Abstract :

Leaf powder of Glycosmis pentaphylla was subjected to hot extraction (soxhlet) with ethanol. After preliminary phytochemical investigation ethanolic extract of the leaves of Glycosmis pentaphylla was evaluated for anti diabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity against alloxan-induced diabetes in albino rats. The ethanolic extracts showed significant activity as compare to standard glipizide.
