Flavonoids, a class of natural drugs with broad biological activity, exhibit inhibitory effect on α-amylase. Hesperetin, a flavanone class of citrus flavonoid, is a derivative of hesperidin found in citrus fruits such as oranges, grapes, and lemons. It has been extensively reported that hesperetin exerts neuroprotective effects in experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases.
α-Amylases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the internal α-1,4-glycosidic linkages in starch, converting starch into low-molecular-weight products such as glucose, maltose, and maltotriose units.
