“…Theaflavins in black tea possess a potent antihyperglycemic function 41 ; the mechanism involves the delay or inhibition of glucose production in the small intestine by inhibiting of α-glucosidase activity. The same effects were observed for green tea polyphenols and procyanidins from French maritime pine bark extract pycnogenol 42,43 . Angelika et al also previously reported that the inhibitory effect of pycnogenol on α-glucosidase activity increased depending on the degree of polymerization of procyanidins 43 .…”

“…Furthermore, in spite of abundant reports on the a-glucosidase inhibitory activities of extracts and pure compounds from plants from different parts of the world, only a few authors (21) reported such a low IC 50 value as found with the butanol fraction in our study. This observation might be connected to the high phenolic content recorded in this fraction, because polyphenolic fractions from plants have been shown to inhibit a-glucosidase activity, allowing for tighter control of blood glucose (22). Furthermore, Mai et al (23) reported a strong positive correlation between the polyphenolic content and a-glucosidase inhibitory effects of 28 extracts from Vietnamese edible plants, but also suggested that the enzymatic inhibition might depend on the type of polyphenolic.…”

“…The bark extract significantly chelates Fe 2+ in a concentration dependent manner (1-5 mg/mL). By chelating been shown to inhibit α-glucosidase activity, allowing for tighter control of blood glucose (Kamiyama et al 2010). The inhibitory effects of the extract of the B. sapida stem bark on the α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities may be attributed to the presence of phytochemicals such as polyphenols, tannins and saponins.…”
