Background: Trigonella foenum-graecum is one of the commonly used herbs in food. Moringa oleifera is a source of food, accommodation and conventional medicine for many peoples in the developing countriesThe seeds of both the plants were explored for antidiabetic potential. Methods: The current work was designed to probe the in vitro anti diabetic potential of the aqueous seed elicit of trigonella foenum- graceus and Moringa oleifera using the enzymes alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase.Both the extracts were screened for their phytochemicals and antioxidant potential was also analysed.The data were examine statistically by a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test was used to see the statistical significance in conjunction with groups. The results with the p<0.05 level were considered to be statistically significant. Result: Due to its chemical ingredient and active compounds like amino acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, it proceeds as a good antioxidant. Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract exhibited comparatively higher antidiabetic potential with an IC50 of 300µg/ml than the Moringa oleifera extract. Results of the work designate that both extracts of the plant possessed by forbidding alpha amylase, alpha glucosidase show maximum inhibition. Hence concluded that, Trigonella foenum graecum leaves might be considered as herbal remedies for diabetes. Conclusion: In vitro antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of seed elicit of Trigonella foenum-graecum and Moringa oleifera were analyzed and compared. This study shows that Trigonella foenum-graecum has higher antidiabetic potential than the Moringa oleifera extract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
