IC50: 64.4 µg/mL (α-glucosidase); 130.5 µg/mL (α-amylase)[1]
2-Hydroxyquinoline (carbostyril) targets alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars in the small intestine. By inhibiting alpha-glucosidase, it delays carbohydrate digestion and reduces postprandial blood glucose levels. It also inhibits alpha-amylase (IC50 = 130.5 ug/mL), another carbohydrate-digesting enzyme. Additionally, 2-hydroxyquinoline is a specific inhibitor of plaque paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that has antioxidant properties. It has been studied for its potential antidiabetic effects. |

| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data for 2-Hydroxyquinoline are reported in the search results. As an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, it has potential for evaluation in animal models of diabetes, such as streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats or mice, or in db/db mice. The compound could be administered orally at doses of 10-100 mg/kg before a starch load, and postprandial blood glucose levels would be measured. The compound‘s effect on HbA1c, insulin sensitivity, and body weight could also be assessed. However, no such data are provided.

| Enzyme Assay |
The binding of 2-Hydroxyquinoline to alpha-glucosidase is measured by standard in vitro enzyme activity assays using alpha-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae or rat intestinal acetone powder. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and the substrate p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG). After incubation, the reaction is stopped, and the amount of p-nitrophenol released is measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm. The IC50 of 64.4 ug/mL is calculated from dose-response curves (1-1000 ug/mL). The inhibition of alpha-amylase (IC50 = 130.5 ug/mL) is measured using porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase and starch as a substrate, with the reducing sugar product quantified by the DNS method or by a chromogenic assay. The inhibition of PON1 can be measured using paraoxon as a substrate and measuring the release of p-nitrophenol at 405 nm.

| Cell Assay |
No cellular experiments for 2-Hydroxyquinoline are described in the search results. For cellular alpha-glucosidase inhibition studies, Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells are seeded in 6- or 24-well plates. Cells are treated with 2-Hydroxyquinoline at concentrations of 1-1000 ug/mL for 1-4 hours. The cells are then lysed, and alpha-glucosidase activity in the lysate is measured using the pNPG substrate. For glucose uptake studies, cells are treated with the compound and then incubated with 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG); glucose uptake is measured using a fluorescent 2-DG analog. Cytotoxicity is assessed by MTT or LDH assays. No such data are provided.

| Animal Protocol |
No animal experiments for 2-Hydroxyquinoline are described in the search results. For in vivo evaluation of antidiabetic activity, 6-8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats or C57BL/6 mice would be used. Diabetes is induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 45-65 mg/kg). After diabetes is confirmed (blood glucose >250 mg/dL), animals are treated with 2-Hydroxyquinoline orally (10-200 mg/kg) once daily for 2-4 weeks. Blood glucose levels are measured at various time points (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after dosing) by tail prick. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is performed: after an overnight fast, animals receive an oral glucose load (2 g/kg), and blood glucose is measured at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Body weight, food and water intake, and HbA1c levels are monitored. At the study endpoint, blood is collected for lipid profile and insulin levels, and the pancreas is harvested for histology and insulin immunostaining.
