Abstract

This review shows some of the compounds isolated and identified from the plants that previously demostrated a hypoglycemic effect. These compounds have been classified in appropiate chemical groups and data are reported on their pharmacological activity, mechanism of action, and other properties. This paper reviews mucilages, glycans, proteins, pectins, flavonoids, steroids and triterpenoids, alkaloids, other nitrogen compounds and miscellaneous substances with hypoglycemic effect.
