Amylase Inhibitors in Plants: Structures, Functions and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The -amylase inhibitors have been purified and characterized from several plant species. Six classes of -amylase inhibitors have been classified by their structures. They play important roles in the control of endogenous amylases as well as the protection against pathogens and pests. The purification methods, classification, function, inhibition mechanism together with their applications in agricultural, clinical and industrial processes have been discussed in this review. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes including α-amylase and α-glucosidase is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial glucose level after a meal, especially in the people with type 2 diabetes. Medicinal plants and their extracts are one of the main sources to find new inhibitors to the enzymes. In our study four flavonoids, namely luteoli...
