We prepared
extracts of earthworm paste with petroleum ether, 95 percent ethanol and phosphate buffer for a preliminary screening process.
To determine antidiabetic properties, the team measured how much the ?-amylase enzyme was inhibited by using acarbose as
the reference. Out of the extracts, ethanol showed the greatest inhibitory effect on ?-amylase, while petroleum ether and
phosphate buffer came next. IC50 values were measured for all extracts and compared against acarbose. Results revealed that
the petroleum ether extract was the most toxic for brine shrimp, followed by both the ethanol and phosphate buffer extracts.
According to these results, Lumbricusrubellus earthworm paste appears to have significant antidiabetic and cytotoxic features,
so additional studies are necessary for drug development.</Abstract><Email>vedavarshan19@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>15</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2025</year><keyword>Anti Diabetic, Cyatotoxic Activity, Earthworm, Invitro</keyword><AUTHORS>Veda Varshan M.P,Dr. Akila C.R,Dr. Purushothaman M</AUTHORS><afflication>KLR Pharmacy College, Paloncha, Badradri Kothagudem.Dist-507115, Telangana, India.,KLR Pharmacy College, Paloncha, Badradri Kothagudem.Dist-507115, Telangana, India.,KLR Pharmacy College, Paloncha, Badradri Kothagudem.Dist-507115, Telangana, India.</afflication></Article></Articles>
