Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antidiabetic, antioxidant and phytochemical composition of polyphenol rich fraction of Nelumbo nucifera. Phytochemicals were analyzed through chemical tests, thin layer chromatography (TLC). Polyphenol rich fraction of N. nucifera was evaluated for antidiabetic, antioxidant potential via the inhibition of amylase and glucosidase. Polyphenol rich fraction of N. nucifera had the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents (67.80±1.62 µg GAE/g, 51,36±1,78 µg QE/g. Polyphenol rich fraction of N. nucifera considerably inhibited the amylase and glucosidase at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. The lowest EC50 (64.98 and 66.23 μg/mL) observed in the amylase and glucosidase assay. Positive correlations were observed between total phenolics, antidiabetic, antioxidant potential of the selected plant extracts, indicating a significant contribution of phenolic compounds in the plant extracts to these activities.
