Investigation of Phenolic Composition, Antioxidant Capacity, and Antidiabetic Effect of Ornithogalum lanceolatum L.: An in vitro Study

Diabetes Mellitus is a global health problem that leads to macro- and microvascular diseases associated with hyperglycemia. Phytotherapy one of the alternative ways cope this type disease. The genus Ornithogalum consumed as wild edible plant traditionally used for ailments. This study aims investigate phenolic composition using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography well antioxidant antidiabetic effects spectrophotometric method lanceolatum L. aerial parts bulb. In order determine capacity total content, flavonoid content DPPH ABTS free radical scavenging activities were analyzed in O. lanceolatum. Moreover, vitro inhibitory bulb on digestive enzymes determined by evaluating α-amylase α-glucosidase activities. Protocatechuic acid was found be main compound both parts. However, amounts acids flavonoids higher than those well. Furthermore, exhibited more activity IC50 inhibition efficient It can concluded enhance status also prevent nutraceutically postprandial hyperglycemia inhibiting enzymes. These findings reveal importance traditional remedies ethnopharmacological use herbs.
