ANTI-DIABETIC ACTIVITIES OF ISOLATED COMPOUND BETA-SITOSTEROL FROM THE ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF STEM OF ANDROGRAPHIS ECHIOIDES
To study the anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic activities of isolated compound beta-sitosterol from the ethanolic extract of stem of Andrographis echioides under the in-vitro model. The isolation was done using column chromatography using gradient elution with different mobile phases. Structural elucidation was carried out on the basis of spectral analysis. Anti-oxidant activity was determined by 2,2...
