abstract={In this study, 50% ethanol extract prepared from air-dried leaves of nine plants grown wildly in Mongolia were characterized for their inhibitory activity of tyrosinase, &#945;-glucosidase, hyaluronidase, lipase, and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in order to identify potential new sources for dietary prevention of certain non-communicable diseases and skin health promotion from domestic plant kingdom. The results of this study indicate that out of the selected nine Mongolian plant leaves, <i>V.vitis-idaeae</i>, <i>R.altissimum</i>, and <i>R.acicularis</i> leaves presented strong inhibitory activity of mushroom tyrosinase, <i>R.acicularis</i> and <i>P.anomala</i> leaves exhibited good anti &#945;-glucosidase and anti hyaluronidase activity, <i>V.vitis-idaeae</i> leaf showed appreciable inhibition of lipase activity, and <i>P.anomala</i> leaf effectively inhibited ACE. Among them <i>P.anomala</i> and <i>R.acicularis</i> leaves were found to be the most promising natural source with multiple biological properties.},
