Murraya koenigii leaves has been claimed by the Ayurveda physicians to control hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetic subjects with special reference to obese type 2 diabetes. We screened the hypoglycemic activity of M. koenigii in non-diabetic and diabetic model rats following a standardized approach. Ethanol extract (80%) of M. koenigii in non-diabetic rats showed no effect in the fasting state. On the other hand, the extract showed significant hypoglycemic effect (p=0.03) in the fasting state in type 2 model rats.
