“…Unfortunately, in systems where water and alcohol are the extraction solvents, mainly polar compounds will be extracted thus limiting the amount of active compounds obtainable from plants. activity and flavonoid content [47,48]. There is also a possibility that the compounds facilitating the glucose utilization activity of the C2C12 muscle cells may be different from that stimulating the glucose utilization activity of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes.…”

Medicinal plants are important in the treatment of human diseases. The medicinal properties of plants are attributed to the presence of secondary plant metabolites. Polyphenols, particularly fl avonoids, are phytochemicals that possess antioxidant and anti-infl ammatory activity, and modulate pathways involved in obesity and glucose metabolism. In folk medicine, a single plant may be used to treat various diseases owing to the presence of phytochemical varieties in plants. In this study, the acetone leaf extracts of Curtisia dentata, Pittosporum viridifl orum, and Portulacaria afra were investigated for total polyphenol and total fl avonoid content as well as for anti-infl ammatory, antioxidant, and glucose utilization activities by using standard methods. The C. dentata extract exhibited the highest polyphenols (125.12  2.18 mg/g GAE) and fl avonoids (27.69  4.98 mg/g QE). The P. viridifl orum extract exhibited the strongest DPPH radical antioxidant activity (IC 50 value 5 12.94  1.09 µg/ml) and anti-infl ammatory activity by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase activity (IC 50 value 5 46.50  4.54 µg/ml). All extracts enhanced dose-dependent glucose utilization activity of muscle cells and adipocytes. P. viridifl orum enhanced the highest glucose utilization of C2C12 muscle cells (67.34  0.51%), while C. dentata enhanced the highest glucose utilization of 3T3-L1 adipocytes (63.72  0.48%) at the highest concentration of 500 µg/ml, with no signifi cant difference (p  0.05). Polyphenols may be responsible for the observed 3T3-L1 cells glucose utilization activity of C. dentata. However, the polyphenols alone may not be responsible for the antioxidant, anti-infl ammatory, and C2C12 cells glucose utilization activity of P. viridifl orum. To our knowledge, this is the fi rst study to demonstrate the glucose utilization potential of the species of medicinal plants.

Context: Gouania longipetala Hemsl. (Rhamnaceae) is used in folkloric medicine for treating diabetes mellitus and its associated symptoms. Objective: This study evaluated the antidiabetic antilipidemic and antioxidant activities of the plant methanol leaf extract. Materials and methods: Diabetes was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate (160 mg/kg). Three test doses (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) of G. longipetala extract (GLE) were administered orally and the effects were compared with glibenclamide (2 mg/kg). The effect of GLE on hyperglycemia and sub-acute study for 21 d were carried out using its effect on fasting blood sugar (FBS) level. Serum biochemistry and antioxidant activity were evaluated. Histopathological evaluation of the pancreas was also done. Results: The LD 50 of G. longipetala was found to be 44000 mg/kg. The extract significantly (p50.0001) decreased the FBS levels of treated rats from 16.2 ± 2.03 to 6.5 ± 1.52 mM/L at 150 mg/kg within 24 h. The extract decreased FBS levels of rats by 62.0, 74.8, and 75.0% on day 21 at 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg, respectively. GLE reduced the level of malondiadehyde from 23.0 ± 1.34 to 10.3 ± 0.43 mg/dL, increased superoxide dismutase activities from 2.97 ± 0.34 to 5.80 ± 0.53 IU/L at 150 mg/kg, and improved the serum lipid profile of treated rats. GLE also caused restoration of the altered histopathological changes of the pancreas. Discussion and conclusion: Gouania longipetala demonstrated significant antidiabetic, antilipidemic, and antioxidant activities that may be due to its multiple effects involving both pancreatic and extra-pancreatic mechanisms.
