Acarbose - PubChem

Acarbose - Compound Summary (CID 441184) Also known as: Precose, Glucobay, Prandase, AC1L9APL, Acarbosa, Acarbosum, Alpha-Acarbose, CHEBI:2376, DB00284 Molecular Formula: C₂₅H₄₃NO₁₈ Molecular Weight: 645.60482 InChIKey: XUFXOAAUWZOOIT-JMPDRRIHSA-N An inhibitor of alpha glucosidase that retards the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine and hence reduces the increase in blood-glucose concentrations after a carbohydrate load. It is given orally to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients where diet modification or oral hypoglycemic agents do not control their condition.
