Bioactivity screening of pinhão ( (Bertol.) Kuntze) seed extracts: the inhibition of cholinesterases and α-amylases, and cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities.

The objective of this work was to determine the potential bioactive properties of extracts from bio-residues of ( (Bertol.) Kuntze) seeds, namely the α-amylase and cholinesterase inhibition, cytotoxicity, and anti-inflammatory properties. The extracts evaluated were obtained from cooking water (CW) and as an ethanolic extract from residual seed shells (PS).
