Abstract
In recent years there has been increasing interest in the discovery of new natural herbal remedies for the treatment of common conditions such as diabetes and inflammatory diseases. In this context, this paper analyzed the antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory potential of two plants of the genus Artemisia: Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) and Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) plants less studied from this point of view. Thus, hydroal-coholic extracts (50% EtOH v/v, 10% mass) were made, which were processed by membrane technologies, micro- and ultrafiltration, in order to concentrate the biologically active principles. The extracts were then analyzed in terms of content in active principles of interest (polyphenols, flavones). The antidiabetic activity of the extracts was analyzed by testing their ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase and the anti-inflammatory activity by testing the ability to inhibit hyaluronidase (HYA) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Thus, the T. foenum-graecum extracts showed a high inhibitory activity on α-amylase 3.22 ± 0.3 g / mL (compared to the standard used - IC50 acarbose = 3.5 g / mL) and a high inhibitory activity on LOX: 19.69 ± 0.52 g/mL (compared to all standards used). The concentrated extract of Artemisia vulgaris showed increased activity of inhibition of α-amylase - IC50 = 8.57 ± 2.31g/mL and moderate activity of inhibition of HYA - IC50 = 17.18 g/mL compared to ibuprofen, the standard used - IC50 = 5.73 g/mL. The concentrated extract of Artemisia absinthium showed a pronounced activity of inhibition of LOX - IC50 = 19.71 g / mL, compared to the standard - rutin - IC50 = 22.34 g/mL).
