Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are a class of drugs that are widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Members of this class such as acarbose, is a pseudo-oligosaccharide that acts as a competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor and has been widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes due to its ability to regulate postprandial blood glucose levels. they competitively inhibit enzymes that convert complex non-absorbable carbohydrates into simple absorbable carbohydrates by delaying carbohydrate absorption, they reduce the rise in postprandial blood glucose. Acarbose has been shown to increase life expectancy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and reduces the risk of the development of cardiovascular events in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. In this study, we aimed to enhance the biosynthesis of acarbose by optimizing the fermentation conditions of Actinoplanes hulinensis 1094. In 7 surveyed media (MT1, MT2, MT3, MT4, MT5, MT6, and MT7), the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was highest in MT7 medium, the activity was 58.6%, the lowest was in MT6 medium. Component optimization of MT7 led to the formulation of an optimal medium containing (g/L): 50 maltose, 15 corn flour, 1 monosodium glutamate, 2 CaCl2, 0.5 FeCl3, 1.0 K2HPO4, and 2.5 CaCO3. Subsequent optimization of physical conditions identified 30°C, pH 7.0, and 200 rpm as the most favorable parameters. Under these optimized conditions, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity reached 82.2%, surpassing that of the 1 mg/mL standard acarbose control. These findings highlight the potential of A. hulinensis 1094 as a promising strain for high-yield acarbose production under cost-effective and scalable conditions.
