Abstract
It is of interest to analyse and compare the antioxidant and anti-diabetic activity of ethanolic extracts of Andrographis echioides and Andrographis paniculata. Andrographis echioides and Andrographis paniculata were collected from a local farm. In vitro antioxidant activity was assessed by the potential of Piperine, Lupeol, beta sitosterol; DPPH free radical scavenging assay was performed by Liyana Pathirana and Shahidi method. In vitro anti-diabetic activity was assessed by alpha amylase inhibitory activity and alpha glucosidase inhibitory activity. The data were analysed by one-way-ANOVA to check the statistical significance among the groups and considered at the levels of p<0.05. Both the ethanolic extracts of Andrographis echioides and Andrographis paniculata showed significant antioxidant and anti-diabetic potential in a dose-dependent manner (100-500μg) and can be used as potential antidiabetic agents. Similar to antioxidant potential, Andrographis paniculata exhibited an increased anti-diabetic potential compared to Andrographis echioides. Data shows that the ethanolic extracts of Andrographis echioides and Andrographis paniculata possessed antioxidant and anti-diabetic activity and hence our present findings conclude that both plants can be considered for the development of natural drugs for the management of diabetes.
