title: Inhibition of beta-fructofuranosidases and alpha-glucosidases by synthetic thio-fructofuranoside.
abstract: A synthetic beta-thio-fructofuranoside of mercaptoethanol inhibited not only beta-fructofuranosidases but also alpha-glucosidases. The compound was hardly hydrolyzed by the glycosidases. The thio-fructoside competitively inhibited beta-fructofuranosidases from Aspergillus niger, Candida sp., and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but not Arthrobacter beta-fructofuranosidase at all. Sucrase activity of rat intestinal sucrase/isomaltase complex was also suppressed in the presence of the thio-fructoside. The thio-fructoside showed noncompetitive inhibition toward maltase activity of the rat intestinal enzyme complex and Saccharomyces sp. alpha-glucosidase. Inhibition against the Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-glucosidase, Rhizopus glucoamylase, and porcine kidney trehalase were more slight than that against these two alpha-glucosidases.
