Abstract
The present study was performed to investigate the enzyme inhibitory and antidiabetic activities of the constituents isolated from Callistemon lanceolatus. The leaves of C. lanceolatus were extracted with successively with petroleum ether, dichloromethane and methanol. The dried dichloromethane and methanol extracts were subjected to fractionation and chromatographic separation, which led to the isolation of seven compounds: 3-epi-betulinic acid (1), 3- epi-ursolic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), ursolic acid (4), lup-12, 20(29)-diene-3α-ol-28-oic acid (5), heptacosenone (6) and kaempferol (7). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies as well as by comparison with the data available in the literature. Among these isolates, compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 were evaluated for in vitro enzyme inhibition effect. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 showed 38.34, 52.59, 62.4, 54.95 and 32.43 % α-amylase inhibition respectively and 49.27, 53.34, 84.2, 67.98 and 52.25 % α-glucosidase inhibition respectively at the concentration of 50 µg/kg. Compounds 3, 4 and 7 were also showed antidiabetic activity in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic mice at the dose of 10 mg/kg.
Keywords: α-amylase inhibition, antidiabetic, Callistemon lanceolatus, α-glucosidase inhibition, streptozotocin-nicotinamide, ursolic acid.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
