Antioxidant,a-amylase inhibitory and antiglycation activity of Berberis royleana roots

摘要

In the current research,work,the plant roots were investigated for their antioxidant,α-arnylase inhibitory and antiglycation activities.The results obtained revealed that the maximum antioxidant activity 1.984% was exhibited by an aqueous traction at a concentration of hug/ml.The maximum a-amylase inhibition was exhibited by ethyl acetate 1.864% and n-hexane fraction 1.483% at a concentration of lmg/ml while the chloroform and aqueous fraction exhibits minimum inhibition 0.075% and 0.073% at 0.613mg/ml concentration.The chloroform fraction exhibited maximum antiglycation potential of 12% at 0.5μg/ml while the minimum potential was 5.5% exhibited by ethyl acetate fraction at a concentration of lug/ml.The results obtained revealed the medicinal importance of the plant and will help the researchers to exploit the phytoehemicals for antioxidant,a-amylase inhibitory and antiglycation activities.
