<i>In Vitro</i>Inhibition of<i>α</i>‐Amylase and<i>α</i>‐Glucosidase by Extracts from<i>Psiadia punctulata</i>and<i>Meriandra bengalensis</i>

Abstract

<i>P. punctulata</i> and <i>M. bengalensis</i> extracts have moderate inhibitory activity against pancreatic <i>α</i>-amylase and relatively low inhibitory activities against <i>α</i>-glucosidase. The observed effects may be associated with the presence of flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids. Additional <i>in vivo</i> analysis, toxicological studies, isolation, and structural characterization of the phytomolecules identified in this study and molecular docking studies should be undertaken.
