Yes, since ancient times, Ayurvedic practitioners used wooden pieces of Pterocarpus to control diabetes. The wood pieces were soaked in water overnight, filtered and consumed by diabetic patients.
This was further improved by preparing tumblers carved from the wood of Pterocarpus in which water was stored overnight and consumed by diabetic patients the following day.
In these glycosides, the glucose moiety binds aglycone directly through a carbon-carbon bond.
SGLT2 is a protein that facilitates glucose reabsorption in the kidney. SGLT2 inhibitors lower the blood glucose levels by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney, thus increasing glucose excretion.
Clinical study results have revealed that Pterocarpus marsupium extract controlled both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in type 2, formerly called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) subjects. Also, its blood glucose-lowering efficacy is comparable with a standard anti-diabetic agent such as Tolbutamide. Both these clinical studies have been published by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
