Antidiabetic and toxic evaluation of polar extracts of

T

he aimof this work is to evaluate three plant species in order

to observe their behavior as antidiabetic with the polar

extracts of

Myrciaria dubia

(fruit),

Coussapoa asperifolia

(bark)

and

Remigia pedunculata

(leaf), native to the Peruvian Amazon,

were evaluated in terms of their antidiabetic activity (AAD),

and toxic (ACT) in vitro and in vivo, according to the following

methodology: a) AAD to inhibit the α-glucosidase, and b) ACT,

evaluate the dose lethal in front of

Artemia franciscana

. For the

in vivo assays, the AAD and ACT assays were performed, for

the first, the extracts were administered to 10 Albino mice and

diabetics (induced with streptozotocin), in concentrations of

100, 500 and 1000mg/kg, for one hour, evaluating the glycemia

index, and acute toxicity test was performed, administering to

the mice a concentration of 2000 mg/kg of the extracts under

14 days. In addition, analyzes of the main chemical families

were carried out using UV/Vis spectroscopy for phenolic

compounds, alkaloids and saponins of the methanolic extracts

of the three species. According to the results, these species

have an important antidiabetic activity, obtaining a percentage

of inhibition against α-glucosidase in extracts of 500 μg/ml of

51.5%, 40.7% and 97.4%, for

M. dubia

,

R. pedunculata

and

C.

asperifolia

respectively. Thus, according to the results of acute

toxicity, they did not present some toxicological problems in

certain organs and the lowest glycemic indexes in diabetic mice

was in the concentration of 1000 mg/kg where there were

obtained: 92.6, 96.8 and 96.8 mg/dl, for

M. dubia, C. asperifolia

and

R. pedunculata

respectively. The highest concentration in

secondary metabolites were the phenolic compounds being

794.1 mg/g in

M. dubia

; 324.7 mg/g in

R. pedunculata

and

214.5 mg/g in

C. asperifolia

.
