Inhibition rates were calculated as percentages with respect to the control value. The I C 5 0 values of each sample were estimated from the least-squares regression line of the logarithmic concentration plotted against inhibitory activity. aAminoguanidine was used as positive control. Inhibitory effect was expressed as mean ± SD of triplicate experiments.
