Description

Metformin is a drug that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of xanthine oxidase inhibitors and has been shown to reduce the production of reactive oxygen species in vitro. Metformin also inhibits chalcone synthase, which is an enzyme found in plants that converts simple phenols into more complex flavonoids. Metformin has been shown to have inhibitory activities against xanthine oxidase and dihydrofolate reductase, which are enzymes involved in the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines. Metformin decreases intestinal glucose absorption and increases insulin sensitivity, leading to enhanced insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. This drug can also cause alopecia (hair loss) as a side effect. Withania somnifera, a plant extract from India, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties similar to those of metformin at low doses. Withanolides, withaferin A, withan
