What is it about?

Banisteriopsis argyrophylla belongs to the Malpighiaceae family, which is a species from Cerrado, also known as “cip´o-prata” or “cip´o-folha-de-prata.” Several species of this family present biological potential. This work reports the chemical identification of the ethanol extract (EE) and its fractions from B. argyrophylla leaves and shows the analysis of the antioxidant activity and inhibitory effects on activities of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and lipase, and non-enzymatic glycation.
