Hypoglycaemic action of bengalenoside, a glucoside isolated from Ficus bengalensis Linn, in normal and alloxan diabetic rabbits.
A comparative study of the hypoglycaemic action of the ethabolic extract of the bark of Ficus bengalensis and a glucoside isolated from it has been made with tolbutamide, both in normal and alloxan diabetic rabbits. The glucoside is more active than the crude extract and it is half as potent as tolbutamide.
