Studies on Bridelia ferruginea Leaves (1). Stability and Hypoglycaemic Actions of the Leaf Extract Tablets

The flavonoid content of 187.5 mg of Bridelia ferruginea leaf extract was calculated to be approximately 0.015% based on rutin. There was no significant difference (p=0.05) in the mean values of flavonoids for the tabletted and untabletted extract. The moisture adsorption of the crude drug tablets w...

Zusammenfassung:The flavonoid content of 187.5 mg of Bridelia ferruginea leaf extract was calculated to be approximately 0.015% based on rutin. There was no significant difference (p=0.05) in the mean values of flavonoids for the tabletted and untabletted extract. The moisture adsorption of the crude drug tablets was of Vander Waals type. The tablets showed a very long shelf life of about 96 years. A 25 mg/kg of B. ferruginea tablet lowered the blood glucose level of normal healthy rabbits by about 40%.
