Antioxidative activity and inhibition of key enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes (a-glucosidase and a-amylase) by Khaya senegalensis

چکیده
This study evaluated the in vitro antioxidative activity of Khaya senegalensis extracts and inhibitory effects of some sol vent fractions on a-glucosidase and a-amylase activities. The stem bark, root and leaf samples of the plant were sequentially extracted with ethyl acetate, ethanol and water and then tested for antioxidative activity. Our findings revealed that the ethanolic extract of the root had the highest antioxidative activity. Solvent-solvent fractionation of the root ethanolic extract yielded a butanol fraction that show ed higher antioxidative activity than other fractions. Furthermore, the butanol fraction had significantly higher (p < 0.05) a-glucosidase and a-amylase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 2.89 ± 0.46 and 97.51 ± 5.72 μg mL–1, respectively. Enzyme kinetic studies indicated that the butanol fraction is a non-competitive inhibitor for a-glucosidase with an inhibition binding constant Ki of 1.30 μg mL–1 and a competitive inhibitor of a-amylase with a Ki of 7.50 μg mL–1. GC-MS analysis revealed that the butanol fraction contained two chromones, p-anilinophenol and 3-ethyl-5-(3ethyl-(3H)-benzothiazol-2-ylidene)-2-(p-tolylvinylamino)4-thiazolidinone. Data obtained in the study suggest that the butanol fraction derived from the ethanolic extract of K. senegalensis root possessed excellent antioxidative as well as a-glucosidase and a-amylase inhibitory activities while chromones and/or p-anilinophenol could be the main bioactive compounds responsible for the observed activities.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease. Decreasing postprandial hyperglycemia by retarding glucose absorption through inhibiting carbohydrates digesting enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) is one of many approaches used for the management of this disease. This study was aimed at evaluating the normoglycaemic potential of Helianthus annuus leaf. Methods: The effect o...
