Abstract
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors were screened from organic solvent extracts of macroalgae by a spectrophotometrical method with p-nitrophenyl-D-glucopyranosidase as the substrate. The result indicates that organic crude extracts from some macroalgae such as ”Rhodomela confervoides” (Huds.) Silva, ”Gracilaria textorii” (Suringar) DeToni, ”Plocamium telfairiae” Harv., ”Dictyopteris divaricata” (Okam.) Okam, ”Ulval pertusa” and ”Enteromorpha intestinalis” (L.) Link et al. show strong inhibitory activity of alpha-glucosidase at concentration of 79.6μg/ml.
