Background: Bauhinia winitii (BW) (Fabaceae) plant revealed poor phytochemical investigation and anti-diabetic report. As one of the family which known with abundant flavonoids content, contrary, BW was only used for treatment diarrhea in Thai conservative remedy. Objectives: The aim this study to investigate constituents anti-alpha glucosidase activity BW. Materials Methods: Phytochemical base...

The majority of the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of fruits are anthocyanins, a group of polyphenolics that are responsible for the color of many fruits, vegetables and flowers. The harvesting time, storage conditions, maturity, extraction steps etc. are very important for the biological activities based on the alteration of chemical composition. The free radical scavenging and antidi...

Abstract In recent years the prevalence of diabetes has increased globally and by 2040 number diabetic people been estimated to increase 642 million. Various classes drugs are available treat Type ll diabetes. However, these associated with certain side effects. ?-Glucosidase is an intriquing target enzyme II diabetes, ?-glucosidase inhibitors considered as first-line for patients. Fungi, in ge...

BACKGROUND Cyperus scariosus R. Br and Cyperus rotundus L are widely used in ayurvedic preparation for the treatment of diabetes and other diseases. The early literature, so far, does not indicate the presence of any bioactive principle isolated from these plants. OBJECTIVE To identify free radical scavenging, anti-diabetic and anti- inflammatory principles from these two species. MATERIALS...

Chinese bayberry (Morella rubra Sieb. et Zucc.) fruit have a diverse flavonoid composition responsible for the various medicinal activities, including anti-diabetes. In the present study, efficient simultaneous purification of four flavonoid glycosides, i.e., cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (1), myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside (2), quercetin-3-O-galactoside (3), quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (4), from Chinese baybe...

the leopard moth, zeuzera pyrina, is a key and worldwide pest damaging walnut as well as many other fruit trees during the larval stages. larvae were collected from infested twigs of walnut trees. midguts from larvae were removed under a stereomicroscope and their homogenates used as the enzyme source. larval midgut extracts showed an optimum activity at ph 8.0, 6.0 and 6.0 for ?-amylase, ?- an...

The present work aims to evaluate the anti-diabetic potentials of 16 anthraquinones, two naphthopyrone glycosides, and one naphthalene glycoside from Cassia obtusifolia via inhibition against the protein tyrosine phosphatases 1B (PTP1B) and α-glucosidase. Among them, anthraquinones emodin and alaternin exhibited the highest inhibitory activities on PTP1B and α-glucosidase, respectively. Moreove...

Previously, powdered persimmon leaves have been reported to have glucose- and lipid-lowering effects in diabetic (db/db) mice. As persimmon leaf is commonly consumed as tea, an aqueous extract of persimmon leaves (PLE) was prepared and its anti-diabetic efficacy was investigated. In the present study, PLE was tested for its inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase in vitro. An oral maltose toleranc...
