Balasubramanian %J Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology %D 2009 %I Bangladesh Pharmacological Society %X The methanol extract of the root of Aegle marmelos, a medicinal plant, was fractionated into eight fractions using column chromatography. The anti-diabetic activity of all the fractions was studied using the glucose uptake by isolated rat hemi-diaphragm in vitro model. Using the bioassay-guided fractionation, two compounds 1 and 2 were isolated by column chromatography and identified as 6-methyl-4-chromanone and skimmianine respectively by NMR and mass spectral methods. %K Aegle marmelos %K Anti-diabetic activity %K 6-methyl-4-chromanone %K Skimmianine %U www.bdjpharmacol.com/0401/65.pdf
