Scientific Background | Miglitol is an oral α-glucosidase inhibitor primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Although not widely studied in neurodegeneration, its structural similarity to iminosugars like DNJ suggests potential for modulating glycosphingolipid metabolism. Emerging interest in glycan processing and lysosomal function in neurodegenerative diseases may expand Miglitol’s relevance in neuroscience research. |
