Article Synopsis
- Gustavia gracillima Miers is a widely distributed plant in neotropical regions, but its chemical composition and biological effects were previously unexplored until now.
- A methanol extract from its flowers revealed nine ellagic acid derivatives and twelve kaempferol glycosides, with significant inhibitory activity on carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, particularly yeast α-glucosidase, which could have implications for diabetes management.
- The extract also displayed notable effects on aldose reductase and scavenging properties for reactive species, suggesting its potential use in herbal anti-diabetic formulations and addressing related complications like triglyceride metabolism and inflammation.
