Abstract

The synthesis of selenium analogues of de-O-sulfonated ponkoranol, a naturally occurring sulfonium-ion glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata, and their evaluation as glucosidase inhibitors against two recombinant intestinal enzymes maltase glucoamylase (MGAM) and sucrase isomaltase (SI) are described.
