Inhibitors ofα-glucosidase andα-amylase fromCyperus rotundus

Abstract: Context: A methanol extract of Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae) rhizomes showed inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase and a-amylase, two enzymes involve in carbohydrate digestion. Objective: Identification of compounds from C. rotundus rhizomes responsible for the inhibition of a-glucosidase and a-amylase. Materials and methods: Compounds were identified by a phytochemical investigation using combined chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. a-glucosidase and a-amylase inhibitory activities were evaluate… Show more

“…The porcine pancreas α -amylase (A3176, Sigma-Aldrich) enzyme inhibitory activity was carried out according to the standard method with minor modifications [2022]. The substrate was prepared by boiling 100 mg potato starch in 5 mL phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) for 5 min and then cooling to room temperature.…”

“…Furthermore, constituent 1 has β-secretase and Aβ inhibitory activities ( Jeon et al ., 2007 ; Rivière et al ., 2010 ; Richard et al ., 2011 ), but the direct neuroprotective effects of constituent 1 were demonstrated for the first time in the present study. Several studies have reported that constituent 2 exhibits anti-oxidative, anti-diabetic, and anti-photoaging activities, as well as vasorelaxing effects ( Kobayashi et al ., 2006 ; Sano et al ., 2011 ; Maruki-Uchida et al ., 2013 ; Tran et al ., 2014 ), while no study on the neuroprotective effects of constituent 2 has been reported. However, further investigation is necessary to confirm these effects in animal models and to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotection of constituents 1 and 2.…”
