Abstract
The present work was carried out to identify the anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic activities of Aurelia aurita. The chemical profiling analysis showed that it possess different biologically active secondary metabolites like phenols, alakoids, steroids etc. The methanolic extract showed different free radical scavenging activity as ascorbic acid with IC50 values 202, 205, 153 µg on DPPH, hydroxyl and superoxide free radicals. The extract significantly reduced the hyperglycemic conditions with percentage of reduction 18.7 ± 1.3 to 53.5 ±1.5 of streptozotocin-induced animals and the positive result of in-vitro aldose reductase enzyme inhibition with IC50 value 163 µg suggests that A. aurita have potential to cure the diabetic complications.
期刊介绍:
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology (Bangladesh J Pharmacol) is an open access, video component, peer-reviewed journal of the Bangladesh Pharmacological Society (BDPS).
A scholarly publication is defined ''open access'' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it. Anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print or use it in educational purpose within the legal agreements.
Peer review of a manuscript means the evaluation of research work by one or more people with similar competences. It can be open or blind. We do the single-blind peer review.
Our readers want to know the methodology used by the researchers which is very important to get the results. The video clip of one of the methodologies is prepared by the authors and submit it to publish.
