Salacinol, compound found in Salacia reticulata, is an orally active α-glucosidase/lipase inhibitor. Salacinol inhibits enzymatic activity of intestinal maltase (IC50 = 3.2 μg/mL, Ki = 0.31 μg/mL), sucrase (IC50 = 0.84 μg/mL, Ki = 0.32 μg/mL), and isomaltase (IC50 = 0.59 μg/mL, Ki = 0.47 μg/mL), and inhibits increases in serum glucose levels in sucrose-loaded rats. Salacinol also inhibits pancreatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase. Salacinol can be used for the research of diabetes mellitus.
