Alpha-amylase Inhibitors were isolated from Ficus sp. (Gameleira) seeds by acetone fractionation and Sephadex G-50. Two inhibitors (alpha-PPAI and alpha-ZSAI) were tested against alpha-amylases from coleopteran larvae. alpha-PPAI was active to alpha-amylases of Callosobruchus maculatus (52%) and Zabrotes subfasciatus (53%). alpha-ZSAI was strongly active to Z. subfasciatus (100%) of and Mimosestes mimosae (98%). The alpha-ZSAI is a glycoprotein of approximately 50 kDa with an IC50 value of 0.074 microg microl(-1).
通过丙酮分级分离和葡聚糖凝胶G-50从榕属植物(加梅莱拉)种子中分离出α-淀粉酶抑制剂。测试了两种抑制剂(α-PPAI和α-ZSAI)对鞘翅目幼虫α-淀粉酶的抑制作用。α-PPAI对黄斑豆象(52%)和赤拟谷盗(53%)的α-淀粉酶具有活性。α-ZSAI对赤拟谷盗(100%)和米氏米象(98%)具有强烈活性。α-ZSAI是一种分子量约为50 kDa的糖蛋白,IC50值为0.074 μg μL-1。
