Abstract

Background: Alpha amylase inhibition study important in the study of antidiabetic potential. Various methods involved in detection of alpha amylase inhibition detection of best method are important in research. But there is no paper regarding these criteria therefore current research is focused on detection of best method for alpha amylase activity.

Aim and Objective: Aim of this research is to identify the best method for detection of alpha amylase activity. Objectives of this research are to extract the plant material Cucumis melo var agrestis and evaluate alpha amylase inhibitory activity.

Methods: alpha amylase inhibition activity by iodine-starch calorimetric method and DNSA calorimetric method.

Results: inhibitory alpha amylase activity by DNSA method IC50 of standard acarbose was 372.04?g/ ml and HALEC was 445.30?g/ ml. inhibitory alpha amylase activity by DNSA method IC50 of standard acarbose was 129.46 ?g/ ml and HALEC was 153.31 ?g/ ml.

Conclusion: From the result concluded that HALEC has anti-diabetic potential and starch-iodine calorimetric method was best method for detection of alpha amylase inhibitory activity.
