In food ingestion, alpha-glucosidase (α-glucosidase) and alpha-amylase (α-amylase) are enzymes that are responsible to convert a carbohydrate into glucose. Inhibition of both enzyme activities can prolong absorption of glucose in intestine and reduce post-prandial increase of blood glucose concentration, thus, it is beneficial for type-2 diabetes treatment. Traditionally, Urena lobata ( U. lobata ) has been used to manage diabetes, but the scientific proof of this claim remains scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study to examine the anti-diabetic potential of U. lobata leaf extract through inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

Inhibitory activity of Urena lobata leaf extract on alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase: in vitro and in silico approach
