Overview

In vitro evaluation shows selected medicinal plants inhibit key enzymes in obesity and diabetes, suggesting new therapies.

Key Points

  • Alhagi maurorum extract prominently inhibited α-glucosidase, indicating its potential as an antidiabetic agent.
  • The IC50 value for α-glucosidase inhibition by A. maurorum was 45.16 µg/mL, highlighting its strong activity.
  • The evaluation included 14 plants, assessing their effects on key enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
  • High levels of flavonoids in specific extracts reflect their strong antioxidant activity, indicating dual health benefits.
