Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar levels, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, dyslipidemia, increased angiogenesis, and a multitude of associated complications. The use of herbs in the treatment of diabetes has been a longstanding practice, proving effective in preventing and treating diabetic symptoms. However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying their effectiveness remain largely unexplored. A versatile class of phytochemicals, the chalcone, serves as precursor to a wide range of flavonoids, obtained naturally and derived synthetically as well as semi synthetically found effective in treating Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Natural chalcones and its plant metabolites were reported effective in treating diabetes and related complications by virtue of their interaction with diverse metabolic targets involved in glucose homeostasis. This review specifically explores studies on such natural chalcones, its plant metabolites and phyto-complexes conducted within the last decade on drug targets of Type 2 diabetes mellitus like α-glucosidase, PTP1B, α-amylase, DPP-IV, aldose reductase, PPARγ.
期刊介绍：
Phytochemistry Reviews is the sole review journal encompassing all facets of phytochemistry. It publishes peer-reviewed papers in six issues annually, including topical issues often stemming from meetings organized by the Phytochemical Society of Europe. Additionally, the journal welcomes original review papers that contribute to advancing knowledge in various aspects of plant chemistry, function, biosynthesis, effects on plant and animal physiology, pathology, and their application in agriculture and industry. Invited meeting papers are supplemented with additional review papers, providing a comprehensive overview of the current status across all areas of phytochemistry.
