Abstract
Antioxidative, anticoagulant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of 60% (v/v) ethanolic extract from lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) leaves were investigated in vitro. The yield and polyphenol content of the lotus leaves extract were 35.3±1.1% and 186.2±5.2 ㎍ gallic acid equivalents/mg, respectively. The lotus leaves extract effectively scavenged free and cation radicals, and nitrite in a concentration-dependent manner, and possessed potent reducing power. The lotus leaves extract had remarkable anticoagulant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities as a function of the extract concentration.
