Coreopsin is a flavonoid from Coreopsis tinctoria. The inhibition of coreopsin and synergy with acarbose against α-amylase (PPA) or α-glucosidase (SCG) were explored. As a result, coreopsin exhibited stronger inhibition on PPA/SCG than that of acarbose. Combination of coreopsin (4.11 μM) with acarbose (132.77 μM) had significant synergistic effect on PPA, while combination of coreopsin (5.76 μM) and acarbose (121.7 μM) had significant synergy on SCG. Coreopsin, acarbose and acarbose-coreopsin inhibited PPA in mixed-type mode. Acarbose competitively inhibited SCG, whereas coreopsin and acarbose-coreopsin inhibited SCG in mixed-type mode. Fluorescence analysis conformed that coreopsin could synergize with acarbose by increasing the binding ability of acarbose to PPA/SCG. Compared with acarbose or coreopsin, acarbose-coreopsin complexes resulted in more conformational changes of PPA/SCG, revealing that the complexes had stronger inhibitory ability than acarbose or coreopsin alone. The detail binding information of coreopsin, acarbose or acarbose-coreopsin to PPA /SCG was revealed by computer simulation.

Background: A drug cocktail targeting different processes of aging was tested in an aging mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathologic change as an intervention to improve behaviors corresponding to cognitive dysfunction in AD.
Method: A cocktail of acarbose/rapamycin/phenylbutyrate or a control treatment was administered (medicated vs. non-medicated chow) chronically to 22 months-old mice that received viral vector injections to induce amyloid and tau pathology in the hippocampus at 24 months of age.

Inflammation is critical for obesity and obesity-induced insulin resistance (IR). In this study, we reveal the function and mechanism of acarbose on adipose tissue macrophage (ATM)-mediated inflammation in obesity and obesity-induced IR. First, acarbose enhances the abundance of propionic acid-producing Parasutterella, therefore indirectly inhibiting the survival and proinflammatory function of M1-like ATMs via GPR43.

In this work, a novel series of quinoline-thiosemicarbazone-1,2,3-triazole-aceamide derivatives 10a-n as new potent α-glucosidase inhibitors was designed, synthesized, and evaluated. All the synthesized derivatives 10a-n were more potent than acarbose (positive control). Representatively, (E)-2-(4-(((3-((2-Carbamothioylhydrazineylidene)methyl)quinolin-2-yl)thio)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-N-phenethylacetamide (10n), as the most potent entry, with IC = 48.

-Terphenyl compounds are known to possess a diverse range of biological activities, making the synthesis of novel -terphenyl derivatives a significant research objective. In this study, we report the first synthesis of nocarterphenyl A (), characterized by a thiazole-fused -terphenyl framework. Furthermore, we synthesized 18 additional analogs, including the naturally occurring compound 5-methoxy-4,7-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)benzo[]thiazol-6-ol (), employing a similar synthetic approach.
