A method for evaluation of α-glucosidase inhibition using .

The development of α-glucosidase inhibitors is essential for the prevention of type II diabetes. Previous research has investigated inhibition using isolated α-glucosidase, which may not accurately reflect physical processes. The method presented in this study aims to establish a rapid and inexpensive in vivo method to study the inhibition of α-glucosidase activity using as a model organism. This method can be used to calculate the IC value of compounds of interest for inhibition of α-glucosidase activity. The method established in this study can be used for screening of anti-diabetic compounds. •A rapid and inexpensive method to study the inhibition of α-glucosidase activity.•This method can be used to calculate the IC value of compounds of interest for inhibition of α-glucosidase activity.•This is a useful method for in vivo screening of anti-diabetic compounds.
