Stevia is the common word to refer to the plant stevia rebaudiana which is the sweetest of the stevia species of plants and historically used as a sweetening agent. Several studies have suggested that in addition to their sweetness, steviosides and their related compounds, including rebaudioside A and isosteviol, may offer additional therapeutic benefits. These benefits include anti-hyperglycaemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-diarrheal, diuretic, and immunomodulatory actions. Isosteviol inhibits DNA polymerases and human DNA topoisomerase II. It also retards growth of three different types of human cancer cells and inhibits inflammation induced by TPA. Isosteviol had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
