    Author: Teixeira VL, Rocha FD, Houghton PJ, Kaplan MA, Pereira RC.
    Journal: Fitoterapia; 2007 Jan; 78(1):35-6. PubMed ID: 17067759.
    Abstract:
    The acetone crude extract of Lobophora variegata did not show any alpha-amylase inhibition activity. On the contrary, acetone crude extract of both Spatoglossum schroederi and Caulerpa racemosa inhibited the enzyme activity, with an ED(50) of 0.58 and 0.09 mg/ml.
