Bioassay Guided Fractionation and α-Amylase Inhibitory Activity of Lupeol from the stem bark of Faidherbia albida Del. Mimosaceae
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The present study was designed to isolate active compound(s) through activity guided isolation using α-amylase inhibitory activity of crude extract and fractions of Faidherbia albida . The crude and fractions were subjected to inhibitory effect on α-amylase. The ethylacetate fraction showed 91.63% inhibition of the enzyme, column chromatography of the ethylacetate fraction afforded the Compound EFAE 5 which inhibited the enzyme by 82.88% and showed significant α-amylase inhibition. Spectral analysis of the isolated compound confirmed it to be Lupeol by comparison of the spectral data with literature.
