Abstract
In this study, the inhibiting effect on α-amylase and α-glucosidase and the antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts from flower and fruit of Capparis ovata var. palaestina was investigated. The antioxidant activity of extracts was tested with DPPH●, ABTS●+ and FRAP tests. According to the results, the highest α-glucosidase and α-amylase activity were found in fruit extract (IC50=271.72±0.41 µg/mL and 142.07±0.85 µg/mL, respectively). Also, the highest TPC (26.40±0.02mgGAE/gextract) and TFC (8.33±0.30 mgCA /gextract) was found in the same extract and this extract showed the highest DPPH● activity (%32). Although, flower extract showed the highest FRAP values (at a concentration of 1 mg/mL equivalent to 262.69±2.27 mmol Fe2+) and ABTS+● (at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL equivalent to 0.18±0.01 µM Trolox) activity. In conclusion, it is thought that these studies will be shed light on future studies on this species.
