Abstract:Objective: Magnesium oxide nanoparticle green synthesis is said to have a wide range of biomedical uses. Inhibiting the activity of pancreatic enzymes is one method for treating diabetes. The goal of this study was to show in-vitro evidence that Saccharum officinarum magnesium oxide nanoparticles may inhibit the activity of the enzyme α-glucosidase. This study had a therapeutic focus as this could be emerging candidates of new drugs for controlling hyperglycemia. Materials and Procedures: Saccharum officinarum… Show more
