| Research Abstract |
Salacinol (1) is a potent glycosidase inhibitor isolated from Ayurvedic medicine (Salacia reticulata), which is traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes in Sri Lanka and India. In order to determine the effect of 5 membered thiosugar-sulfonium ring structure of 1 on α-glucosidase inhibition, several seco-analogs of 1 were synthesized. Their evaluation as inhibitors indicated that 5 membered ring structure of 1 was essential for the potent inhibition.
