02 Constituent chemistry

Chemical classMarker compoundSynthetic analogue in use
Glucosinolates Moringin
Leaf, Seed
Metformin

The analogue column is what makes the interaction reasoning tractable: where a constituent has a marketed structural counterpart, the counterpart's interaction profile is the starting hypothesis for the plant.

04 Interaction matrix

Source column, verbatim: antidibetics
Normalised onto 0 canonical drug classes below.

No interaction edges recorded, and the constituent chemistry did not trigger any rule. That is an absence of data, not evidence of safety.

05 Hazard register

The audit recorded no hazard beyond the interaction profile. The controlled-vocabulary field reads not assessed, which means the assessment has not been done rather than that it came back clear.

06 Confusable material

No same-genus or shared-common-name entry in the corpus.

09 Isomechanistic neighbours

No overlapping interaction profile in the corpus.

10 References and notes

No citation is on record for this entry. That is itself the finding: the audit flagged it, and it is why the entry does not carry an A evidence grade.
