  • Screening of phenolic compounds reveals inhibitory activity of nordihydroguaiaretic acid against three enzymes involved in the regulation of blood glucose level
    Roškar, Irena, 1985- ; Štrukelj, Borut ; Lunder, Mojca, 1977-
    In this work we have focused on the inhibition of three different enzymes with a role in postprandial glucose management: alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase 4. The assortment ... of 29 monomeric phenolic compounds was first screened at a single concentration. Next, the IC50 values of tested compounds were evaluated for compounds that considerably inhibited any of the enzymes. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid, a phenolic compound abundant in Creosote bush Larrea tridentata, possessed inhibitory activity for all tested enzymes. This in vitro mechanism of action supports traditional use of Creosote bush in diabetes treatment.
