The invention discloses a natural anti-diabetic
medicine and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method of the natural anti-diabetic
medicine is specifically implemented according to the following steps: step 1, carrying out cold soaking extraction by using 75% industrial
ethanol, and respectively extracting by using
petroleum ether and
ethyl acetate to prepare a notopterygium root extract; 2, separating and purifying the notopterygium root extract obtained in the step 1 by utilizing
silica gel column chromatography in combination with
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain a single-component compound; the compound is identified as
astragalin through nuclear magnetic spectrum and
mass spectrum; the natural anti-diabetic
drug prepared by the invention can effectively inhibit the increase of the weight,
food intake and
water intake of diabetic
gene mice, and the effect of the natural anti-diabetic
drug is superior to that of a first-line
drug rosiglitazone for diabetes; the invention can provide a new method for research and development of preparation and application of novel natural anti-diabetic drugs, and also provides a reliable scientific basis for deep development and utilization of the folk drug notopterygium root in China.
