Potent α-amylase inhibitory activity of Indian Ayurvedic medicinal plants
BACKGROUND Indian medicinal plants used in the Ayurvedic traditional system to treat diabetes are a valuable source of novel anti-diabetic agents. Pancreatic α-amylase inhibitors offer an effective strategy to lower the levels of post-prandial hyperglycemia via control of starch breakdown. In this study, seventeen Indian medicinal plants with known hypoglycemic properties were subjected to sequ...
متن کاملScreening of Indian medicinal plants for acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity.
The cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has provided the rationale for the current pharmaco-therapy of this disease, in an attempt to reduce the cognitive decline caused by cholinergic deficits. Nevertheless, the search for potent and long-acting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors that exert minimal side effects in AD patients is still ongoing. AChE inhibitors are currently t...
متن کاملStudies on Antidiabetic Activity of Indian Medicinal Plants Using -Amylase and -Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity - A Pathway to Antidiabetic Drugs
Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. The nature has a plentiful sources as a remeady for this slow-killing condition. The aim of the present to assess the medicinal plants for anti-diabetic activity by using -amylase and -glucosidase inhibition assay. Anti-diabeticactivities of medicinal plants weredetermined by -amylase and -glucosidase inhibition assay. Results revealed that methono...
متن کاملPotential Anti-obesity Effects of some Medicinal Herb: In vitro α-Amylase, α-Glucosidase and Lipase Inhibitory Activity
In this study, in vitro inhibitory activity of methanolic and chloroform extracts of some medicinal plants including C. wightii, T. ammi, N. sativa, C. arabica, L. usitatissimum, C. cyminum, and R. Graveolens was evaluated toward α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and lipase comparing with acarbose and orlistat as the standard inhibitors. Our results revealed that both methanolic and chloroform extracts...
متن کاملEvaluation of Traditional Indian Antidiabetic Medicinal Plants for Human Pancreatic Amylase Inhibitory Effect In Vitro
Pancreatic α-amylase inhibitors offer an effective strategy to lower the levels of post prandial hyperglycemia via control of starch breakdown. Eleven Ayurvedic Indian medicinal plants with known hypoglycemic properties were subjected to sequential solvent extraction and tested for α-amylase inhibition, in order to assess and evaluate their inhibitory potential on pancreatic α-amylase. Analysis...
