Abstract
Objective: To carry out the preliminary phytochemical analysis and to perform the in-vitro anti diabetic activity for the ayurvedic poly herbal formulation. Material and Methods: Preliminary phytochemical analysis was performed as per the standard procedures. In-vitro anti-diabetic activity was done by two methods namely alpha amylase inhibitory assay and alpha glucosidase inhibitory assay by taking acarbose as a standard drug for the ayurvedic formulation. Statistical analysis is carried out by means of graphpad prism software version 6. Results and conclusion: Preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, phytosterols, phenols, flavonoids and terpenoids in the formulation. The poly herbal tablet produced 32.2% inhibition of alpha amylase activity at a concentration of 125 µg/ml and 80.8% inhibition of alpha glucosidase activity at a concentration of 62.5 µg/ml. The present study shows that the selected ayurvedic poly herbal tablets has an anti-diabetic activity comparable with that of allopathic drug - acarbose tablet.
