Inhibitors ofα-glucosidase andα-amylase fromCyperus rotundus

Context: A methanol extract of Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae) rhizomes showed inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, two enzymes involve in carbohydrate digestion.Objective: Identification of compounds from C. rotundus rhizomes responsible for the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase.Materials and methods: Compounds were identified by a phytochemical investigation using combined chromatographic and spectroscopic methods....
