Antidiabetic Activity of Compounds Isolated from the Kernel of Mangifera indica in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats

Abstract

Diabetes is one of the major causes of death in Bangladesh. A lot of medicinal plants are available in
Bangladesh and they possess remarkable antidiabetic activities. The main purpose of this project was to find out the
new antidiabetic compound(s) from plants available in our locality. As such an attempt has been made to isolate the
antidiabetic compounds from the kernel of mango. Solvent extractions followed by column and thin layer
chromatographic techniques were used to purify the compounds. 1H-NMR spectroscopy was used to identify the
purified compounds which might have antidiabetic property.
