Résumé

In this study, we have investigated a series of hydroxylated 2-phenylbenzofurans compounds for their inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity. Inhibitors of carbohydrate degrading enzymes seem to have an important role as antidiabetic drugs. Diabetes mellitus is a wide-spread metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. The most common is type 2 diabetes, which can lead to severe complications. Since the aggregates of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) are common in diabetic patients, the effect of compounds to inhibit amyloid fibril formation was also determined. All the compounds assayed showed to be more active against α-glucosidase. Compound 16 showed the lowest IC
