Antidiabetic Potential of Tecoma stans: A Scientific Validation: Profiling and Activity stans Leaves

Diabetes mellitus remains a major global health challenge, driving the continuous search for effective and safe therapeutic alternatives from natural sources. This book provides a comprehensive scientific validation of the traditional medicinal claims surrounding Tecoma stans (L.) Juss. (Bignoniaceae). Focusing specifically on the ethanolic extract of its leaves (EETS), the research details the systematic evaluation of its phytochemical profile and biological efficacy. Through rigorous in-vivo and in-vitro experimental models, the study demonstrates how the bioactive compounds-such as specific alkaloids and flavonoids-contribute to a significant dose-dependent reduction in blood glucose levels, alongside improvements in lipid profiles and body weight management. Ideal for researchers, pharmacologists, and students in natural product chemistry, this work serves as an essential reference for transforming ethnobotanical knowledge into scientifically backed herbal formulations.
