| Abstract | ||
Diabetes is one of the common metabolic disorders due to insulin deficiency. It is estimated that 1 in 5 may be diabetic by the year 2025.The most active plants are Allium sativum, Azadirachtha indica ,Momordica charantia and Ficus bengalensis. The antidiabetic plants contains the compounds showing antidiabetic activity. The compounds are inorganic ions, coumarins, lipids, flavonoids, steroids, peptides, amines, terpenoides, glycopeptides, alkaloids, complex carbohydrates and others which decreases glucose level in blood. This review paper also discusses the chemical constituents of few antidiabetic plants. |
