Abstract: Background: More than 95% of diabetics are people with type 2 diabetes or often called non-insulin dependent diabetes which is characterized by pancreatic beta cell dysfunction leading to high blood glucose level called hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia plays critical role in the development and progression of diabetic complication. Postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetes can be controlled by impairing the digestion of dietary carbohydrate by inhibiting α-glucosidase. The α–glucosidase inhibitors such as acarbose, miglitol, voglibose are widely used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes, but the side effects associated with these compounds are a matter of keen concern. Therefore much effort has been directed to search for candidate of the α–glucosidase inhibitors with low side effect and effective from.....
