Studies on the novel alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity and structure-activity relationships for andrographolide analogues.

A series of analogues of andrographolide were synthesized and evaluated as novel alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Among them compound 23, 15-p-methoxylbenzylidene 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide, was a potent inhibitor against alpha-glucosidase whose IC(50) value was 16microM. The structure-activity relationships were also discussed.
