α-Glucosidase inhibitory effect of resveratrol and piceatannol

Abstract

Dietary polyphenols have been shown to inhibit α-glucosidase, an enzyme target of some antidiabetic drugs. Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes and wine, has been reported to inhibit the activity of yeast α-glucosidase. This triggered our interest to synthesize analogs and determine their effect on mammalian α-glucosidase activity. Using either sucrose or maltose as substrate resveratrol, piceatannol and 3'-hydroxypterostilbene showed strong inhibition of mammalian α-glucosidase activity; pinostilbene, cis-desoxyrhapontigenin and trans-desoxyrhapontigenin had moderate inhibition. Compared to acarbose (IC 50 3-13 μg/ml), piceatannol and resveratrol inhibited mammalian α-glucosidase to a lesser extent (IC 50 14-84 and 111-120 μg/ml, respectively). 3'-Hydroxypterostilbene (IC 50 105-302 μg/ml) was 23-35-fold less potent than acarbose. We investigated the effect of piceatannol and resveratrol on postprandial blood glucose response in high-fat-fed C57Bl/6 mice. Animals administered resveratrol (30 mg/kg body weight [BW]) or piceatannol (14 mg/kg BW) 60 min prior to sucrose or starch loading had a delayed absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in significant lowering of postprandial blood glucose concentrations, similar to the antidiabetic drug acarbose, while no significant effect was observed with the glucose-loaded animals. Our studies demonstrate that the dietary polyphenols resveratrol and piceatannol lower postprandial hyperglycemia and indicate that inhibition of intestinal α-glucosidase activity may be a potential mechanism contributing to their antidiabetic property.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Flavonoids may possess strong inhibitory activities on the intestinal alpha-glucosidase enzyme, delaying the absorption of glucose and flattening postprandial hyperinsulinemic/hyperglycemic excursions.

    “In addition to this, several in vitro studies have confirmed that flavonoids may possess strong inhibitory activities on the intestinal α-glucosidase enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of glucose from disaccharides, thereby delaying the absorption of glucose and flattening postprandial hyperinsulinemic/hyperglycemic excursions [61,62].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
