Thousands of scientific studies have shown the important therapeutic
property of plant secondary metabolites in the prevention
of
many chronic diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases and
diabetes
mellitus. These ailments affect people in a growing and
alarming
rate [1–5]. The dominance of diabetes in recent decades
has
increased dramatically worldwide [6]. Unless treated quickly,
can lead to serious complications, including hyperglycemia,
diabetic
ketoacidosis, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney
failure
[7]. The adjustment of the blood sugar level is a very important
and efficient approach to control diabetes. One of the ways to
fight
against these diseases is the inhibition of enzymes with critical
roles
in their evolution [8,9].
