Abstract

Nowadays, phyto-medicine is considered the best form of modern, scientific herbal medicine, relying on scientific research and the highest professional standards to find effective remedies for diseases including diabetes, since this disease is principally linked to impaired insulin function. The work aimed to evaluate inhibitory capacity of Moringa oleifera LAM (MEMO) (Moringaceae). Methanol extract of this plant was prepared and was delivered to rats and revealed a remarkable decrease in glycaemia state (vs. Glibenclamide, 5 mg/kg). Noting that the biochemical parameters were also evaluated. In addition, the plant extract also inhibited enzymes activities comparing to acarbose (standard). This plant possesses antidiabetic properties. The results showed that the activity of this plant represents a potential candidate to develop new drugs to prevent/treat diabetes and this type of pharmacological research is likely to lead to the industrial pharmaceutical development of new active bio-compounds in countries where tradition remains strong.
