ABSTRACT
Our present studies were focused on the phytochemical study and
probable anti-diabetic activity ofthe stem of HiptageBenghalensis in
laboratory animals and the statistical significance of such effect.
Qualitative phytochemical analysis of ethanol extract of Hiptage
Benghalensis for identification of steroid, carbohydrate, flavonoid,
alkaloid, tannins, phenol, mangiferin and terpenoids compounds were
carried out using proper reagents. The stem extract was subjected to
anti-diabetic study through six segment method which was performed
to assess the amount of sucrose remaining in the GIT at six different
positions. The amount of sucrose unabsorbed in different GIT
segments were evaluated in control rats vs. rats fed with 500mg/kg
extract at 30 minutes, 1hour,2hour and 4 hour. The phytochemical
screening of ethanol extract of Hiptage Benghalensis exhibited the
presence of several phytochemical components including the presence of flavonoids and
terpenoids which have been reported to possess anti-diabetic properties. The extract caused a
significant (p
