α-Amylase (A) and α-glucosidase (B) inhibitory effects of purified compounds: karaviloside VI (2), karaviloside VIII (3), momordicoside L (4), momordicoside A (5) and charantoside XV (6). Compounds were assayed at 0.67 mM and data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3), and analyzed by one-way ANOVA with a Tukey post hoc test. Different letters within the same plot indicate there were significant differences at p < 0.05.
