Antioxidant activity, acetylcholinesterase and tyrosinase inhibitory potential of Pulmonaria officinalis and Centarium umbellatum extracts.

Summary

The study tested the antioxidant activity, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory potential, and tyrosinase inhibitory potential of two extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) of two medicinal plants. The extracts of the plants were found to have high levels of bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, flavones, and proanthocyanidins. The extracts showed significant acetylcholinesterase and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, as well as DPPH radical inhibition. These plants could potentially be used as natural sources of antioxidants in the food industry and for the management of neurodegenerative disorders.
