Abstract
Effective treatment of diabetes is increasingly dependent on active constituents of medicinal plants capable of controlling hyperglycemia as well as its secondary complications. Sensing the importance of documenting such medicinal plants, here we describe a web database containing information (name, literature citation, active compounds and few related full text articles) of the diabetes medicinal plants exhibiting hypoglycemic, antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. http://www.autogeneralfilters.com/holycross/Home.html.
Highlights
Diabetes mellitus is possibly the world’s largest growing metabolic disorder and around 30 million people around the world suffer from this disorder.[1]
Herbal drugs constitute an important part of traditional medicine and literature shows that there are more than 400 plant species showing antidiabetic activity. [4, 5] Our interest is to study these anti diabetic medicinal plants
The secondary infections associated with diabetes are restricted to antimicrobial effect by plant products
Summary
Diabetes mellitus is possibly the world’s largest growing metabolic disorder and around 30 million people around the world suffer from this disorder.[1]. [3] The treatment of diabetes with synthetic drugs is generally not preferred because of its high cost and the range of side effects caused. Development of traditional or alternative medicine is needed. Herbal drugs constitute an important part of traditional medicine and literature shows that there are more than 400 plant species showing antidiabetic activity.
