bilberry [vaccinium myrtillus linn. (ericaceae)] fruit (vmf) has been traditionally used for treatment of bladder stones, biliary disorders, scurvy, coughs, and lung tuberculosis. vmf may have some pharmaceutical properties owing to these uses, but in vivo and in vitro studies are limited for clarification of medicinal activity and its antidiabetic and antioxidant properties are not investigate...

background & aim: singhnad guggulu is a traditional ayurvedic formula for detoxifying and rejuvenating the joints. the present study was to investigate the α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activities of aqueous extract of singhnad guggul (aesg). experimental: α-amylase inhibition assay by dinitro-salicylic acid method and antioxidant activity by ferric chelating and ferrous reducing ass...

alpha-amylase is widely used as an industrial enzyme, and a therapeutic target for which inhibitors are designed. organic solvents are used to dissolve various compounds that would be studied as moderators of alpha-amylases, but they could themselves affect enzyme activity and stability. methanol, ethanol and propanol are simple alcohols that may be commonly used to this end, and their effect h...

the management of postprandial hyperglycemia is an important strategy in the control of diabetes mellitus and complications associated with the disease, especially in the diabetes type 2. therefore, inhibitors of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes can be useful in the treatment of diabetes and medicinal plants can offer an attractive strategy for the purpose. vaccinium arctostaphylos leaves are c...

This study analyzed the inhibition activity of Swietenia mahagoni seeds extract on α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes inhibition assays.  Swietenia mahagoni seeds were extracted by using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction at pressures of 20- 30 MPa and temperatures of 40- 60°C.  The oil yields obtained were analyzed with α- glucosidase and α- amylase enzymes inhibition assays.  A...

it is believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes including α-amylase and α-glucosidase is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial glucose level after a meal, especially in the people with type 2 diabetes. medicinal plants and their extracts are one of the main sources to find new inhibitors to the enzymes. in our study four flavonoids, namely luteoli...
