Identification of Phenolic Compounds from Nettle as New Candidate Inhibitors of Main Enzymes Responsible on Type-II Diabetes.

Background: In medicinal chemistry, the discovery of small organic molecules that can be optimized and lead to a future drug capable of effectively modulating the biological activity of a therapeutic target remains a major challenge. Because of the harmful secondary effects of synthesized therapeutic molecules, the development of research has been oriented towards phytomedicines. Phenolic compounds from medicinal plants are constantly explored for new therapeutic use.
