maltosyl-alpha (1,4)-d-gluconhydroximo-1,5-lactam

Maltosyl-alpha (1,4)-D-Gluconhydroximo-1,5-Lactam is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the class of o-glycosyl compounds and glycoconjugates[1][2][4]. It is structurally characterized as a complex carbohydrate derivative with the molecular formula C18H32N2O15[2][6]. This compound has been studied primarily as an experimental inhibitor of pancreatic alpha-amylase—a key enzyme involved in starch digestion—by binding to its active site and blocking enzymatic activity[8][10]. Its mechanism of action involves competitive inhibition of alpha-amylase activity. The compound has not been approved for clinical use and remains experimental.
