Abstract

Different doses of ethanolic extract of Stephania glabra tuber were evaluated for antihyperglycemic activity in alloxan induced diabetic mice. The oral administration of 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg body weight showed significant hypoglycemic activity. Glibenclamide (oral hypoglycemic agent, 25 mg/kg, p.o.) has been used as standard.

Key words: Stephania glabra, Menispermaceae, hydroxypalmatine, alloxan, glibenclamide, hypoglycemic activity
