dc.description.abstract | Diabetes a major degenerative disease of global concern accounts for about 3.2 million deaths annually. Alpha-amylase inhibitors from plants are effective in managing postprandial hyperglycaemia which is significant in Type 2 diabetes. Search for natural anti-oxidants has increased recently because free radicals production has been linked to a number of diseases including diabetes. Anthocleista djalonensis and Anthocleista vogelii are used traditionally in Nigeria and parts of Africa to treat diabetes. This study was aimed at evaluating the α-amylase inhibition, anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic effects of extracts and compounds of both plants to verify their traditional use. The leaves, stem bark and roots of both plants were collected along Ijebu-Ode – Benin road and authenticated at the Herbarium of the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan. The plant samples were macerated in 80% aqueous methanol for 72 h. Each crude extract, suspended in water: methanol (4:1) was partitioned into ethyl acetate. The crude extracts and ethyl acetate fractions of the leaves and stem bark of both plants were subjected to in vitro α-amylase inhibition assay with acarbose as positive control. The anti-oxidant activity was evaluated using 2, 2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl with α-tocopherol as control, while anti-diabetic properties of the crude extracts were studied in vivo using 45 albino wistar rats (150-200 g) of both sexes. The rats were made diabetic with 80 mg/kg of alloxan and treated with the extracts (1 g/kg) for seven days; glibenclamide 2.5 mg/kg was used as reference. Blood glucose levels (BGL) were monitored daily. Bioassay-guided fractionation and chromatographic methods were used to isolate active compounds from the ethyl acetate fractions of both plants. Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques: infra-red, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (one-dimensional and two-dimensional). Data were analysed statistically using ANOVA at p<0.001. Anthocleista djalonensis leaf and stem bark crude extracts gave highest α-amylase inhibition of 42.8% and 41% with their ethyl acetate fractions also producing the highest α-amylase inhibition of 50.0% and 36.6% at 1.0 mg/mL while acarbose gave 54.9%. The crude extract and ethyl acetate fraction of A. vogelii leaf gave 80.7% and 87.4% inhibitions at 1.0 mg/mL in the anti-oxidant assay while α-tocopherol gave 89.5%. Peak reduction in BGL was observed for A. djalonensis stem bark and leaf crude extracts at 72.6% and 45.7% on day-6 of treatment while the stem bark and leaf extracts of A. vogelii gave 68.9% and 60.4%, respectively on day-7. The root extracts of both plants also caused peak reduction in BGL at 48.5% on day-7 while glibenclamide had 57.4%. Bioassay-guided fractionation furnished djalonenol, a monoterpene diol with a significant α-amylase inhibition of 53.7% from fraction 11 of the stem bark of A. djalonensis and decussatin, a xanthone with significant inhibition of 78.0% from fraction 5 of the leaves and stem bark of A .vogelii. The presence of α-amylase inhibitors, djalonenol and decussatin from both plants makes them important in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and could be responsible for their anti-diabetic effect. Anthocleista vogelii could be a source of anti-oxidant compounds. | en_US |
