Description
Summary:Inhibition of glycoside hydrolases has widespread application in the treatment of diabetes. Based on our previous findings, a series of dihydrofuro[3,2-<i>b</i>]piperidine derivatives was designed and synthesized from D- and L-arabinose. Compounds <b>32</b> (IC<sub>50</sub> = 0.07 μM) and <b>28</b> (IC<sub>50</sub> = 0.5 μM) showed significantly stronger inhibitory potency against <i>α</i>-glucosidase than positive control acarbose. The study of the structure–activity relationship of these compounds provides a new clue for the development of new <i>α</i>-glucosidase inhibitors.
