Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drug technology for diseases related to abnormal GAA expression, specifically to the application of a Polygonatum compound that inhibits α-glucosidase activity and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, diabetes has become a common disease that seriously threatens human health. With the increasing number of patients, the types of drugs for treating diabetes are also constantly increasing. One type is alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, mainly used for patients who do not respond to other hypoglycemic drugs or those who require dietary control. However, long-term use can lead to increased bloating and, in severe cases, diarrhea. Therefore, developing natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitors is a necessary task with significant economic and social benefits.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated rich experience in treating diabetes. In TCM, diabetes falls under the category of "Xiao Ke Bing" (wasting and thirsting disease), and its occurrence is closely related to the spleen and kidneys. "The spleen is the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of qi and blood; the kidney is the foundation of innate constitution, storing primordial yin and yang." Treatment can be approached through three aspects: tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen to dispel dampness, nourishing the yin and yang of the kidneys, and treating both the spleen and kidneys simultaneously. Therefore, it is feasible to discover substances that regulate α-glucosidase activity from Chinese herbs with the effects of "strengthening the spleen and benefiting the kidneys" and "tonifying qi and nourishing yin."
