Enzyme Inhibitory Activities and RP-HPLC Analysis of Geranium and Erodium Species.

The genera Geranium and Erodium (Geraniaceae) have been documented to possess diverse ethnopharmacological uses, including diabetes mellitus. Relevant to their ethnopharmacological use, the current study aimed to evaluate the α-glucosidase, α-amylase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzyme inhibitory activity of ethanol extracts from 46 samples belonging to thirty-one species of Geranium (20) and Erodium (11) collected throughout Türkiye. The majority of the extracts displayed a marked α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity.

Investigation of Enzyme Inhibitory Activities, Antioxidant Activities, and Chemical Properties of Leaves Using LC-QTOF-MS and RP-HPLC.

Since the leaves of some species are used in traditional folk medicine for diabetes, this study investigated the in vitro antidiabetic effect (α-glucosidase and α-amylase) of leaves. Additionally, the current study investigated the antihypercholesterolemic (cholesterol esterase), antiobesity (pancreatic lipase), and antioxidant activities (i.e.

Standardization of Sibt. & Sm. and M. Bieb. Extracts with Carbohydrate Digestive Enzyme Inhibitory and Antioxidant Activities.

species growing in Turkey are used for various medicinal purposes in traditional folk medicine. We aimed to evaluate antidiabetic (α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition assays), antiobesity (pancreatic lipase inhibition assay), and antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities, ferric reducing activity, metal chelating activity, and phosphomolybdenum assay) activities of the extracts obtained from branches, leaves, and fruits of and . The branch (IC = 67.

Profiling the annual change of the neurobiological and antioxidant effects of five Origanum species in correlation with their phytochemical composition.

The ethanol extracts of five Origanum species: O. majorana L., O.

Preclinical Study on the Hepatoprotective Effect of Pollen Extract of Ten. (Red Pine) in Mice and Phenolic Acid Analysis.

Objectives: Many agents, including those from herbal sources, have been sought as preventives or cures for hepatotoxicity. The pollen of Ten., known as red pine (Pinaceae), is used against liver diseases in Anatolian folk medicine.

Activity-guided isolation of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase inhibitory compounds from Rhus coriaria L.

The leaves and fruits of Rhus coriaria are traditionally used in Turkey for the treatment of diabetes. The aim of the present study is to determine α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of R. coriaria leaf and fruit ethanol extracts (80%), and to isolate active compounds against these enzymes.
