Abstract
Andrographis stenophylla C.B. Cclarke (Acanthaceae) leaves are commonly
used as folk medicine in south India. The present study is planned to determine the oral
hypoglycemic activity of dichloroethane (DCE) extract of Andrographis stenophylla leaves.
The Andrographis stenophylla leaves showed high yield extract values in DCE, DCM
(dichloromethane) and carbinol. The DCE extract showed clear compound separation in thin
layer chromatography, hence that extract was used for phytochemical analysis and
pharmacological study. The DCE extract showed significant oral hypoglycemic activity in
rats. The present study concludes, the DCE extract of Andrographis stenophylla leaves are
suitable for isolate the terpene and it’s showed significant oral hypoglycaemic activity.
