Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
This article attempts to review the literature and the emerging policy issues on Antidiabetic plants for pharmaceutical usage. Also provides a brief review of different plants using in the traditional system for the treatment of diabetes since ancient times. Plants such as Allium cepa, Anacardium occidentale, Andrographic paniculata, Momordica charantia, Azadirachtha indica, Brassica oleraccia, Cinnamomum tamala and Withania sominifera are commonly using as remedy for diabetes. There is an increasing demand for the herbal medicines for diabetic ailments and many plant drugs from Ayurvedic system are being explored. The biological activities from various clinical and preclinical studies have been included. Some of the acclaimed valuation works done in the last few years have been considered for this purpose. Conservation of biodiversity based on the benefits of medicinal plants and the traditional knowledge can be considered as good starting point for effective conservation of Antidiabetic plants, which requires accurate and up-to date information on the status of medicinal plant populations, detailed area-specific study, landscape valuation, extent and nature of plant use by local communities.
