Product Information

• Name: 4-O-(α-D-Glucopyranosyl) moranoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-O-(α-D-Glucopyranosyl) moranoline is an iminosugar that functions as an effective glycosidase inhibitor, specifically targeting enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. It is derived from natural sources such as mulberry leaves, where it is produced as a defense compound against herbivores. This substance interferes with the activity of α-glucosidases by mimicking the transition state of the glycosidic bond cleavage, thereby preventing the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into glucose.
