Salacinol is a natural α-glucosidase inhibitor found in plants of the genus Salacia, known for its traditional medicinal uses in managing diabetes and obesity. It acts by inhibiting enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion, thereby reducing postprandial blood glucose levels. Salacinol has drawn interest in pharmaceutical research for its potential as a therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders. Studies continue to explore its mechanism of action and efficacy in modulating glucose metabolism.
