Exploring antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibition in L. extracts: a comprehensive phytochemical study.

This study analysed extracts obtained from the leaves of , , and to determine their chemical composition, antioxidative properties, and α-glucosidase inhibitory capacity. By using liquid chromatography with a diode array detector, we identified chlorogenic acids, flavonoids, tannins, proanthocyanidins, saponins, and triterpenes in the extracts. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were found to be directly related to their total phenolic, flavonoid content and enzyme inhibition.
