General description

Natural product derived from plant source.
Nimbidiol is a modified diterpenoid. It is isolated from the root-bark of Azadirachta indica (Indian ‘neem′).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nimbidiol has an ability to inhibit intestinal glucosidases, including maltase-glucoamylase, sucrase-isomaltase, lactase, trehalase and fungal α-glucosidases. Thus, this bioactive molecule has all the potential to be used as an anti-diabetic drug

Azadirachta indica, used in antidiabetic herbal drugs, was reported to contain α-glucosidase inhibitor. Bioassay guided purification characterized the inhibitor as nimbidiol (a diterpenoid), present in root and stem-bark of the tree. Nimbidiol inhibited intestinal (mammalian) maltase-glucoamylase, sucrase-isomaltase, lactase, trehalase and
