The significant antioxidant activities of M. oleifera leaves from both in vivo as well as in vitro studies suggests that the regular intake of its leaves through diet can protect normal as well as diabetic patients against oxidative damage.

This evidence clearly indicates that Raphanus sativus root juice possesses good hypoglycemic potential coupled with antidiabetic efficacy.

A rapid and convenient method for the determination of sulphonamides was based upon the reaction with bromine monochloride and titration of excess reagent by iodometry.The method has been applied to the determination of sulphapyridine, sulphathiazole, sulphaguanidine and sulphadiazine. The number of moles of BrC1 consumed per mole of these compounds is 8, 7, 5 and 7, respectively. 2--10mg were determined with deviations of =k 1 ~ on the average.Procedure. An aliquot containing 2--10rag os the sample is placed in a i00mI iodine flask. Add 5ml of glacial acetic acid and 5ml of BrC1 solution (1.3917g KBrO a -}-1.9835 KBr in 125ml of water, after cooling addition of 100ml of cone. hydrochloric acid and dilution to 500ml), stopper and shake. Cool for 20rain in ice bath, wash stopper with 5ml of water, add 5ml of 15~ KI solution and titrate the liberated iodine with 0.02N sodium thiosulphate solution using starch as indicator. Run a blank under the same conditions.
