چکیده
The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti diabetic activity of aqueous and alcoholic extract of leaves of plant Ocimumbasilicum in alloxan induced diabetes in rats. The study was conducted on five groups of five rats each to evaluate the hypoglycaemic effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Ocimumbasilicum. Glibenclamide was used as a standard drug and the results were compared in reference to it. The fasting blood sugar levels were recorded on 0, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min on 1,7,14,21 days respectively by glucometer. The results indicate that the test compound aqueous and alcoholic extract of Ocimumbasilicum has significant and sustained oral hypoglycaemic activity, comparable with the hypoglycaemic effect of glibenclamide, asulfonylurea derivative. The hypoglycaemic potential of the test compound is found to be comparable with that of the standard
