Pharmacokinetic Prediction and Cytotoxicity of New Quercetin Derivatives
Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Quercetin (QUE) possesses various pharmacological properties; however, its low bioavailability and solubility hinder its beneficial effects. Enzymatic glycosylation has been explored to improve these aspects. In the present study, we used a sucrose phosphorylase variant to catalyze the regioselective transglucosylation of QUE, predicted the ...

Acarbose impairs gut Bacteroides growth by targeting intracellular glucosidases
mBioAcarbose is a type 2 diabetes medicine that prevents dietary starch breakdown into glucose by inhibiting host amylase and glucosidase enzymes. Numerous gut species in the Bacteroides genus enzymatically break down starch and change in relative abundance ...
