Abstract
An aqueous methanol/water extract of the Oriental crude drug “chimo”, Anemarrhena asphodeloides rhizomes, exhibited a marked hypoglycemie activity on dosing to mice. Fractionation of the extract, by monitoring the pharmacological activity, resulted in isolation of four glycans, anamerans A, B, C and D. These constituents displayed significant hypoglycemie effects in normal and alloxan-produced hyperglycemie mice.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
