The invention discloses a preparation method of extract of effective part of
Clinopodium chinense (Benth.) O. Kuntze for preventing and treating diabetes and an application thereof. The extract of the effective part is prepared from
Clinopodium chinense (Benth.) O. Kuntze as a
raw material, a concentrate is obtained by pulverizing,
ethanol extraction and reduced pressure
recovery, the concentrate is extracted by
petroleum ether and
ethyl acetate, and the obtained
ethyl acetate extract is purified by
macroporous resin. The extract of the effective part mainly comprises total flavone and terpenoids, and has obvious effects of reducing
blood sugar of rats with
streptozotocin diabetes, reducing the content of
serum cholesterol, protecting the
islet cells, inhibiting the activity of alpha-
glucosidase, and protecting the vascular endothelial cells. Thus, the extract of the effective part of
Clinopodium chinense (Benth.) O. Kuntze has favorable functions for reducing
blood sugar, reducing blood fat, and protecting the
islet cells and the vascular endothelial cells, and can be used for preventing and treating diabetes,
dyslipidemia induced by diabetes and diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.
