Antidiabetic Indian Plants: A Good Source of Potent Amylase Inhibitors

Table 3

Percent enzyme inhibition shown by plant extracts with liver glucosidases.

Acarbose (95.61 ± 2.36)	(%) Glucosidases inhibition activity
	Methanol	Aqueous	Chloroform
Murraya koenigii (L.) Sprengel	ND	ND	ND
Bougainvillea spectabilis	33.09 ± 3.02	ND	ND
Ocimum tenuiflorum (L.)	ND	26.65 ± 3.98	ND
Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels	55.08 ± 3.32**	ND	ND
Azadirachta indica Adr. Juss	52.10 ± 3.31**	69.28 ± 2.59*	ND

The table shows percent inhibitory activity of liver glucosidases using plant extracts. The data is indicated as the mean ± SEM; (n = 3). Two-tailed t-test was applied. Values with different asterisks (*, **) shows significant difference with (*) denoting more significant value, P <  .05, two-tailed student t-test. ND defines no enzyme inhibition.
