Abstract

---

Diabetes is metabolic syndrome and is major death leading disease due to the glucose over and under production or insulin deficiency. Research into this field has generated the need to pave the unmet path of diabetes treatment. Traditional plants have been used to treat and cure various diseases, and this has led to increased use of medicinal plants in the search for new drugs from nature. The discovery of new drugs is often established based on the knowledge that plant extracts can be used to treat diseases in humans. The plants are potential sources of natural bioactive compounds that are, but not limited to, secondary metabolites. Similarly. we tried to explore the potential of several plants species like Scoparia Dulcis and citrus fruits which already possess sugar lowering activities, further helps us in rationalizing the hypothesis for the development of potential synthetic compounds, which showed better activity as compared to marketed antidiabetic drugs.
