Abstract

The plant may be considered a bio-synthetic laboratory, not only for the bio-chemicals such as carbohydrates, protein, and lipid that are utilized as food by man, but also for a multitude of compounds like glycosides, alkaloids, tannins etc, that exerts physiological effects. The compound those are responsible for therapeutic effects are usually the secondary metabolite. Bombex ceiba plant extracts have been evaluated for its antidiabetic properties by in-vitro inhabitation of alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase enzymes. The results so far obtained are encouraging by showing inhibition of these enzymes to a large extent. The water and ethanolic extracts of all the plant parts (thalamus and flower) show the highest inhibition as compared to DCM extracts.
