Monitoring In Vitro Phytochemical Analysis Of Some Diabetic Plants And Its Utilizationx

North eastern terai region in Uttar Pradesh, India is known for its rich biological diversity. The most commonly employed species, used for the treatment of diabetes such as Casearia tomentosa Roxb. (root), Cassia fistula Linn. (flowers), Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don (flowers), Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt. (fruits), Dillenia indica Linn. (leaves), Dillenia pentagyna Roxb. ( fruits), Ficus benghalensis Linn. (bark), and Momordica charantia Linn. (fruits) were selected for phytochemical analysis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of phytochemicals and to determine the ascorbic acid, total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the selected plants. Total phenolic contents obtained were 9.2mg/gm, 9.4mg/gm, 5.8mg/gm, 14.6mg/gm, 14.8mg/gm, 20.4mg/gm, 12.8mg/gm, and 35.3mg/gm of the extracts, total flavonoid contents obtained were 4.2mg/gm, 18.3mg/gm, 4.4mg/gm, 6mg/gm, 21.4mg/gm, 18mg/gm, 3.1mg/gm, 14.4mg/gm of the extracts and ascorbic acid content obtained were 8.21 mu g/gm fw, 4.82 mu g/gm fw, 4.42 mu g/gm fw, 5.12 mu g/gm fw, 2.42 mu g/gm fw, 18.21 mu g/gm fw, 2.12 mu g/gm fw, 7.41 mu g/gm fw of the extract for the selected plants, respectively. An ethnobotanical field study reveals that the ethnic people have considerable traditional knowledge of these plants and their utilization.
