Inhibitory activity of xanthoangelol isolated from Ashitaba ( Koidzumi) towards α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV: and studies.

In Indonesia, the sap Koidzumi has been utilized traditionally as a blood-sugar reducer, nonetheless, its molecular mechanism still needs to be studied. This study aimed to isolate xanthoangelol (XA) from the yellow sap of planted in Mount Rinjani, Indonesia, and to investigate its mechanism by and methods towards α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV). The dried yellow sap was macerated using ethanol, subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using a different polarity of solvents, further gradient-eluted with column chromatography.
