BCHE and diabetes mellitus: Acetone and methanol extracts were prepared from dried biomass and evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity by radical and metal-based assays and tested as enzymatic inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), both involved in neurological disorders, α–amylase and α–glucosidase, carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes involved in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), lipase, implicated in obesity and hyperlipidemia, and tyrosinase, involved in skin hyperpigmentation and food browning.
