Aims: Arganimide A (4,4-dihydroxy-3,3-imino-di-benzoic acid) is a compound belonging to a family of aminophenolics found in fruit of Argania spinosa. The purpose of this study was to investigate the glucose and lipid lowering activity of Arganimide A (ARG A). Methods: The effect of a single dose and daily oral administration of Arganimide A (ARG A) on blood glucose levels and plasma lipid profile was tested in normal and streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight. Results: Single oral administration of ARG A reduced blood glucose levels from 26.50±0.61 mmol/L to 14.27±0.73 mmol/L (p<0.0001) six hours after administration in STZ diabetic rats. Furthermore, blood glucose levels were decreased from 5.35±0.30 mmol/L to 3.57±0.17 mmol/L (p<0.0001) and from 26.50±0.61 mmol/L to 3.67±0.29 mmol/L (p<0.0001) in normal and STZ diabetic rats, respectively, after seven days of treatment. Moreover, no significant changes in body weight in normal and STZ rats were shown. According to the lipid profile, the plasma triglycerides levels were decreased significantly in diabetic rats after seven days of ARG treatment (p<0.05). Moreover, seven days of ARG A treatment decreased significantly the plasma cholesterol concentrations (p<0.001). Conclusion: ARG A possesses glucose and lipid-lowering activity in diabetic rats and this natural compound may be beneficial in the treatment of diabetes.

Lipid profile is a blood test that measures the amount of lipids, or fats, in your blood. The lipids measured are usually total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and triglycerides. When levels of these lipids are abnormal, there is an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. In our study, we use methanol crude extract for lipid lowering activity on rabbit and found that lipid profile was reduced by 14.0, 1.0, 4.0 and 15.0 mg/dl for total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and triglyceride respectively after using the plant extract (dose 500mg/rabbit for 10 days); where atorvastatin (0.005mg/rabbit) was used as standard lipid lowering agent. We also focused on the antioxidant property of crude methanol extract. Here we also carried out free radical-scavenging activity study and found the IC50 value for C. tamala is 6.00 μg/ml where the standard antioxidant (ascorbic acid) gave the value of 3.21μg/ml.
