Phytochemical Study of Curcuma Longa and Their Potential As Anti-Diabetic Properties
BMC 227 - Basic Pharmacology
17 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2021
In this case study, we investigated the effect of Curcuma longa as an antidiabetic. It was found that Curcuma longa has the antidiabetic properties due to their significant active compounds in Curcuma longa that can inhibit the carbohydrate hydrolysis enzymes such as α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, β-glucosidase inhibitory activity and α-amylase inhibitory activity. Moreover, curcumin, a chemical found in Curcuma longa has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Hence, it is undeniable that the botanicals play an important role in the management of diabetes by delaying the development of diabetic complications and correcting the metabolic abnormalities. Plants have been a good source of medicine for the treatment of various type of disease, still many plants and active compounds obtained from plants have not been well characterized.
