Objective:To evaluate the antihyperglycemic activity and subchronic toxicity of an extract ofMoringa stenopetala(M.stenopetala)leaves in mice.Methods:Antihyperglycemic activities of various solvent subfractions and chromatographic fractions were investigated in alloxan induced diabetic mice.All fractions were administered intragastrically using oral gavage at a dose of 500 mg/kg.For the subchronic toxicity investigation of the 70%ethanol extract of M.stenopetala leaves,a daily dose of 300 or 600 mg/kg body weight was administered to mice over 96 d.Some hematological and plasma biochemical parameters were measured as indices of organ specific toxicity.Preliminary phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity investigation was done using thin layer chromatography method.Results:Among the solvent subfractions of the 70%ethanol extract tested only butanol subfraction exhibited significant reduction of blood glucose level(P<0.05)at 2 h(53.44%)and 4.5 h(46.34%)in diabetic mice and it was further fractionated chromatographically.This resulted in isolation of three chromatographic fractions(fraction 1,2,and 3)which exhibited maximal blood glucose reduction(P<0.01)at 6 h(77.2%),at 4.5 h(69.1%)and at 4.5 h(71.96%)after administration.Furthermore,these fractions exhibited comparable antioxidant activity,and preliminary phytochemical screening indicated the presence of phenolic compounds which may be phenolic glycoside in all fractions.The subchronic toxicity study of the 70%ethanol extract of M.stenopetala leaves revealed that there were no significant differences in body weight,between controls and treated mice.Hematological analysis showed no differences in most parameters examined.Furthermore,it did not significantly affect plasma creatinine,urea,cholesterol,triglycerides and CA125 levels.It also did not significantly affect the plasma T3,T4 and THS level.It,however,caused a significant dose-dependent increases in aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase.The plasma alanine aminotransferase increased in a dose dependent manner,though not significant.Conclusions:The present study revealed that the crude ethanol extract and solvent-solvent fractions as well as chromatographic fractions have antihyperglycemic effect.Furthermore,the crude ethanol extract have some effect on liver of the mice on subchronic administration.Therefore,further study should be done to identify the active principal compound responsible for antihyperglycemic effect and to rule out the safety in other animal model. 展开更多
