Study on the α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity of Limonium bicolor Kuntze

摘要

The antidiabetic activities of the extracts with different solvents and methods from Limonium bicolor Kuntze were investigated. It was found that all the extracts with ethanol, petroleum ether, EtOAc, n-BuOH and H_2O from the underground part of the plant possessed the α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity, and the fractions from the 80% ethanol extracts possessed strong activity. The extracts eluted with water from the 80% ethanol crude extract of the aerial part of the plant were inactive to α-Glucosidase inhibition, the other extracts from the aerial part all give potent α-Glucosidase inhibition activity.
