Antidiabetic Indian Plants: A Good Source of Potent Amylase Inhibitors

<table>The percent relative enzyme activity after inhibition with (a) <i>M. koenigii</i> (b) <i>B. spectabilis</i> (c) <i>O. tenuflorum</i> (d) <i>S. cumini</i>, extracts on porcine pancreatic <i>α</i>-amylase. Acarbose is taken as standard <i>α</i>-amylase inhibitor. Pure porcine pancreatic <i>α</i>-amylase serves as control. The data is indicated as the mean ± SEM; (<i>n</i> = 3). Data with different asterisks (*, **, ***) shows significant difference with (*) denoting more significant value (<i>P</i> &lt;  .05), two-tailed student <i>t</i>-test.</table>
