This volume takes an in-depth look at the potential pharmacological
applications of 11 important antidiabetic plants, examining their
antihyperglycemic, hypoglycemic, and anti-lipidemic properties
along with current genome editing research perspectives. Plant
natural products, or phytoconstituents, are promising candidates
for antidiabetic pharmacological actions. The phytoconstituents,
such as i' avonoids, terpenoids, saponins, carotenoids, alkaloids
and glycosides, play vital roles in the current and future potent
antidiabetic drug development programs Each chapter reviews a
particular plant with antidiabetic properties, explaining the
therapeutic aspects, its active antidiabetic compounds, and
relevant genome editing technology. The specific plants discussed
include Azadirachta indica (commonly known as neem, nimtree or
Indian lilac), Gymnema sylvestre (commonly called gymnema,
Australian cowplant, and Periploca of the woods), Syzygium cumini
(commonly known as Malabar plum, Java plum, black plum, jamun or
jambolana), Ceylon cinnamon (or true cinnamon, as opposed to cassia
cinnamon), insulin plant (or Costus pictus), Trigonella
foenum-graecum (better known as fenugreek), Mulberry, Nigella
sativa L. (black caraway, also known as black cumin, nigella,
kalojeera, kalonji or kalanji), Aegle marmelos (L.) (commonly known
as bael (or bili or bhel), also Bengal quince, golden apple,
Japanese bitter orange, stone apple or wood apple), Ficus
benghalensis (the banyan, banyan fig and Indian banyan), and of
course, garlic (Allium sativum). Antidiabetic Plants for Drug
Discovery: Pharmacology, Secondary Metabolite Profiling, and
Ingredients with Insulin Mimetic Activity will serve as a valuable
source of information for students, drug researchers, medical
practitioners, diabetic patients, and many others in the effort to
gain understand of how these plant drug molecules can help fight
diabetes.
