- This study is aimed for finding alternative ways to treat diabetes. Many studies have been done before, but focused on identification of α-glucosidase inhibition mechanism. This study was conducted by extracting Caesalpinia bonduc seed using two methods maceration by ethanol 96% and the others boil by water. The ethanol extract was then fractioned into three fractions, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. To find the bioactive compounds, the ethanol extract was then tested by several phytochemistry tests. The phytochemistry test showed positive results for alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin and triterpenoid. The inhibition mechanism was tested using pNPG. The inhibition test shown that the mechanism was a competitive inhibition, by the Dixon plot. The calculated inhibition concentrations for 50% substrate (IC50) for ethyl acetate fraction are 1655.8079 μg/ml for 5 mMsubstrate and 803.9521 μg/ml for 10 mM substrate. From the results of this study, we concluded that the extract of Caesalpinia bonduc has inhibition activity toward α-glucosidase enzyme.
