A study was undertaken of the characteristics and Antidiabetic activity of “Melia Azedarach” (Meliaceae) Leaves, native to India, Southern China and Australia; the genus Melia includes four other species, occurring from south East Asia to Northern Australia. Extraction process of Melia Azedarach was carried out by using Ethanol and Limonoids were separated from the ethanolic extract. Furthermore, the phytochemical investigations were performed by using different test and TLC method. An analysis of limonoid was made using column chromatographic, HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and FT-IR. Laboratory bioassays were carried out on alloxan induced diabetic rate. Finally, limonoid, flavonoid and sterols containing leaf extracts of M. azedarach were effective in decreasing blood glucose level in alloxan induced diabetic rats....
Infections are one of the leading cause of ailments and diseases for humans and animals. Bacterial infections and Microbial infections are two broad categories of infections which affect humans every now and then. Antimicrobial agents are continuously researched upon by the drug industry in order to find the effective treatment for the ever growing complexity of infectious diseases and diseases in humans. The present letter to the editor helps in drawing attention towards plants whose extracts have been found by researchers to be effective in controlling the infectious behavior of microbes and treatment to the ever increasing resistant strains in the world of medicine and healthcare. Plant extracts help to make us understand that natural healing capacity of biological plants are one of the best strategies to deal with the complexity of microbes spreading diseases in humans and animals...
