α- Amylase Inhibitory Activity and Ferric Reducing Power of Plumeria Pudica Flowers

The α- Amylase inhibitory activity and Ferric reducing power of Plumeria pudica Flowers [1]. It have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antimicrobial, antioxidant and expectorant. Flowers of Plumeria pudica have been traditionally used to treat Fever, rheumatism, Skin conditions like acne, eczema, and dermatitis, respiratory problems like bronchitis, asthma, and coughs [2]. The Plumeria pudica (commonly known as white frangipani or bridal bouquet) is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae, which is native tropical America. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring chemicals in plants, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, phenols, and saponins. Phytochemical investigation is a systematic study of the chemical constituents present in plants, including their identification, isolation, characterization, and quantification. Amylase is a type of enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starches and other complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin. It plays a crucial role in the digestive process, particularly in humans, where it initiates the breakdown of carbohydrates in the mouth and continues its action in the small intestine. Through the mentioned review of literature we understood about Plumeria pudica flower's phytochemicals and pharmacological activities. The articles include tests and methods to α amylase inhibitory activity of Plumeria pudica flowers. The ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) is used to measure the antioxidant capacity of flower.
