Abstract
- Abstract: Flavan-3-ol oligomers from the stems of Cynomorium songaricum were found to show potent SOD-like activity with one of the dimers being most potent. The flavan-3-ols also showed inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase, implying the beneficial effects of this herb on diabetes patients. The total (extractable and non-extractable) tannin content of this herb was found to be as high as 18.3%. The contents of catechin, flavan-3-ol oligomers and extractable tannins using 70% acetone, methanol or water were analysed. It was found that 70% acetone was the most efficient extract solvent amongst these three solvents, especially for higher flavan-3-ol oligomers. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
