Abstract :

Flavonol compounds of three Mediterranean plants from the Algerian Atlas used traditionally in Arab folk medicine, Arenaria serpyllifolia, Rhamnus alaternus and Thapsia garganica, were found to inhibit the enzymatic activities of both rat intestine and purified porcine liver carboxylesterase in a concentration-dependent manner. Results indicate that the flavonol compounds from the aerial part of these plants lead to the inactivation of the CE pI = 5.1 with Ki of micromolar range. These results encourage us to perform further biological investigation.
