Resumo(s)
In this work, we report the in vitro inhibitory potential of Rumex maderensis methanolic extracts (leaves, flowers,
and stems) towards key digestive enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes and obesity (α-amylase, α-glucosidase,
pancreatic lipase). The inhibitory activity towards aldose reductase and glycation of bovine serum albumin
(BSA) is also reported; in these latter assays, the effect of simulated digestion on the bioactivities was evaluated.
The inhibitory activities of R. maderensis extracts were statistically compared with the inhibition produced by
reference compounds for each assay. The analysed extracts exhibited significant inhibitory activities, which
decreased after the gastrointestinal digestion, possibly due to some loss of phenolics that took place during the
digestion process. The most important results were observed during the BSA-glycation assay, in which the
analysed extracts presented higher potency than a reference compound: aminoguanidine (AMG). This research is
the first showing the potential anti-diabetic activity of R. maderensis.
