Dianthera secunda, Anredera cordifolia, antidiabetic activity, phytochemical screening, metabolites, microwave-assisted extraction.Abstract
Given the rise in type 2 diabetes cases, natural alternatives were explored through 11 surveys conducted with medicinal plant vendors at two market squares in Popayán, identifying over 30 species traditionally used for diabetes management. Four species were selected for study, with Dianthera secunda and Anredera cordifolia highlighted. Their extraction parameters were evaluated using microwave-assisted extraction, with extract yield (dry basis) as the response variable. The extracts underwent preliminary phytochemical screening, identifying secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, phenols, and terpenes—compounds with potential antidiabetic activity that support the need for further, more detailed research.
