Article Synopsis
- The "bud of Wight," traditionally used as herbal tea by the Yi people in Yunnan, China, was analyzed for its chemical constituents and health benefits.
- Five fractions were created from the methanol extract, with one fraction (ethyl acetate) showing the highest levels of beneficial compounds and the strongest activity against key enzymes and oxidative damage.
- The study suggests that flavonoids and phenolic acids found in the bud are mainly responsible for its enzyme inhibitory effects, antioxidant properties, and protection against cell damage.
