Summary, etc. |
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Ehretia </em><em>acuminata</em> is native to Southeast Asia, America, and Africa. It is commonly used as fodder and in quite a variety of medicinal applications. <em>E. </em><em>acuminata</em> is widely used in India, but there are few reports in the literature of studies on its biological properties. In this study, the antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities of plant <em>E. acuminata </em>was evaluated. The antidiabetic activity of the different extracts was measured by α-amylase and α-glycosidase inhibition method. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by the egg albumin of hen. Petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and water extracts of bark of <em>E. acuminata </em>was evaluated for <em>in-vitro</em> anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activity. Ethyl acetate and ethanol extract showed significant anti-inflammatory effects (IC<sub>50 </sub>170 and 172 µg/mL respectively). Chloroform is the only extract that showed significant inhibition against the antidiabetic effect (IC<sub>50 </sub>42-45 µg/mL). The findings suggest that the bark of <em>E. acuminata </em>contains potential antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory compounds, which could be tested as drug candidates against diabetic and inflammation-related pathological processes in medicinal chemistry studies.</p> |
