Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a group of chronic metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin action and/or insulin secretion. It represents one of the main contributors to ill health and premature mortality worldwide and its prevalence has been rising during the last decades. Unfortunately, many antidiabetic agents for diabetes either have inadequate efficacy or significant mechanism-based side effects. A great deal of interest has been developed to the various natural bioactive compounds isolated and characterized from medicinal plants. This review focuses specifically on four nature phytochemicals such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins and alkaloids whose properties are potencial to antidiabetic remedy.
