Acarbose, a kind of a-glucosidase inhibitors developed by Bayer, first came into German market in 1990 and then entered the markets of many countries after getting FDA’s approval on September 6th 1995. Acarbose, a kind of complex carbonhydrate, is a a-glucosidase inhibitor which can competitively inhibit a-glucosidase in brush border of cells in intestinal wall and defer hydrolysis of disaccharide and polysaccharide, thus effectively reducing postprandial glycemia. Acarbose can not only reduce postprandial glycemia, fasting glucose, hemoglobin (HbA1c) significantly but also is weight neutral or leads to slight weight loss. When it is used together with sulfonylurea or insulin, the impacts of weight gain can be mitigated.
