Inhibition of alpha-glucosidase and amylase by luteolin, a flavonoid.
TL;DR: Luteolin inhibited alpha-glucosidase by 36% at the concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and was stronger than acarbose, the most widely prescribed drug, in inhibitory potency, suggesting that it has the possibility to effectively suppress postprandial hyperglycemia in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of 18 prenylated flavonoids isolated from medicinal plants: Morus alba L., Morus mongolica Schneider, Broussnetia papyrifera (L.) Vent, Sophora flavescens Ait and Echinosophora koreensis Nakai
TL;DR: The results support the use of prenylated flavonoids in Asian traditional medicine to treat microbial infection and indicate a high potential for prenylonoids as antimicrobial agents as well as anti-inflammatory agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidative and hypolipidemic effects of diosgenin, a steroidal saponin of yam (Dioscorea spp.), on high-cholesterol fed rats
TL;DR: It is suggested that diosgenin could be a very useful compound to control hypercholesterolemia by both improving the lipid profile and modulating oxidative stress.
