| description | Diabetes Mellitus incident is currently one of the major and common diseases in
Malaysia and increasing every year. To date, no herbs or drugs are able to completely
cure the disease. In this study, insulinotropic properties of Malaysian herbs were
investigated using pancreatic P cells BRIN-BD1 1 . Three out of 13 herbs samples studied
were belongs to fungi (Ganoderma sp). The studied showed seven samples are able to
induce insulin secretion over 200 % by BRIN-BD11 cell lines. Based on traditional
practitioner reports, Gynuraprocumbens was choosed for further investigation on its antihyperglycemic
properties. Glucose tolerance test were carried on normal and
streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats showed at 1000 mglkgl b.w Gynura procumbens
methanolic extract was able to reduce blood glucose level in rats. Toxicity towards
BRIN-BD11 cells was analyzed using MTT assay and alkaline comet assay. Toxicity
levels at ICS0 was 300 uglml using MTT assay. Furthermore, Alkaline Comet Assay has
proved this toxicity is not due to DNA damage in BRIN-BDl 1 cells. Acute toxicity was
carried on ICR strain mice for 14 days. Gynuraprocumbens did not show any toxicity at
concentration 7 glkg b.w after administered orally. These results suggest Gynura
procumbens and other herbs contain active constituents and have potentials for diabetes
treatment. |
