Abstract

Herbal medications provide universal benefits such as effectiveness, safety, cost, and acceptance. With increased interest in plant extract research, there is also increased concern about the activity of bioactive lumberjack climber plants indigenous to Sri Lanka and Indian submontane forests. It was recently determined that plants containing kotalanol, salacinol (derived from roots, especially stems), and mangiferin (xanthone from roots) are anti-diabetic agents. () contains 1,3-diketone, dulcitol, leucopelargonidin, epicatechin, furovatannin, glycoside tannin, triterpene, 30-hydroxy-20(30)-dihydroisoigesterol, hydroxyferruginol, acidic Lambert, and 16-acetate. Chemical components such as collagen in 26-hydroxy-1,3-friederandione and maitenfolate have also been discovered in roots. Root decoction treats skin conditions, rheumatic conditions, gonorrhoea, hemorrhoids, asthma, edema, irritation, dry mouth, menstrual cramps, and dysmenorrhea. The gastrointestinal suppression of enzymes that take over glucose through the blood reduces postprandial hyperglycemia and improves blood sugar control. Additionally, mangiferin can impede the action of aldose reductase, which delays the development or worsening of diabetes. Consequently, efforts are underway to discover new therapeutic targets, signifying a novel approach to medication development. In this regard, has been widely consumed owing to its discoveries and is currently the focus of substantial studies on diabetes treatment.
