ABSTRACT:
The production and assessment of antidiabetic tablets made from Aegle marmelos (bael) leaves are the main objectives of this study. Because of its medicinal qualities, especially in the treatment of diabetes, Aegle marmelos has long been utilized in Ayurvedic medicine. Active phytochemicals were extracted from the leaves and then combined with conventional pharmaceutical methods to create tablets. To determine the formulation's antidiabetic potential, a number of tests were conducted, including physicochemical analysis, pre-formulation investigations, and in vitro experiments. To guarantee quality and effectiveness, parameters such tablet hardness, disintegration time, and dissolve rate were carefully measured. The leaves of Aegle marmelos may improve insulin sensitivity, enabling the body to use glucose more efficiently. The extracts have demonstrated promise in enhancing glucose tolerance and reducing blood glucose levels. The leaves' antioxidant qualities aid in lowering oxidative stress, which is frequently higher in people with diabetes.
