Assessment and In Vitro Studies of Potent Amylase Inhibitor from Different Plant Species
Abstract: Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds widely distributed in plants, which have hypoglycemic potential. Amylase inhibitors belong to flavonoids that block amylases which are involved in hydrolyzing the carbohydrates to yield low molecular weight dextrin and sugars. Inhibition of α-amylase along with α-glucosidase can significantly reduce the post-prandial increase of blood glucose and can be an important strategy in the control of blood glucose level in the type-2 diabetic patients. In …
