Description:
Empirical evidence of complementary medicine from one community in Kalimantan often uses Ulin
fruit (Eusideroxylon zwageri) for medical therapy or as herbal drinks by people with diabetes mellitus.
This research aims to identify the antidiabetic compound of Ulin fruit extract against Streptozotocin
(STZ) induced diabetic rats. Extraction was performed by maceration method using 96% ethanol,
phytochemical test of extracts, extract toxicity test on mice (50 mg/BW to 200 mg/BW), test antidiabetic
extract in diabetic rats induced by STZ as much as 70 mg/kgBW with each extract dose of 150, 300, and
600 mg given for 14 days, positive control is Glibenclamide 0.25 mg/kg/day, and the negative control
is CMC 1%. Phytochemical test results showed that the extract of Ulin contains alkaloids, tannins,
flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, and steroids. Ulin fruit extract was not toxic to rats at 50, 150, and
200 mg for three days. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, there was an effect of giving the extract on
changes in the average body weight and body temperature of rats during three days of administration
(p = 0.000). The results showed novelty that the extract of Ulin fruit affected reducing blood glucose
levels in diabetic rats during 14 days of administration (p=0.000).
