Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most occurring non-communicable disease resulting in a high blood glucose level. There has been an immense interest in the development of alternative medicines for diabetes treatment, specifically screening functional foods for phytochemicals with the capability of delaying or preventing glucose absorption through digestive enzymes (e.g. α-amylase) inhibition. So, the development of α-amylase inhibitors derived from natural food products is an alternative way to prevent diabetes mellitus Objective: In this study, organic solvent extracts of the Arachis hypogaea (Peanut) and Cinnamomum tamala (Indian bay leaf /Tejpata) were used to investigate their potential α-amylase inhibition and cytotoxic activities through α-amylase inhibition assay and brine shrimp lethality bioassay respectively Method: The α-amylase inhibition assay was performed using the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method for different concentrations of plant extracts. The optical density (OD) of the solutions were measured to determine the inhibition activity at 540 nm using a spectrophotometer. The cytotoxicity of the plant extracts was measured using brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality bioassay Results: Among the different organic solvent extracts, peanut seed ethanol extract showed the highest α-amylase inhibition activity (67.68±8.67%) at 1.25 μg/mL concentration with an IC50 value of 0.61 μg/mL which is very close to standard α-amylase inhibitor Acarbose (72.34±4.23%) with an IC50 value of 0.32 μg/mL while acetone extract of Indian bay leaf exhibited the lowest inhibition activity (47.75±1.63%) with an IC50 value of 1.42 μg/mL at the same concentration. Besides, the maximum cytotoxic activity was found in acetone extract of peanut shell with an LC50 value of 57.87 μg/mL whereas ethanol extract of peanut seed showed the lowest cytotoxicity with an LC50 value of 413.90 μg/mL Conclusion: The result of the present work clearly indicates the potentiality of peanut seed ethanol extract to be used in the management of hyperglycemia as it significantly inhibits α-amylase activity while showing less cytotoxic activities

Abstract : This study aims to determine the antidiabetic activity and toxicity of the acetone extract of Tristaniopsis merguensis Griff leaf. The antidiabetic test was the α-glucosidase inhibition method, while the toxicity test used the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The acetone extract possessed antidiabetic activity with an IC50 value of 8.83 ± 0.31 (μg/mL). This value is not much different from the positive control of quercetin which has an IC50 value of 6.04 ± 0.14 (μg/mL). The characteristics of the FT-IR spectrum of acetone extract showed that Tristaniopsis merguensis leaf has the groups Ar-OH (phenolic), -OH (hydroxyl), C=O (ketone) and C=C (aromatic). Based on the toxicity test, the Tristaniopsis merguensis leaf acetone extract has an LC50 value of 959.25 ppm which means that the acetone extract is toxic. Therefore, the acetone extract of Tristaniopsis merguensis might be the potential agent of antidiabetic.Abstrak : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas antidiabetes dan toksisitas dari ekstrak aseton daun Tristaniopsis merguensis Griff.
