AN INVESTIGATION OF SOME BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF FRUITS AND LEAVES EXTRACT FROM Caryota mitis L. PLANT: EVALUATING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL GLUCOSE THROUGH a-GLUCOSIDASE ACTIVITY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Two of the ethanol extracts which are from the leaves and fruits of Caryota mitis L. have been studied on the biological activities. The results indicate that the biological activities such as: anti-oxidant, a-glucosidase inhibitor, anticancer (Hep-G2 and A549), and anti-microbial of the fruits are better than those of the leaves. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory activities of the leaves are 1,13 times better than those of the fruits. The best one is a-glucosidase inhibitor. With the aim to provide data for traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes, the ability to regulate glucose has been implemented on Balb/C mice. The results indicate that there is no toxicity in these two extracts, and they initially can regulate blood glucose levels.
