IC50 values for porcine α-amylase, yeast α-glucosidase, and mammalian α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of TG.

EnzymesIC50 values for TG (µg/mL)IC50 values for acarbose (µg/mL)

α-glucosidase (yeast source)3.16 ± 0.056.14 ± 0.05

rat Intestinal α-glucosidase (sucrase)74.07 ± 0.5144.30 ± 0.73

porcine α-amylase1.17 ± 0.240.18 ± 0.02

At different concentrations of TG IC50 values for yeast α-glucosidase, sucrase, maltase, and porcine α amylase were studied. Values are expressed as mean± SD of three independent experiments made in duplicate.
