This study was performed to analyze the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in fronds of 3 Dryopteris species, D. crassirhizoma, D. nipponensis and D. fragrans var. remotiuscula, and in rhizomes of D. crassirhizoma and D. nipponensis, and then to explore the natural materials for developing natural α-glucosidase inhibitors. An analysis was performed using the crude extract of fronds and rhizomes obtained through 30 minutes ultra sonification extraction in 42 kHz ultrasonic water tank with 100% methanol, as a solvent, after the freeze drying and grinding. As a result of the analysis of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, in respect of IC50 values of fronds and rhizomes, D. nipponensis was the highest as 4.13 and 2.19μg·mL respectively among 3 Dryopteris species and their inhibitory activities were 342 and 646 times higher than acarbose(IC50=1413.70μg·mL) used as control group, respectively. In respect of the biomass required to inhibit 50% of α-glucosidase activity, the fronds and rhizomes of D. nipponensis required the least as 0.04 and 0.05mg, respectively. From the crude extract, D. nipponensis with high α-glucosidase activity and less required biomass was selected. And then the crude extract was subdivided by the solution in the order of n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water in order to analyze α-glucosidase inhibitory activity as well as the biomass required for each fraction comparatively. The fronds of D. nipponensis was high in n-butanol fraction(1.09μg·mL), and the rhizome was high in water fraction(9.36μg·mL), indicating the inhibitory activity 1297 and 151 times higher than acarbose, respectively. The required biomass of the fronds and rhizomes of D. nipponensis were highest in n-butanol and water fraction. As a result of this study, the crude extract of D. nipponensis showed high α-glucosidase inhibitory activity requiring a small amount of biomass. Thus, its value for the development to antidiabetic agent is considered very high.
