| Summary: | The vast majority of the carbohydrates in the biomolecule class areformed by photosynthesis using sunlight. One of the important enzymes in thisclass is α-glycosidase. This enzyme converts complex carbohydrates tomonosaccharides. On the other hand, another important enzyme species is theα-amylase enzyme. Which directly related to starch. Starch is a type of polymerformed by the oxygen binding of glucose units to each other at the C1 positionwith glycosidic bonds. α-Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis ofglycosidic bonds in starch, and this enzyme is purified from a wide variety ofanimals, plants, and microorganisms. Resorcinol, a phenol derivative, is animportant organic chemical substance in the production of textile, medicine,hair dye, plastic and agricultural products of many industrial materials.Resorcinol, a phenol derivative, is present as white crystals, and resorcinolconsists of two hydroxyl molecules attached to the benzene ring, and also wasdefined as α-glycosidase and α-amylase inhibitor to detect antidiabeticproperties. Resorcinol was used as 𝛼-glycosidase and 𝛼-amylase inhibitor. Accordingly, IC50 values of α-amylase andα-glycosidase were calculated as 1.34 μM and 77.00 nM, respectively. On theother hand, Ki value for α-glycosidase was found as 30.16 nM. It hasbeen observed that α-amylase and α-glycosidase enzymes can inhibit byresorcinol compound. It has the properties of inhibiting carbohydrateabsorption by inhibiting α-glycosidase enzymes in the small intestine. For both metabolicenzymes, resorcinol may be preferred as an inhibitor. In this case, resorcinolmay be used as an inhibitor against to healty problems like Diabetesmellitus and antiobesity.
