Pharmacology
The hypoglycemic activity of alkaloids isolated from Catharanthus roseus have been studied pharmacologically and a natural remedy derived from the plant has been marketed under the proprietary name Vinculin® as a treatment for diabetes.
Alcoholic whole plant extracts at high dose (500 mg/kg) exhibited significant antihyperglycemic activity and has absence of acute toxicity. The extract effectively reverses the changes in the blood sugar level and the beta-cell population. The exact phytoconstituents responsible for the antidiabetic effect are not known yet.
