Diabetes mellitus and the diseases that are associated with it is a major public health problem that affects approximately 5% of the world's population. The study aims at evaluating the antidiabetic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects of ethyl acetate fraction of Pterocarpus erinaceus on Albino Mice.  The acute toxicity study and phytochemical screening were carried out on the ethyl acetate fraction.  Antidiabetic, Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory activity were also analyzed at different doses. The acute toxicity study showed LD₅₀ of 5000 mg/kg while the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and cardiac glycosides majorly. The two doses exhibited a significant reduction in blood glucose levels but were more pronounced in 250 mg/kg on the 4th day when compared with glibenclamide. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of ethyl acetate fraction of P. erinaceus were investigated in Swiss albino mice with significant (P < 0.05) analgesic effects and (P < 0.05) anti-inflammatory effects.

The doses of 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg showed a better analgesic effect compared to the positive control (Pentazocine 10 mg/kg), with a  significant difference in mean time reaction compared with the fractions. The 400 mg/kg showed a better anti-inflammatory effect compared to the positive control (Aspirin 100 mg/kg), with a significant difference in mean time reaction compared with the fractions. The present study validates the folk medicinal use of the plant in Jos, Plateau state for diabetes mellitus and pain.
