Abstract:Objective: To study the active fraction and constituents from Potentilla chinesis.Method: Tested fractions were obtained by different solvent-partition from 95% ethanol-extracts of P.chinesis,and tested compound was isolated by repeated chromatography.Anti-diabetes experiment was taken by using alloxan-induced diabetic mice.Result: The fraction F and the tested compound revealed obvious difference comparing with the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion: Fraction F and potentilla flavone revealed the significant hypoglycemic effect in alloxan-induced diabetic mice.
