S, tannins, alkaloids, and flavonoids had been performed as described before [22].ResultsPreliminary screening of phytochemicalsVarious tests carried out for presence of phytochemicals in MEAAS indicated the presence of tannins, alkaloids, and flavonoids.Toxicity evaluationThe crude extract did not show any toxicity in mice even in the highest dose tested.Antihyperglycemic activity evaluation resultsAcute toxicity test was carried out as previously described [21]. Mice were divided into nine groups, each group consisting of six animals. Group 1 was given 1 Tween 80 in typical saline (2 ml per kg body weight). The other eight groups (Groups two?) have been administered, respectively, 100, 200, 300, 600, 800, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg of MEAAS per kg body weight. All animals have been closely observed for the following eight hours to notice any behavioral modifications or mortality and had been kept below close observation for the next two weeks.MEAAS, when administered at doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg per kg physique weight, dose-dependently and considerably lowered the concentration of blood glucose in glucose-loaded mice by 22.9, 30.7, 45.four, and 46.1 respectively. By comparison, a standard antihyperglycemic drug, glibenclamide, when administered to mice at a dose of 10 mg per kg body weight, lowered blood glucose level by 48.9 . The outcomes are shown in Table 1 and indicate that at the highest dose of 400 mg, the antihyperglycemic activity of MEAAS was comparable to that of glibenclamide.Analgesic activity evaluation resultsDose-dependent and considerable reductions in the quantity of abdominal writhings induced by intraperitoneal administration of acetic acid have been observed with MEAAS. At doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg per kg body weight, MEAAS reduced the number of writhings, respectively, by 27.6, 37.9, 41.4, and 44.8 .
