Plants are the prime source of phytoconstituents that can act as potent agents for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Heterospathe elata is a plant belonging to the Arecaceae family having numerous medicinal properties. The present study aimed to investigate the antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities of green solvent extracts of Heterospathe elata fruit.
The extraction was carried out with green solvents like isopropyl alcohol, hydro alcohol, and water with increasing order of polarity. In-vitro antidiabetic activity was evaluated by alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase inhibition assays. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by the Bovin denaturation method and HRBC membrane stabilization.
Our results revealed that out of three green extracts hydro alcohol extract of Heterospathe elata fruit had the highest antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity.
The results suggest that the fruit of Heterospathe elata is a potential source of antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties.
