TLDR
This study identified 18 potential DPP-IV inhibitors in 18 different plant extracts (12 of these plants have known antidi diabetic properties, whereas, for the remaining 6, antidiabetic activity has been reported for other plant species from the same genus).
Abstract
Background Natural extracts play an important role in traditional medicines for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and are also an essential resource for new drug discovery. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are potential candidates for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the effectiveness of certain antidiabetic extracts of natural origin could be, at least partially, explained by the inhibition of DPP-IV.
