The cloud forest (CF), a hugely biodiverse ecosystem, is hotspot of unexplored plants with potential for discovering pharmacologically active compounds. Without sufficient ethnopharmacological information, developing strategies rationally selecting experimental studies crucial. With this goal, CF metabolites library was created, and ligand-based virtual screening conducted to identify molecules hypoglycemic activity. From the most promising botanical families, were collected, methanolic extracts prepared, activity evaluated through in vitro enzyme inhibition assays on α-amylase, α-glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). Metabolomic analyses performed dominant species best inhibitory profile, their affinity molecular targets using ensemble docking. This strategy led identification twelve (in four families)
