An investigation of the antidiabetic activity of Aqueous Extract and its fractions from a different polarity solvent: ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane of Dandang Gendis Leaves (Clinacanthus nutans Lindau) on Mile SwissWebster Mice has been carried out. The effect of aqueous extract of dose of 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg BW was tested on glucose serum level of alloxan induced that mice. Its fractions were tested by glucose tolerance method. Aqueous extract (150 mg/kg BW) significantly decreased blood glucose serum level (pd"0,05) that had the same effect as oral glibenclamide (0,65 mg/kg BW) administrated once a day for 9 days. Aqueous extract that was fractionated has 5 fraction. Fraction of ethanol extract that was insoluble in ethyl acetate at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW was the most active fraction, that significantly (p<0,05) decreased blood glucose serum level of mice at glucose tolerance method of 18,4% in 3 hours after 2 g/kg BW of glucose administration. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) of that fraction ethanol 95%-chloroform 9:2 as eluent gave 5 spots under ultraviolet ray and showed spesific compounds by qualitative test. Spot 1 (steroid) gave Rf 0,14; spot 2 and spot 3 that gave Rf 0,53 and 0, 67 were flavonoid, spot 4 (triterpenoid) gave Rf 0,77; and spot 5 (chlorophyll) gave Rf 0,89. This research show that this plant can used for hipoglicemic traditional medicine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
