Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that can be identified by high levels of blood glucose. Garcinia plants have been widely used for many traditional medicines as antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetics, and antiinflammation. The antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of (Garcinia picrorrhiza Miq.) or sesoot fruit extract were evaluated in this study and compared with xanthone. The antioxidant and antidiabetic of ethanolic ripe sesoot (G. picrorrhiza Miq.) fruit extract (GpKar) was evaluated by 2,2-Azinobis 3-ethyl benzothiazoline 6-sulfonic acid (ABTS •+ ) reducing activity, α-Glucosidase, β-Glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibitor activity. GpKar showed higher ABTS •+ -reducing activity (IC 50 = 49.30 µg/mL) than xanthone (IC 50 = 404.30 µg/mL). GpKar showed IC 50 = 109.32 µg/mL for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, while xanthones had a better activity (IC 50 = 33.97 µg/mL). GpKar also showed lower α-amylase inhibitory activity and β-Glucosidase (IC 50 = 126.01 and 9432.09 µg/mL) compared to xanthone (IC 50 = 44.32 and 405.03 µg/mL, respectively). The compounds of GpKar are proven to have antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Therefore, it will be industrially relevant to develop a natural medicine for decreasing DM risk, thus evaluating the antioxidant and antidiabetic effect of G. picrorrhiza by a pre-clinic study is needed.
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.
