Abstract :
Medicinal plants have been used as remedies
for many illnesses for a very long time all throughout the
world. Acalypha indica is a kind of plant with an
inflorescence resembling catkins. Despite being a weed,
Acalypha indica is recognized by the locals as a valuable
source of medication for a number of therapeutic
therapies. Acalypha indica Linn is a plant that may have
the ability to lower blood glucose levels. Acalypha indica
Linn is one of the alternative herbal treatments for type-2
diabetes mellitus. Acalypha indica extract can be used to
treat type-2 diabetes in addition to metformin therapy as
well as to avoid insulin resistance in healthy individuals.
According to this research, the findings of the alpha
amylase enzyme test using the ethanol and pet ether
extracts of the Acalypha indica plant suggested possible
anti-diabetic efficacy based on its inhibitory activity (%).
When acarbose and the potential for its anti-diabetic
effects were evaluated, pet ether extract shown a better
potential for suppressing alpha amylase's enzymatic
activity. This was in contrast to ethanol extract.
Keywords :
Acalypha indica, Diabetes, Phytochemical Screening, α - amylase inhibition assay.
