Bioactive Components from Ampelopsis japonica with Antioxidant, Anti-α-Glucosidase, and Antiacetylcholinesterase Activities.

Summary

Researchers studied the antioxidant activity of different solvent extracts from the dried root of Pueraria lobata to determine their potential as natural medicine. They found that the acetone extract had strong antioxidant properties and inhibited α-glucosidase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Through HPLC analysis, the researchers isolated seven active compounds, including catechin and quercetin, which showed stronger antioxidant capacity than butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The isolated compounds also had good inhibitory effects on AChE. This study suggests that Pueraria lobata and its active extracts and components may be a promising source of natural antioxidants and inhibitors of α-glucosidase and AChE.
