Type 2 diabetes is a fairly common chronic disease. α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase, as enzymes, play an important role in type 2 diabetes. This study evaluates the inhibitory effect of the two enzymes in vitro of ethanol extract and fractions of Vietnam Psidium guajava’s leaves. The leaves were collected, dried and extracted with 96% ethanol and successively fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and butanol solvents. The results show that the EtOH extract, n-nexan, EtOAc and BuOH fractions had high α-glucosidase inhibitory effect with IC50 values ​​of 2.20; 2.53; 2.24 and 2.16 µg/mL, respectively. In addition, EtOAc and BuOH fractions also show strong inhibitory PTP1B effect with IC50 at 120.22 mg/mL and 97.72 mg/mL, respectively. The study results show that Psidium guajava leaves are a potential source of material to inhibit α-glucosidase and PTP1B in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract Type 2 diabetes can elevate risk of gastric cancer and metformin, an anti-diabetic agent, has an inhibitory effect against gastric cancer cell in vitro. However, the effect of metformin on type 2 diabetes-related gastric tumorigenesis in vivo is still not clear. In the present study, we aim to detect whether metformin can inhibit increased risk of gastric cancer in diabetic db/db mice and which the potential anti-cancer mechanisms of metformin are. 4-week-old mice were divided into 3 groups (2 db/db mice groups and one wild type mice group). All diabetic and non-diabetic mice were treated with N-Methyl-N-Nitrosourea (MNU) for 20 weeks to induce gastric tumorigenesis. At week 21, one db/db mice group were treated with metformin (5 mg/ml) for 10 weeks and the other 2 groups were treated with saline. Blood samples were collected for testing insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1. Stomach tissues were collected for histopathological evaluation and mRNAs analysis. Metformin significantly decreased incidence of MNU-induced gastric dysplasia and cancer in diabetic db/db mice. Furthermore, metformin reduced serum insulin as well as IGF-1, and also suppressed expression of insulin receptor, IGF-1, IGF-1 receptor and several pro-inflammatory cytokines mRNAs in stomach of db/db mice, but did not significantly influence IGF-2 and IGF-2 receptor expressions. The results show that metformin can prevent the risk of gastric cancer in type 2 diabetes and the protective mechanisms may involve in an inhibitory effect of metformin on insulin as well as IGF-1 signals and cancer related pro-inflammatory cytokines.

AbstractChlorogenic acid is a major phenolic compound that forms a substantial part of plant foods and is an ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid. However, the effect of the structures of both chlorogenic and caffeic acids on their antioxidant and antidiabetic potentials have not been fully understood. Thus, this study sought to investigate and compare the interaction of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid with α-amylase and α-glucosidase (key enzymes linked to type 2 diabetes) activities in vitro.The inhibitory effect of the phenolic acids on α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities was evaluated. Thereafter, their antioxidant activities as typified by their 1,1-diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging ability and ferric reducing antioxidant properties were determined.The results revealed that both phenolic acids inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities in a dose-dependent manner (2–8 μg/mL). However, caffeic acid had a significantly (p<0.05) higher inhibitory effect on α-amylase [ICThe esterification of caffeic acid with quinic acid, producing chlorogenic acid, reduces their ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities. Thus, the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities by the phenolic acids could be part of the possible mechanism by which the phenolic acids exert their antidiabetic effects.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.
