Abstract: The α-amylase inhibition potential of extracts of Kedrostis foetidissima (Jacq.)cogn. was determined through Dinitro salicylic acid method. The IE50 of all eight extracts show excellent inhibition activity.IE50 of the extracts ranges from 21.02 µg/ml (KFSEA) to 37.14 µg/ml (KFSPE). Ethyl acetate and ethanol extract show excellent inhibition efficiency at 30 µg/ml which is comparatively higher than that of the standard drug Acarbose revealing this plant to be a potent natural remedy for diabetic patients, without side effects.
Keywords: Antidiabetic, Kedrostis foetidissima, α-amylase.
