Salacinol

A natural thiosugar isolated in 1997 from the roots and stems of Salacia reticulata, a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine against diabetes: it inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidases and slows the absorption of sugars. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?In Sri Lanka people used to leave water overnight in mugs made from the plant; its structure was the first example in nature of a sulfonium-type thiosugar.
