Antidiabetic Potential: Effect of Resorcinol on α-Glycosidase and α-Amylase Enzymes

Abstract

The vast majority of the carbohydrates in the biomolecule class are formed by photosynthesis using sunlight. One of the important enzymes in this class is α-glycosidase.  This enzyme converts complex carbohydrates to monosaccharides. On the other hand, another important enzyme species is the α-amylase enzyme. Which directly related to starch. Starch is a type of polymer formed by the oxygen binding of glucose units to each other at the C1 position with glycosidic bonds. α-Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in starch, and this enzyme is purified from a wide variety of animals, plants, and microorganisms. Resorcinol, a phenol derivative, is an important organic chemical substance in the production of textile, medicine, hair dye, plastic and agricultural products of many industrial materials. Resorcinol, a phenol derivative, is present as white crystals, and resorcinol consists of two hydroxyl molecules attached to the benzene ring, and also was defined as α-glycosidase and α-amylase inhibitor to detect antidiabetic properties. Resorcinol was used as 𝛼-glycosidase and 𝛼-amylase inhibitor. Accordingly, IC50 values of α-amylase and α-glycosidase were calculated as 1.34 μM and 77.00 nM, respectively. On the other hand, Ki value for α-glycosidase was found as 30.16 nM. It has been observed that α-amylase and α-glycosidase enzymes can inhibit by resorcinol compound. It has the properties of inhibiting carbohydrate absorption by inhibiting α-glycosidase enzymes in the small intestine. For both metabolic enzymes, resorcinol may be preferred as an inhibitor. In this case, resorcinol may be used as an inhibitor against to healty problems like Diabetes mellitus and antiobesity.
