Objective: To study antidiabetic effect of various parts of B. prionitis. Materials and methods: Antidiabetic activity of B. prionitis was evaluated using alloxan induced hyperglycemic rats. The potency of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of leaf, stem and ischolar_main was compared with that of chlorpropamide at a dose of 200 and 100mg/kg respectively. The blood glucose level was measured colorimetrically. Results: Alcoholic&aqueous extracts of leaf and ischolar_main caused significant fall in blood glucose level in diabetic rats. Conclusion: B. prionitis is almost equipotent to chlorpropamide in its ability to reduce the sugar levels and can be recommended for further studies.
