Voglibose
Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that competitively blocks intestinal alpha-glucosidase enzymes (maltase, sucrase, glucoamylase) on the brush border of the small intestine, delaying the digestion of complex carbohydrates and disaccharides and reducing postprandial glucose absorption. It is used primarily in Asian countries for type 2 diabetes mellitus management to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia with minimal risk of hypoglycemia. Its selective action on intestinal alpha-glucosidases results in localized effects with limited systemic absorption.
