Considerable interest has been attracted in xanthone and its derivatives because of their large variety of pharmacological activities. In this project, a series of hydroxylxanthones and their aectoxy and alkoxy derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, aimed at clarifying the structure-activity correlation. The results indicated that these xanthone derivatives were capable of inhibiting in vitro alpha-glucosidase with moderate to good activities. Among them, polyhydroxylxanthones exhibited the highest activities and thus may be exploitable as a lead compound for the development of potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
