Aim:The present study is to evaluate the invitro antidiabetic activity of Mukia maderaspatana ethanolic extract and fractions by and #945;-glucosidase and and #945; -amylase inhibitory activity.Methods:Inorder to evaluate if the extraction procedure could influence the activity, we decided to extract with ethanol and fractions with chloroform and n-butanol of Mukia maderaspatana and test each of them with enzyme and #945;-glucosidase and and #945; -amylase inhibitory activity .Results:Mukia maderaspatana ethanolic extract and fractions showed dose dependent inhibition of and #945;-glucosidase and and #945; -amylase enzyme and exhibited lower inhibitory activity than acarbose.Conclusion:The study revealed the antidiabetic potential and could be helpful to develop medicinal preparations and nutraceuticals and function foods for diabetes.
