“…SGs metabolism renders stevia consumption a potentially healthy choice that may contribute to reduced glucose levels in the blood circulation resulting in a number of health benefits, as mentioned before [3][4][5][6][7][8] and depriving tumor cells from an essential source of energy. In parallel, the plant derivatives manifest cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects in cancer cells and in vivo tumor models, as recent research suggests.…”

“…Stevia consumption appears to have positive outcomes in chronic diseases, such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension, while numerous studies describe its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects [3][4][5]. These properties are attributed to the plant's leaf extracts [6][7][8][9], which contain secondary metabolites, such as steviol glycosides (SGs), [10,11] and polyphenols [12] with potentially important bioactive effects. SGs are responsible for the plant's sweet taste and are classified as ent-kaurane type diterpenes with a distinct chemical structure composed of sugar moieties attached to an aglycone named Steviol (Figure 1).…”

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a perennial shrub from Paraguay that is nowadays widely cultivated, since it is increasingly being utilized as a sugar substitute in various foodstuffs due to its sweetness and minimal caloric content. These properties of the plant’s derivatives have spurred research on their biological activities revealing a multitude of benefits to human health, including antidiabetic, anticariogenic, antioxidant, hypotensive, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antitumor actions. To our knowledge, no recent reviews have surveyed and reported published work solely on the latter. Consequently, our main objective was to present a concise, literature-based review of the biological actions of stevia derivatives in various tumor types, as studied in in vitro and in vivo models of the disease. With global cancer estimates suggesting a 47% increase in cancer cases by 2040 compared to 2020, the data reviewed in this article should provide a better insight into Stevia rebaudiana and its products as a means of cancer prevention and therapy within the context of a healthy diet.

The emergence of chemical molecules has been a blessing for combating several diseases, but it has paved the way for troublesome situations such as various adverse effects, the emergence of resistance and so on. Various research has been underway on new molecules to find out the least effects and having a better potency is currently on its way and more concentration is being given upon traditional plants in order to avoid these aforementioned problems. Medicinal plants have been recognized to have potential drug uses. Any dysregulation is avoided due to the sweetness imparted by its glycosides and is known by it. The evaluation by phytochemical studies concluded the existence of tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, sterols, triterpenes with various potentials. [5][6] The purpose of this review is to understand the medicinal potential of stevia and its acceptance as a significant raw material for human diet.

Researches on new molecules with the least toxic effects and better potency is on its way and more attention is being given upon medicinal plants for forcing away the above problems. Medicinal plants have been recognized as potential drug candidates. Stevia, a natural sweetener with medicinal properties and also having nutritional, therapeutic and industrial importance is being used all over the world. Stevia rebaudiana leaves are usually referred to as candy, sweet and honey leaves. Diterpene glycosides are responsible for its high sweetening potential of leaves. The phytochemical properties of bioactive chemicals present in stevia leaves are involves in maintaining the physiological functions of human body. Paper also highlights the importance of nutritional aspects of dried stevia leaves, metabolism of stevia, effects of it consumption on human health and clinical studies related to stevia ingestion. Various medicinal properties of stevia leaves discussed in paper like anti-hyperglycemia, anti-oxidative, hypotensive, nephro-protective, hepato protective, antibacterial and antifungal. Basic purpose of this review to understand the medicinal potential of stevia and its acceptance as a significant raw material for human diet.
