Abstract
Intestinal �±-glucosidase performs a physiologically vital function in the digestive process of dietary carbohydrates. Administration of an �±-glucosidase inhibitor may retard the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. Consequently, the rise in postprandial blood glucose could be suppressed. Th is study developed a novel technology, called �aft er fl owing through immobilized receptor (AFTIR)�, for targeting components in herbal medicines with �±-glucosidase-suppressing capability. As a result, we reveal that the AFTIR system is a highly-effi cient drug screening platform, capable of purifying and identifying active components with �±-glucosidase-suppressing capability in herbal medicines.
