Miglitol

InhA, Func 72432-03-2
Catalog No. ABIN3221279
  • Application
    Inhibition Assay (InhA), Functional Studies (Func)
    Purpose
    Miglitol is an oral anti-diabetic drug that acts by inhibiting the ability of the patient to breakdown complex carbohydrates into glucose. It is primarily used in diabetes mellitus type 2 for establishing greater glycemic control by preventing the digestion of carbohydrates (such as disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) into monosaccharides which can be absorbed by the body. Miglitol inhibits glycoside hydrolase enzymes called alpha-glucosidases. Since miglitol works by preventing digestion of carbohydrates, it lowers the degree of postprandial hyperglycemia. It must be taken at the start of main meals to have maximal effect. Its effect will depend on the amount of non-monosaccharide carbohydrates in a person's diet. In contrast to acarbose (another alpha-glucosidase inhibitor), miglitol is systemically absorbed, however, it is not metabolized and is excreted by the kidneys.

    Storage Comment
    For the majority of compounds, they could be dissolved in DMSO or other organic solvent.
    Their stock solution can be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months and aliquoted for sampling convenience.
    Several freeze/thaw cycles should not damage the activity of our small molecule products.
    However, in many instances the aqueous solutions of some compounds need to be made fresh and cannot be stored. For these compounds, their solution should be prepared just before use and stored no longer than 24 hours.
