Abstract :

Iran is rich in medicinally important plants and has an ancient herbal treatment methods. Ourwork is based on the study of some indigenous plants which show inhibitory effect of glucoseutilization, and are in use as hypoglycemic agent in traditional system of medicine. Gymnemasylvestre, Momordica charantia and Eugenia jumbolana have been shown to possesshypoglycemic activity of varying degree. After preparation of glucose solutions and mentionedherbal aqueous extracts, quantative measurement of glucose was done by o-toluidine andglucose oxidase methods in various PH. The results in three different media revealed that,hypoglycemic activity is more prominent in neutral and basic media as compared to acidicmedium.
