Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Digestive Enzymes Inhibition Activities of Hydro-Ethanolic Leaf and Bark Extracts of (K. Krause) Verdc.

hydro-ethanolic leaf extract (PHELE) and bark extract (PHEBE) were evaluated for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and inhibition of digestive enzymes activities. The antioxidant activity was characterized by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) assays. The anti-inflammatory activity was characterized by protein denaturation and antiproteinase tests, while the inhibition of the enzymes was assessed using -amylase, -glucosidase, lipase, and cholesterol esterase activities.

In Vitro Antilipidic and Antithrombotic Activities of (Lamiaceae) Leaves Extracts and Fractions.

Objective: The present study investigated the effect of the leaves extracts and fractions of on the inhibition of pancreatic lipase, cholesterol esterase, adipocytes lipid uptake, and antithrombotic activity which may be important in atherosclerosis development.

Methods: Aqueous, ethanolic, and hydroethanolic extracts of were prepared by maceration. The hydroethanolic extract was fractionated into -hexane, ethylacetate, and butanol fractions and their inhibition of pancreatic lipase, cholesterol esterase, adipocytes lipid uptake, and antithrombotic activities measured.
