Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and diabetes are non-communicable diseases with global impacts. Inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) suitable therapies for AD, while α-amylase α-glucosidase inhibitors employed as antidiabetic agents. Compounds were isolated from the medicinal plant Terminalia macroptera evaluated their AChE, BChE, α-amylase, inhibitions. From 1H 13C NMR data, compounds identified 3,3′-di-O-methyl ellagic acid (1), 3,3′,4′-tri-O-methyl...

Diabetes as well the enhanced microbial multidrug resistance resulting from biofilm formation, constitutes some of major health problems around world. Triterpenoids and their derivatives have been shown to a great contribution in this domain. A small library benzoyl esters lupeol β-amyrin was synthesized structures were characterized by electronic ionization mass spectrometry (EIMS). Their inhibitory potential on pathogenic bacteria biofilms, action α-amylase β-glucosidase activities...
