In vitro antidiabetic activity of Treculia africana leaf extracts: identification of chlorogenic acid and α-mangostin.

Objective: This research studied two extracts from Treculia africana leaves for their potential against hyperglycaemia-related disorders.

Methods: The influence of the extracts on α-glucosidase activity and albumin glycation was investigated, and cell viability was estimated in HT-29 human colorectal cells. Phenolic and flavonoid contents and antiradical activity were also detected.
