PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS, FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING PROPERTIES AND ANTIDIABETIC POTENTIALS OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF THE STEM (BARK) OF Alstonia boonei ON ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC ALBINO RATS
ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical constituents of the methanol extract of the stem (bark) of Alstonia boonei (MEAB), in vitro antioxidant activity of the extract and its possible antidiabetic and antioxidant potential using alloxan- induced diabetic rats as model. The qualitative analysis of the extract showed a wide range of phytochemicals, which could be physiologically potent in ameliorating several diseases. Quantitative phytochemical analysis revealed that ...
