Antidiabetic properties and metal analysis of Bombax ceiba flower extracts by Mohd Amin Mir in Global Journal of Addiction & Rehabilitation Medicine - Juniper Publishers
The plant may be considered a bio-synthetic laboratory, not only for the
bio-chemicals such as carbohydrates, protein, and lipid that are
utilized as food by man, but also for a multitude of compounds like
glycosides, alkaloids, tannins etc, that exerts physiological effects.
The compound those are responsible for therapeutic effects are usually
the secondary metabolite. Bombex ceiba plant extracts have been
evaluated for its antidiabetic properties by in-vitro inhabitation of
alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase enzymes. The results so far obtained
are encouraging by showing inhibition of these enzymes to a large
extent. The water and ethanolic extracts of all the plant parts
(thalamus and flower) show the highest inhibition as compared to DCM
extracts.
