Özet

This study investigates the extraction yields, phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant capacities, and potential antidiabetic effects of various solvent extracts from Datura innoxia Mill. seeds. The extraction yields revealed that hexane (HEX), ethyl acetate (ETA), and methanol (MET) extracts had the highest yield, while butanol (BUT) and aqueous (AE) extracts had lower yield. Phenolic content was highest in the ETA and AE extracts, while the lowest was observed in the HEX extract. In contrast, flavonoid content increased with solvent polarity, with AE exhibiting the highest content. Antioxidant capacity revealed that the AE extract exhibited high ABTS.+ radical scavenging activity, while MET and HEX extracts also displayed significant activity. DPPH. scavenging activity was strongest in the AE extract and showed a dose-dependent increase in the HEX and ETA extracts. Superoxide radical scavenging activity was primarily found in the MET, HEX, and AE extracts. Additionally, the extracts displayed potent ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), especially the MET, AE, and BUT extracts. The antidiabetic potential of the extracts was evaluated in an animal model. While higher doses of extracts did not significantly affect blood glucose levels, 50 mg/mL AE and MET extracts demonstrated a temporary decrease in plasma glucose. The extracts also appeared to have a positive effect on diabetic rats' survival. It was suggested that MET, BUT, and AE extracts obtained from D. innoxia seeds exhibited strong antioxidant properties, with the MET extract, in particular, able to alleviate hyperglycemic effects in the STZ-induced diabetic rats.
