Article Synopsis
- Saponin extract from a South African plant shows promising antioxidant and antidiabetic properties.
- The extract exhibited stronger radical scavenging capabilities and enzyme inhibition compared to known substances like quercetin and acarbose.
- Results indicate that saponin acts as a competitive inhibitor for α-amylase and an uncompetitive inhibitor for α-glucosidase, suggesting its potential as a natural remedy for diabetes and oxidative stress.
Root aqueous extract of Lecaniodiscus cupanioides was evaluated for antimalarial activity and analyzed for its phytochemical constituents.
