The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as “Zechmeister” after its
founder, Laszlo Zechmeister, have appeared under the Springer Imprint ever since
the series’ inauguration in 1938. It is therefore not really surprising to find out that
the list of contributing authors, who were awarded a Nobel Prize, is quite long: Kurt
Alder, Derek H.R. Barton, George Wells Beadle, Dorothy Crowfoot-Hodgkin, Otto
Diels, Hans von Euler-Chelpin, Paul Karrer, Luis Federico Leloir, Linus Pauling,
Vladimir Prelog, with Walter Norman Haworth and Adolf F.J. Butenandt serving as
members of the editorial board. The volumes contain contributions on various topics
related to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry, function or use
of various classes of naturally occurring substances ranging from small molecules to
biopolymers. Each contribution is written by a recognized authority in the field and
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic in question. Addressed
to biologists, technologists, and chemists alike, the series can be used by the expert
as a source of information and literature citations and by the non-expert as a means of
orientation in a rapidly developing discipline. Listed in Medline. All contributions
are listed in PubMed.

1 Introduction
Mexico is a multifaceted and heterogeneous country with high cultural richness and
10–12% of the world’s biodiversity. This country ranks 4th in the variety of vascular
plants with about 31,000 different species; of this stock more than 3350 form part of
the medicinal flora. When the Spanish conquerors arrived to ancient Mexico, they
found existing civilizations with a holistic view of illnesses and healing. These early
Mesoamericans inhabitants used religious, magic rituals and a variety of plant-based
remedies to improve health. The abundance and variety of Mexican medicinal flora
can be traced from published work written from the sixteenth century to modern
times. Crucial and most important sources of information about traditional Mexican
medicine were recently reviewed [1].
The use of herbal medicines survives to this day in modern Mexico; the original
Aztec beliefs and practices are interlaced with strands of the European medicine
introduced by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. They are an integral element of
alternative medical care and the best testimony of their efficacy and cultural value is
the persistence of medicinal plants in present-day Mexican markets, where the
highest percentage of medicinal and aromatic plants is sold.
For more than 100 years, researchers have explored Mexican medicinal flora from
the ethnobotanical, anthropological, chemical, pharmacological, and biotechnolog-
ical points of view; in a few cases some clinical investigations have been pursued.
The most important investigations have been carried out at the Instituto Nacional de
Antropología, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Universidad Autónoma de
Nuevo León, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos, Instituto Tecnológico
y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana,
Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional,
and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. The no-longer existing Instituto
Médico Nacional and Instituto Mexicano de Plantas Medicinales deserve special
mention since they were devoted to the study of Mexican medicinal plants in
different periods of the twentieth century. Both are good examples of important
institutions dedicated to the comprehensive analysis of the national Materia Medica,
and were pioneering institutions in bioprospecting matters.
In the twenty-first century, the commerce of medicinal plants in Mexico has grown
due to a global resurgence of herbal-based remedies. Furthermore, according to a
recent survey, 54% of health professionals and 49% of physicians have used medicinal
plants as an alternative therapy for several diseases. Twenty-eight percent of health
professionals and 26% of physicians, have recommended or prescribed medicinal
plants to their patients, in particular for digestive and respiratory ailments; finally, 73%

2.1 Diabetes
The global prevalence of diabetes in adults has been increasing over recent decades,
making this disease a major public health threat in countries all over the world. The
International Diabetes Federation estimated the global prevalence to be 425 million in
2017, which implied a health expenditure of 673 billion USD [4]. The prevalence of
diabetes in adults aged 20–79 years is predicted to rise to 10.4% in 2040. Of the total
diabetics, about 95% have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Mexico is one of the
countries most affected by this metabolic disease, in particular indigenous people
owing to changes in their traditional lifestyle and the effects of industrialization on
both environmental and sociocultural norms. In 2017, there were more than 12 million
people affected by diabetes, representing a prime cause of mortality. In Mexico as in
other regions of the world, people use plants to treat the symptoms of diabetes. More
than 300 different plants have been described as reputedly beneficial for the diabetic
patient [5–7], but most claims are subjective and few have received any suitable
scientific evaluation. So far, about 200 plants have been investigated scientifically in
Mexico in order to establish their antidiabetic potential. Most studies have been
limited to the preclinical evaluation of extracts prepared with selected solvents using
different pharmacological models [6]; the depth of their analysis is variable since some
authors have reported in detail the mode of action of the extracts while others just
measured their hypoglycemic activity. Other studies have determined both the active
principles and the preclinical efficacy of the traditional preparations. Finally, only a
very few studies have pursued in-depth clinical observations. Most of the work of the
present author group falls into the second category, involving detailed phytochemical
work coupled with substantial preclinical biological observations.
Some examples of our work on antidiabetic plants are described in the following
sections. In addition, other investigations, from other authors and ourselves, carried out
4 R. Mata et al.
after a survey on diabetic plants was published in 2005 [6], are summarized in the
