| Abstract | In this study, we aimed to evaluate the phenolic composition, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibitory activities of ethanol and water extracts of Chenopodium botrys L. In the ethanol extract, the amounts of flavonoids, saponins, and condensed tannins were found to be higher than those of the water extract (4.54 mg of rutin equivalent (RE) per g of dry plant, 25.45 mg of quillaja equivalent (QAE) per g of dry plant, and 59.20 mg of catechin equivalent (CE) per g of dry plant, respectively). On the other hand, a total phenolic assay showed a superiority of the water extract (3.85 mg of gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per g of dry plant). The extracts were also subjected to screening for the quantification of selected compounds. Among the compounds, benzoic acid was found to be the most abundant one in the extracts (59.93 and 2974.24 μg per g of dry plant, respectively). In general, antioxidant activity assays showed the superiority of the water extract. C. botrys extracts were also evaluated for their inhibitory activities on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), tyrosinase, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase. The water extract exhibited the highest inhibitory activity on AChE, tyrosinase, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase (113.69 μg of galantine equivalent (GALAE) per g of dry plant, 165.56 μg of kojic acid equivalent (KAE) per g of dry plant, 7.16 mg of acarbose equivalent (ACE) per g of dry plant, and 6.47 mg of ACE per g of dry plant, respectively). On the other hand, BChE inhibitory activity of the ethanol extract was found to be higher than that of the water extract (60.90 μg of GALAE per g of dry plant). According to the results of the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity assays, C. botrys may have the potential to prevent diseases associated with oxidative stress and to prevent AD, pigmentation diseases, hyperglycaemia and its associated complications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
