%X Aim: The present study is to evaluate the invitro antidiabetic activity of Mukia maderaspatana ethanolic extract and fractions by ¦Á-glucosidase and ¦Á -amylase inhibitory activity. Methods: Inorder to evaluate if the extraction procedure could influence the activity, we decided to extract with ethanol and fractions with chloroform and n-butanol of Mukia maderaspatana and test each of them with enzyme ¦Á-glucosidase and ¦Á -amylase inhibitory activity . Results: Mukia maderaspatana ethanolic extract and fractions showed dose dependent inhibition of ¦Á-glucosidase and ¦Á -amylase enzyme and exhibited lower inhibitory activity than acarbose. Conclusion: The study revealed the antidiabetic potential and could be helpful to develop medicinal preparations and nutraceuticals and function foods for diabetes.
