초록

The study was to evaluate the antihyperglycemic activity of Biophytum sensitivum (L.) DC in different extracts. Albino Wistar rats with alloxan hydrate induced diabetes were divided into 7 groups of 6 each. Both aqueous and methanolic extract of Biophytum sensitivum were prepared and given individually at different doses to different batches of rats (both normal and diabetic rats) after an overnight fast. Methanolic extract at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight showed maximum blood glucose lowering effect in diabetic rats. The same dosages did not produce any hypoglycemic activity in normal rats. The antihyperglycemic activity of Biophytum sensitivum was compared with a standard drug Glibenclamide, an oral hypoglycemic agent. The above results suggest that maximum hypoglycemic effect was found only with a dose of up to 200 mg/kg b.w. of methanolic extract which is therefore the optimum dose for hypoglycemia and was used in all the experiments of the present study.
