Abstract
The hypoglycemic and anti-hyperglycemic effect of alcoholic extract of Benincasa hispida was investigated in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats. A single oral administration of alcoholic extract of Benincasa hispida at doses 50,100,200mg/kg produced a significant blood glucose reduction in a dose dependent manner. A bioguided extraction and fractionation of alcoholic extract of the stem of Benincasa hispida afforded three compounds, β-sitosterol, α-amyrin, quercetin. The alcoholic extract at 200mg/kg significantly reduced the blood glucose levels and equipotent with that of the standard drug Tolbutamide.
