Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: α-Glucosidase Inhibitors

α-glucosidase inhibitors, including acarbose (Precose), miglitol (Glyset), and voglibose (Voglib) (primarily available in Asia), are drugs that control blood sugar levels by delaying the digestion of starch and disaccharides. They achieve this by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzymes in the intestine, which slow the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, which in turn leads to a prolonged release of the glucoregulatory hormone GLP-1 from intestinal L-cells.
Acarbose and miglitol are...

Synthesis of Indoxyl-glycosides for Detection of Glycosidase Activities

Indoxyl glycosides are well-established and widely used tools for enzyme screening and enzyme activity monitoring. Especially for glucose type structures previous syntheses proved to be challenging and low yielding. Our novel approach employs indoxylic acid esters as precious intermediates to yield a considerable number of indoxyl glycosides in good...

Evaluating Mutation Frequency in Bacteria Using the Beta-Glucosidase Assay

Source: Stefan, A., et al. The Multifaceted Benefits of Protein Co-expression in Escherichia coli. J. Vis. Exp. (96), (2015).This video demonstrates the evaluation of mutation frequency in bacteria using a beta-glucosidase assay. Bacterial cultures expressing a proofreading-deficient DNA polymerase are collected over successive generations. Replication errors caused by reduced proofreading may activate a suppressed beta-glucosidase gene. After centrifugation and permeabilization, a substrate is...
