In the last few years, there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine and gaining popularity both in developing and developed countries because of their natural origin and less side effects. A comprehensive review was conducted to pile up information about medicinal plants used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It is a metabolic disorder of the endocrine system and affecting nearly 10% of the population all over the world also the number of those affected is increasing day by day. The profiles presented include information about the scientific and family name, plant parts and test model used, the degree of hypoglycemic activity, and the active chemical agents. The large number of plants described in this review (108 plant species belonging to 56 families) clearly demonstrated the importance of herbal plants in the treatment of diabetes. The effects of these plants may delay the development of diabetic complications and correct the metabolic abnormalities. This work stimulates the researchers for further research on the potential use of medicinal plants having antidiabetic potential.

A Quick Review on Anti-diabetic Plants and Action of Phytochemicals

Diabetes is an endocrinological disorder arising from insulin deficiency or due to effectiveness of the insulin produced by the body. Around 200 million people of the world are currently suffering from diabetes and the figure is projected to rise to 300 million within 2025 by the World Health Organization. The disease is caused by the inability of pancreas to produce insulin or inability of the body metabolic system to properly use the insulin produced.In Asia, India and China are the leading countries in herbal plants research, and there has been an increase in medicinal research on plants extract for diabetes treatment since 1995 in these regions. The objective of the present study was to document the medicinal plants used for thediabetes treatment, so that future work directed towards the identification of active principles from these medicinal plants may provide the opportunity for the development of a novel class of agents for the treatment of diabetes.In this review, we have attempted to compile a list of total 141 plant species belongs to 82 families, along with their type ofused extracts,botanical name, Plant part used and active principlesare includedbased on available scientific literaturesthose has been reported to be effective in diabetes. Different mechanism of action of anti-hyperglycemic phytochemicals are also shortly discussed. The information collected shows that plant leaves are about 51% more favorable for storing active ingredients, as compared to other parts of themedicinal plants.The documentation of anti-diabetic medicinal plants stimulates the researchers for further research on the potential use of medicinal plants having anti-diabetic potential.

Antidiabetic potential of medicinal plants

Acta poloniae pharmaceutica

It is the fact that diabetes can't be cured and it has never been reported that someone had recovered totally from diabetes. The rapidly increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus is becoming a serious threat to mankind health in all parts of the world. Moreover, during the past few years some of the new bioactive drugs isolated from plants showed antidiabetic activity with more efficacy than oral hypoglycemic agents used in clinical therapy. The traditional medicine performed a good clinical practice and is showing a bright future in the therapy of diabetes mellitus. The present paper reviews natural medicines with their mechanism of action and their pharmacological test results. Many studies have confirmed the benefits of medicinal plants with hypoglycemic effects in the management of diabetes mellitus. The effects of these plants may delay the development of diabetic complications and correct the metabolic abnormalities. WHO has pointed out this prevention of diabetes and its ...

Role of medicinal plants in the management of diabetes mellitus: a review

3 Biotech, 2018

Medicinal plants have a vast potential in the treatment of various ailments due to the presence of therapeutically important phytochemicals. Diabetes is a serious metabolic disorder and several marketed medications are available to alleviate the symptoms of diabetes. However, these over the counter drugs are expensive and associated with several complications. Herbal medicines are gaining importance as they are cost-effective and also display improved therapeutic effects with lesser side effects. The present review includes the reports available on medicinal plants used for treating diabetes complications. The aim of the review is to categorize and summarize the available information on medicinal plants with anti-diabetic properties and suggesting outlooks for future research. A systematic search was performed on medicinal plants with anti-diabetic properties using several search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and other online journals and books. All the plants listed in this review are native to Asian countries and are routinely used by the traditional practitioners for the treatment of various ailments. Based on the literature data available, a total of 81 medicinal plants with anti-diabetic, anti-hyperglycemic, hypoglycemic, anti-lipidemic and insulin mimetic properties have been compiled in this review. This review provides useful information about the different medicinal plants for treating diabetes-associated complications. Further research can be carried out to study the active constituents and mechanism of these plants.

Evaluation of Medicinal Plants to Defeat Diabetes and Related Complications-Review

Diabetes is one of the major health problems around the globe in recent time, its increasing prevalence and high cost of treatment in the world is a cause of concern and is posing a continuous threat to human health since decades.

Uncontrolled hyperglycemia in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes lead to the development of both acute and long term complications. There has been a need and desire for a natural, more effective and economically feasible alternative to synthetic anti-diabetic drugs due to their high cost, side effects and failure in achieving ideal results. Nature gives us an array of tools including medicinal plants to beat diabetes, its complications and the underlying causes that lead to diabetes. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in medicinal plants which are believed to be natural origin for bioactive compounds and antioxidants which attracted a great treaty of attention, to control life threatening disease like diabetes in which oxidative dent has been implicated.Interest in natural products research is strong and can be attributed to several factors, including unmet therapeutic requirements, the remarkable diversity of both chemical structures and biological activities of naturally occurring secondary metabolites and improved techniques to isolate, purify and structurally characterize these active constituents.
