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.
