EVALUATION OF ANTIDIABETIC AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITIES OF SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS
Abstract
The possibilities of using local plants with unknown medicinal properties as pancreatic α-amylase inhibitors were investigated. Among the 8 selected plants, it was found that the concentration of 100 mg/ml of ethanol extracts of frankincense, chamomile, and marigold (80%, 77%, and 72% in appropriate growth) has a high inhibitory activity. Anti-inflammatory properties of drugs used in the treatment of diabetes have been proven to be an effective tool in reducing diabetes-related complications. Accordingly, the anti-inflammatory properties of ethanol extracts of frankincense, chamomile and marigold plants were studied. Extracts of these plants stabilized the heat-induced red blood cell membrane. Frankincense showed 82%, chamomile 79% and lavender 85% anti-inflammatory activity. Accordingly, extracts of these plants are promising in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
