Popis: The demand for herbal medicines in many pharmaceutical sectors is growing at a drastic rate due to their improved pharmacological actions, minimal side effects and cost-effectiveness. Anti-inflammatory phytochemicals are found to be efficacious against the treatment of inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, glomerulonephritis, hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. Anti-diabetic phytochemicals are found to treat the increasing incidence of diabetes prevalent globally. This work aims to perform the phytochemical screening and to evaluate the antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity of crude extract of Apama siliquosa Lamk. The method employed for obtaining the active principles includes soxhlation technique with methanol as solvent. The anti-inflammatory property was studied in vitro using inhibition of albumin denaturation technique as well as heat-induced hemolysis and IC50 value was found to be 39.5μg/ml and 36.30μg/ml respectively. The anti-diabetic activity was estimated using the alpha-amylase inhibition assay and Glucose diffusion inhibitory study. The IC50 value for alpha-amylase inhibition assay was found to be 15.75μg/ml. It also shows a strong inhibition of glucose across the dialysis membrane.
