Phytochemical Screening Antioxidant and Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitory Activities of Fagopyrum tataricum L. Extract
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this work was the screening of different phytoconstituents and invitro antioxidant potential and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of aerial parts of Fagopyrum tataricum. Methods: Preliminary phytochemical screening was performed by using standard protocols. The antioxidant activity was determined by using spectroscopic method against 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and α-glucosidase inhibition assay. Results: The plant extract also shows potent antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential against the tested methods. Conclusion: From the results it seen that this plant exhibits significant antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential.
