Corosolic acid is a substance extracted from Lagerstroemia speciosa L. and has been reported to have biological activities in in vitro and experimental animal studies, particularly due to its influence on blood sugar. Thus, it may have an influence on diabetes. Corosolic acid is found in many plants, particularly banaba, but also in almond hulls, Weigela subsessilis, Perilla frutescens, Campsis grandiflora and other herbs. 



Corosolic acid is an organic compound that is classified as a triterpene because its molecular scaffold contains 30 carbon atoms. It occurs naturally in the leaves of a deciduous tree called Crepe Myrtle that flourishes in tropical climates. Scientists have studied the pharmacological activity of corosolic acid and found that it has antidiabetic activity in humans. Cell culture experiments have indicated other potential biological activities
