Objective: Many new bioactive drugs isolated from plants having hypoglycaemic effects showed anti diabetic activity equal and sometimes even more potent than known oral hypoglycaemic agents. In this present study, designed to evaluate antihyperglycermic and antioxidants effect on ethanolic leaf extracts Barleria cristata (EtBc) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats at dose level 400mg/kg body...

A total of ten biological compounds were isolated from the leaves of Barleria montana Nees. by using GC-MS analysis. Among them, the Benzaldehyde,2-hydroxy-6-methyland Urs-12-en-24-oicacid,3-oxo-,methyl ester,(+)as major compounds. The aqueous and different solvent extracts (acetone, chloroform, di-chloromethane, ethanol and methanol) of the plant were tested for antibacterial activity against ...
