Inhibition of α-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase, and antioxidant property of Myrcia hatschbachiiD. Legrand containing gallic and ellagic acids

Several species of the Myrcia genus have been used in folk medicine to treat diabetes. Therefore, aim this work was investigate inhibitory activity α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase crude extract (EBF) ethyl acetate fraction (FFA) hatschbachii, as well identify isolated phenolic compounds evaluate antioxidant property preliminary vitro toxicity against Artemia salina. EBF (IC50: 3.21 μg/mL) FFA 1.14 showed superior acarbose 193.65 μg/mL). In addition, they effects 556.58 μg/mL for 532.68 FFA), potential, absence presence gallic andellagic acids FFA. The relevant results inhibition motivate new studies development herbal medicines that assist treatment diabetic patients.
