Phenol-rich fraction of Newbouldia laevis inhibited alpha-amylase activity, indicating its potential in managing diabetes.
The ethyl acetate fraction showed higher total phenolic content, with the highest inhibition recorded by starch-iodine method.
Evaluation used two in vitro models, demonstrating significant inhibitory effects with results correlated between methods.
Findings support further research into phenolic compounds for diabetes treatment, requiring in vivo efficacy assessment.
