The Effect of Polyhydroxylated Alkaloids on Maltase-Glucoamylase
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most important carbohydrate-splitting enzymes is themaltase-glucoamylase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-glucosidic linkages. Maltase-glucoamylase inhibitors during the last few years have aroused medical interests in the treatment of diabetes. They contribute to a better understanding of the mechanism of maltase-glucoamylase. At present there are many different classes of maltase-glucoamylase inhibitors. This paper focuses on alkaloidal inhibitors of maltase-glucoamylase and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies between them in order to discover some drugs with better efficiency and lower toxicity for treating diabetes.

Milk glucosidase activity enables suckled pup starch digestion
UNLABELLED ᅟ: Starch requires six enzymes for digestion to free glucose: two amylases (salivary and pancreatic) and four mucosal maltase activities; sucrase-isomaltase and maltase-glucoamylase. All are deficient in suckling rodents. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to test (13)C-starch digestion before weaning by measuring enrichment of blood (13)C-glucose in maltase-glucoamylase-null...
متن کاملNeutral maltase/glucoamylase from rabbit renal cortex.
Maltase activity (EC 3.2.1.20) was solubilized from rabbit kidney brush-border membrane by using 1.0% Triton X-100 and purified 230-fold with an overall recovery of 30%. The purification procedure makes use of heat precipitation, chromatography on DE-52 DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. Rabbit kidney brush border exhibited glucoamylase activity with a maltase/glucoamylase ra...
متن کاملContribution of Mucosal Maltase-Glucoamylase Activities to Mouse Small Intestinal Starch a-Glucogenesis
Digestion of starch requires activities provided by 6 interactive small intestinal enzymes. Two of these are luminal endoglucosidases named a-amylases. Four are exo-glucosidases bound to the luminal surface of enterocytes. These mucosal activities were identified as 4 different maltases. Two maltase activities were associated with sucrase-isomaltase. Two remaining maltases, lacking other identi...

متن کاملA comparison of the active site of maltase-glucoamylase from the brush border of rabbit small intestine and kidney by chemical modification studies.
The neutral maltase-glucoamylase complex has been purified to homogeneity from the brush-border membrane of rabbit intestine and kidney. Chemical modification of the amino acid side chains was carried out on the purified enzymes. Studies on the kidney enzyme revealed that tryptophan, histidine and cysteine were essential for both maltase and glucoamylase activities, whereas tryptophan, histidin...
