Ask Doctor advise firstAcarbose is pseudo-oligosaccharide with a terminal C7-cyclitol patented in 1975 by Bayer. Acarbose is a component of the amylostatin complex produced by species of Actinoplanes and Streptomyces. Acarbose acts as a potent inhibitor of α-glucosidases and saccharases. Since 1990, acarbose has been used therapeutically for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.Precos Precose Prandase ACARBOSE Glucobay bay-g5421 Ascarbose Acarbose API Acarbose ,98% Acarbose Hydrate Bay g 5421：Glucobay Acarbose (Acarbosum) 4)-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1® -alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)- AMylostatin J, Bay g 5421, alpha-GHI (2R,3R,4R,5S,6R)-5-((2R,3R,4R,5S,6R)-5- Acarbose fom Actinoplanes sp. ca. 100 FIP-AIU/mg O-4,6-DIDEOXY-4-[[[1S-(1A,4A,5BETA,6A)]-4,5,6-TRIHYDROXY-3-(HYDROXYMETHY d-glucose,o-4,6-dideoxy-4-(((1s-(1-alpha,4-alpha,5-beta,6-alpha))-4,5,6-trihyd roxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)amino)-alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-o 4",6"-Dideoxy-4"-([1S]-[1,4,6/5]-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-2-yclohexenylamino)-maltotriose D-Glucose,O-4,6-dideoxy-4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxyMethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]aMino]-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1® O-4,6-Dideoxy-4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-D-Glucose 4-O-[4-O-[4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-Trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-4,6-dideoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl]-α-D-glucopyranosyl]-D-glucopyranose D-Glucose, O-4,6-dideoxy-4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)- O-4,6-Dideoxy-4-[[[1S-(1a,4a,5,6a)]-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-D-glucose O-4，6-Dideoxy-4-[[[1S(1α，4α，5β，6α-)-4，5，6-trihydrDxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-y1]amino]-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-ducopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose O-4,6-Dideoxy-4-[[[1S-(1α,4α,5β,6α)]-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxyMethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]aMino]-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-D-glucose O-4,6-Dideoxy-4-[[[1S-(1a,4a,5b,6a)]-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-D-gluco- se D-Glucose, O-4,6-dideoxy-4-[[4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-, [1S-(1α,4α,5β,6α)]- O-4,6-DIDEOXY-4-[[[1S-(1A,4A,5BETA,6A)]-4,5,6-TRIHYDROXY-3-(HYDROXYMETHYL)-2-CYCLOHEXEN-1-YL]AMINO]-ALPHA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYL-(1-4)-O-ALPHA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYL-(1-4)-D-GLUCOSE 5-[5-[3,4-DIHYDROXY-6-METHYL-5-[[4,5,6-TRIHYDROXY-3-(HYDROXYMETHYL)-1-CYCLOHEX-2-ENYL]AMINO]OXAN-2-YL]OXY-3,4-DIHYDROXY-6-(HYDROXYMETHYL)OXAN-2-YL]OXY-6-(HYDROXYMETHYL)OXANE-2,3,4-TRIOLAcarbose, a complex oligosaccharide isolated from Actinoplanes, is reportedly useful as an adjuvant therapy in diabetes.
