Screening for antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of medicinal plants traditionally used as antidiabetics in the Peruvian amazon
), comparable to or exceeding ascorbic acid and acarbose. High levels of catechin, epicatechin, gallic acid, and chlorogenic acid were associated with the observed bioactivity. These findings highlight Amazonian plants as valuable sources of bioactive compounds for complementary type 2 diabetes management.
