ml). The aqueous extract of Lentinus edodes inhibition type on $\alpha$-glucosidase was determined to be competitive inhibition. When it was oral administered to increase of blood glucose levels after STZ-induced in a dose dependent dietary. These results suggest that aqueous extract of Lentinus edodes effect a metabolism of intestine, and thereby reducing the increase of blood glucose after STZ-induced.

An inhibitory activity against ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ was identified in extract of an edible lichen, Umbilicaria esculenta. The inhibitor was very stable retaining above 95% of its original activity when treated with heat, acid and alkaline conditions, and some hydrolytic enzymes. Partially purified inhibitor showed strong inhibition against disaccharide hydrolytic enzymes of mammalian and mold origin, but weak or no inhibition against polysaccharide hydrolytic enzymes except glucoamylase. The inhibitor suppressed elevation of blood glucose level in rats after oral administration of soluble starch or sucrose.

본 연구에서는 전통 발효 식품에서 분리한 B. subtilis Y3-7 균주의 배양액이 $\alpha$-glucosidase의 활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. B. subtilis Y3-7 균주를 TSB 배지에 30시간 이상 배양한 배양액은 1.62 mg/mL의 농도로 yeast $\alpha$-glucosidase의 활성을 50%까지 저해할 수 있었다. 또한 효소학적 분석을 통해 이것이 배양액 내 물질이 효소의 기질과 경쟁적으로 작용하여 억제효과가 나타남을 확인하였다. B. subtilis Y3-7 균주의 배양액은 yeast 뿐만 아니라 실험동물의 장내 $\alpha$-glucosidase의 활성에도 영향을 미쳐 당부하에 따른 급격한 혈당상승을 억제할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 대량배양이 가능한 B. subtilis Y3-7을 통해 탄수화물 흡수에 중요한 역할을 하는 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성억제 물질을 얻음으로써 항당뇨 물질의 안정적인 생산이 기대되는 바이다.

Glycosidase inhibitors from urine of Bombyx mori were isolated and their inhibitory activities on glycosidases were evaluated. Six compounds were isolated by using several ion exchange columns, and their chemical structures were identified by the physicochemical and spectral data. Compound IV, V and Ⅵ were identified as 1-deoxynojirimycin, fagomine and 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol, respectively. Among six compounds isolated,1-deoxynojirimycin(IV) was the most potent inhibitor on $\alpha$-glucosidase and $\beta$-galactosidase of rat intestine, and its inhibitory activities for trehalase and almond $\beta$-glucosidase were relatively weak. Compound V and Ⅵl retained a little inhibitory potency toward $\alpha$-glucosidase and $\beta$-galactosidase. Compound II and III, however, have been found to have no effect on all glycosidases tested in this study.

To establish the anti-diabetic(α-glucosidase inhibitory) activity of D. lotus leaf extract, isolate and identify the constituents responsible for the activity. The methanolic extract of leaves was partitioned between water, n-butanol and ethyl acetate. Bio-assay guided fractionation, based on inhibition of ;${\alpha}$-glucosidase, allowed isolation and identification of the active components. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry(LC/MS), ¹ H-NMR and ¹³ C-NMR spectra analyses demonstrated that the active compound was myricetin-3-O-;${\alpha}$-L-rhamnoside(1). Compound 1 demonstrated a strong inhibition on the α-glucosidase, in vitro and ;${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory value was calculated as 98.08%, when that of a reference drug, acarbose was estimated as 83.03%. The present study indicates compound 1 could be considered as an ;${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor and developed as an important antidiabetes agent for type II diabetes therapy.

본 논문은 당뇨병 치료제로 알려진 Miglitol은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해제로, 산업적으로 포도당과 에탄올아민으로부터 세 단계의 화학 및 생물전환 과정을 거쳐 합성되며. acetic acid bacteria에 속하는 Gluconobactor oxydans (G. oxydans)는 불완전 산화를 통해 1-deoxy-1-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-D-glucitol (P1)을 Miglitol의 전구체인 6-(2-hydroxyetyl) amino-6-deoxy-${\alpha}$-L-sorbofuranose (P2)로 생물 전환시키는 균주이다. 본 연구에서는 토양으로부터 스크리닝하여 선발된 고효율 생물전환 박테리아인 CK-2165의 균주를 동정하고 최적의 발효조건을 탐색하고자 하였다. 16S rDNA 서열과 계통수 분석결과 CK-2165는 G. oxydans에 속하는 미생물임을 결정하였으며, API 20E kits를 사용하여 선발된 균주의 탄소원 이용성을 실험한 결과 glucose, mannose, inositol, sorbitol, rhamnose, sucrose, melibiose, amygdalin, arabinose와 같은 탄소원에 대한 이용성을 가진 균주임을 확인하였다. 또한 산업적 생산을 위하여 배양 조건을 최적화하였고 균체를 이용하여 생물전환 반응에 중요한 요소들을 조사하였다. 생물전환 반응을 위해 사용되는 균체는 균 성장 단계 중 후기 정지기 (late-stationary phase)에 수확한 균체가 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고 생물전환 반응에는 $MgSO_4$가 필수적임을 확인하였다.

We investigated the anti-diabetic activity and enzymatic activity of 24 commercial doenjang samples certified for traditional foods. Twenty four doenjang samples showed the wide ranges in enzymatic activities (protease activities 0-50.45 unit/g, ${\alpha}$-amylase activities 0-675.9 unit/g, ${\beta}$-amylase 13.6-308.6 unit/g), and there were no difference in enzymatic activity by the producing region. To evaluate the potential anti-diabetic activity of 24 doenjang samples, we examined the effect of doenjang methanol extract (DME) on 2-[n-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazol-4-yl) amyno]-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-NBDG) uptake. Ten samples among 24 samples significantly stimulated the uptake of 2-NBDG. When the cells were treated with DME at 400 ug/mL, No. 17 and 23 specially stimulated 2-NBDG uptake by 1.23-fold and 1.25-fold, respectively, compared with untreated control cell. And there were no cytotoxicity in the C2C12 cells treated with DME at concentration of 500 ug/mL. Among 24 samples, No. 6, 7, 12, 21 and 24 showed the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor activity at concentration of 10 mg/mL; however, they were less effective than acarbose which is a commercial ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor.
