Comparative profiling of secondary metabolites and antidiabetic properties of Anogeissus leiocarpus (DC.) Guill. & Perr. (Combretaceae) extracts
Abstract
Background:
Diabetes
mellitus
is
a
chronic
metabolic
condition
which
can
result
in
severe
long-term
complications,
and
current
treatments
often
have
significant
side
effects.
As
result,
there
growing
interest
identifying
novel
α-amylase
α-glucosidase
inhibitors
with
improved
safety
profiles.
Natural
products
emerged
as
promising
source
of
such
compounds.
In
this
study,
we
investigated
the
antidiabetic

&
Perr.
Methods:
Dried

We
assessed

The

Results:
