PRECLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF POLYHERBAL TABLETS OF EXTRACT OF AZADIRACHTA INDICA, ALLIUM SATIVUM AND ANNONA SQUAMOSA IN ALLOXAN INDUCED DIABETES IN RATS Authors: Suresh Dhakar* And Harshal Tare
ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder, is affecting a significant portion of the global
population. Traditional medicines have shown potential in managing diabetes with reduced side
effects and holistic health benefits. The present study aimed to develop a polyherbal tablet
formulation comprising extracts of Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum, and Annona squamosa and
assess its antidiabetic efficacy in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The extracts' phytochemical profile
was characterized, followed by the formulation of tablets using appropriate excipients. The tablets'
efficacy was evaluated based on various biochemical parameters, including serum glucose and
glycated hemoglobin levels. Results demonstrated that the polyherbal formulation exhibited
significant antidiabetic effects, potentially attributed to the synergistic action of bioactive
compounds present in the herbal extracts. The study highlights the potential of integrating
traditional herbal medicine into modern therapeutic strategies for diabetes management.
