The inhibitory profiling of dried longan seed fractions is shown in Fig. 3.
The present results indicate that each fraction significantly inhibits a broad range of MMP family.
Among of fractions, EA-enriched fraction 3 was possessed as the strongest MMPs inhibitor and seemed to have
more inhibitory potency than EA and GA control.
In the other words, the synergistic effect of the mixture compounds in dried longan seed fractions might be
manipulated to enhance the anti-MMP activity effect, particularly in EA-dominant fraction 3.
