Investigation reveals antioxidant and α-amylase inhibitory activities in Punica granatum root extracts, suggesting potential for diabetes management.

The aqueous extract of Punica granatum roots exhibited superior antioxidant activities across various assays.
DPPH radical scavenging activity was measured at 81.88%, demonstrating a strong capacity to neutralize free radicals.
These extracts show significant α-amylase inhibitory activity at 88%, indicating potential anti-diabetic properties.
Future research should isolate and evaluate specific bioactive compounds in animal models for diabetes treatment.

Manjunathan et al. (2025) studied this question.
