Abstract
Objective: The objective of this work was the screening of different phytoconstituents and invitro antioxidant potential and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of aerial parts of Fagopyrum tataricum.
Methods: Preliminary phytochemical screening was performed by using standard protocols. The antioxidant activity was determined by using spectroscopic method against 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and α-glucosidase inhibition assay.
Results: The plant extract also shows potent antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential against the tested methods.
Conclusion: From the results it seen that this plant exhibits significant antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential.
Keywords: Fagopyrum tataricum L., phytoconstituents, antioxidant, DPPH, α-glucosidase inhibition
