Abstract

The rhizome or yellow Turmeric root in Traditional Medicine is called Khuong Hoang. This medicinal herb is widely used in many Asian countries, including Vietnam, as a spice and medicine. The main active ingredients in Turmeric are diarylheptanoids, including curcumin. This study investigated the in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory effect of curcumin. The results showed that curcumin has the ability to strongly inhibit α-glucosidase with IC50 7.73±0.62 µg/ml.
