IN- VITRO STUDY ON ALPHA AMYLASE AND ALPHA GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITIORY ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC STEM EXTRACT - PARTHENIUM HYSTEROPHORUS LINN
The present study deals with evaluation of inhibitory activity on ethanolic extract of stem, Partheniumhysterophorus Linn. On alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase enzymes at varying concentrations. The IC 50 values of ethanolic stem extract Partheniumhysterophorus was 27.98 ?g /ml and 108.94?g/ml for alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase inhibition. This study suggest that ethanolic stem extract P.hysterophorus indicates the potential of extract to manage diabetes with excellent anti – diabetic activity
