Volatile composition, antidiabetic, and anti-obesity potential of Brassica incana leaf and flowering top extracts.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Brassica incana Ten. (Brassicaceae) is an edible plant with very limited available information. Previous studies have demonstrated the polyphenolic profile and the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of the leaf and flowering top hydroalcoholic extracts.

Objective

The volatile composition and the antidiabetic and anti-obesity potential of B. incana leaf and flowering top extracts have been investigated.

Material and methods

The volatile characterization of the extracts was attained by HS-SPME-GC/MS analysis. The antidiabetic and anti-obesity potential was investigated spectrophotometrically in vitro by the ability to modulate pancreatic lipase and α-glucosidase at different concentrations using orlistat and acarbose as reference drugs.
