Pterocarpus marsupium, also known as Indian kino is a large tree from the Leguminosae family. It
grows in the deciduous forests in central and peninsular India and Sri Lanka. The bark and
heartwood of the tree has been used historically in the treatment of diabetes. Several potentially
antibiabetic chemicals including epicatechin, marsupin, pterostilbene and protosupin have been
identified in P.maruspium.
Antidiabetic and antilipemic effects: In experimentally induced diabetes in rats, 8 days of daily
treatment with P. marsupium alcoholic extract was shown to reverse diabetes and to correct high
cholesterol and lipids secondary to diabetes. Similar effects on blood glucose and serum lipids were
seen in another rat model of diabetes. In addition, this study showed an increase in insulin secretion
during the 30-day treatment with P. marsupium water extract. In yet another study, impaired
glycogen synthesis in the liver secondary to diabetes was improved after 30 days of treatment
suggesting that P. marsupium modulated tissue glucose utilization in insulin-dependent tissues and
could serve as one possible mechanism of its antidiabetic activity. In cultured skeletal muscles in
vitro, P. marsupium extract was shown to improve glucose transport, one of the pathological changes in diabetes. In a chronic model of diabetes, during the 115 day study period, P. marsupium extract was shown to slow the development, progression and severity of cataract, a common complication of chronic diabetes.

Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects: 
In human peripheral blood, P. marsupium extract was shown to decrease prostaglandin E2 levels possibly through inhibition of the inflammatory mediator cyclooxygenase 2.
