Swertinin is a bioactive flavonoid compound found in plants of the Swertia genus, commonly used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It has demonstrated a range of pharmacological activities, including antidiabetic, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects. The mechanism of swertinin is thought to involve the regulation of glucose metabolism, enhancement of insulin secretion, and reduction of oxidative stress by modulating key cellular pathways. Its applications lie mainly in the development of herbal formulations and research into natural treatments for diabetes and liver-related disorders.
