ethanol extract of eucalyptus citriodora

Ethanol extract of Eucalyptus citriodora is a botanical preparation obtained by solvent extraction (typically using ethanol) from the leaves of Eucalyptus citriodora, also known as lemon eucalyptus. This extract contains both volatile compounds (primarily citronellal, along with eucalyptol and other terpenoids) and non-volatile phytochemicals (including triterpenes, tannins, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds)[1][3][8]. Preclinical studies show **insulinotropic and antidiabetic effects**, likely due to the stimulation of pancreatic β-cell insulin release, improvement in β-cell function, inhibition of DPP-IV activity, reduction in starch digestion and glucose diffusion, and suppression of advanced protein glycation, mediated by phytochemicals such as quercitrin, isoquercitrin, and rhodomyrtosone E[1][3]. Additional observed activities include **antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hepatoprotective, diuretic, and insect-repellent effects**[1][3][6][8].
