Resveratrol (3,5,4-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a stilbenoid, a natural polyphenolic compound produced by a wide variety of plant sources. It has interesting functions and works as antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, cardioprotector, neuroprotector, cell cycle inhibitor, and obesity and diabetics preventive. The food sources of resveratrol include the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, lingonberry, and senna. The richest natural source of resveratrol is dark grapes and consequently the wines that are produced from these grapes.

The widespread growth of a Gnetum gnemonoides species can be found across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, including New Guinea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. It is reported to contain stilbenoids, which exhibit biological qualities as antibacterial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and enzyme inhibitory action. Bronchitis, asthma, and arthritis have all been treated with this species as a kind of traditional medicine [68]. Gnetum gnemonoides include several stilbenoids that have been isolated, resveratrol, oxyresveratrol, piceatannol, and isorhapontigenin have been shown SGLT inhibitory activity. Gneyulins A and B, two stilbene trimmers made up of oxyresveratrol constituent units, demonstrated modest inhibitory activity against SGLT1 and SGLT2, whereas Noidesols A and B, two dihydroflavonol-C-glucosides, had no SGLT inhibitory potential [12].
