Chemical Name: (2R,3R,4R,5S)-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-(2-hydroxymethyl)-3,4,5-piperidinetriol
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
Miglitol is an inhibitor of α-glucosidase; antihyperglycemic. Suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia in vivo and reduces plasma glucose concentration in normal rats and in several animal models of diabetes. Shown to inhibit the loss of pancreatic β cells in type 2 diabetic rats. Also inhibits apoptosis and mitochondrial overproduction of reactive oxygen species in endothelial cells in vitro.Technical Data
