The mechanism of dose-dependent hypoglycemic effect, the margin of safety and ED50 of three structurally unrelated compounds, tolbutamide (TB), centpiperalone (CP) and a swerchirin-containing fraction (SWI) from the plant Swertia chirayita, were investigated in experimental models. After a single oral administration of TB, CP and SWI to groups of normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mild and severe diabetic rats, the blood sugar lowering effect and ED50 of the agents were determined. Plasma Immuno Reactive Insulin (IRI) levels and the degree of islet beta cell degranulation were assayed using RIA and histochemical staining, respectively, in normal rats treated with the agents. The percent blood sugar lowering, increase in IRI levels and beta cell degranulation were highest in CP treated normal rats (69, 124 and 75%, respectively). In addition, CP was the only agent found active in STZ-induced severely diabetic rats (P < 0.01). In STZ-mild diabetic rats, however, TB was more effective than CP and SWI. By analysis of data using Anova method, it is concluded that CP is more effective than SWI (P < 0.01) and TB. However, SWI an impure natural product showed better blood sugar lowering than tolbutamide which is a drug in use.
