Abstract
ABSTRACT The flavonoids and phenolics contents, antioxidant potential, and enzymes (α-amylase, lipase, elastase, tyrosinase, acetylcholinesterase, and butyrylcholinesterase) inhibition potential of leaf extracts from Elaeocarpus sphaericus, Santalum album, Pterocarpus santalinus, and Ziziphus budhensis collected from Ramechhap District of Nepal were evaluated. DPPH assay was used to determine the antioxidant potential, and the DNSA method was used to examine α-amylase inhibition activity. P-NPB, L-DOPA, AAAPVN, acetylthiocholine iodide, and butyrylthiocholine iodide were used as respective substrates for the determination of lipase, tyrosinase, elastase, acetylcholinesterase, and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition activities. The crude extract of P. santalinus showed inhibitory potential against all enzymes, whereas E. sphaericus, S. album, and Z. budhensis extracts showed moderate inhibition activity. However, S. album did not inhibit lipase, elastase, and tyrosinase.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
