Abstract
|
|
Hypoglycemic activity-guided
fractionation together with chemical analysis led to the isolation of
one guaianolide (lactucin-8-O-methylacrylate) from the chloroform
extract of the dried fruits of Parmentiera edulis. Identification was
based on spectroscopic methods. The compounds lowers blood sugar
levels after administration to alloxan-diabetic mice. |
