PLANTS WITH ANTIDAIBETIC ACTIVITY: AN IN-SILICO BASED STUDY Authors: Jalwal P , BALRAM, PANDEY P AND SINGH G
ABSTRACT
From ancient times, plants as drugs have been used for different type of disease and disorder or
any illness. Raw plant or its formulations were used in different medicinal systems. The
phytoconsitituents present in the plants play imperative role in the treatment. Plants extract and
formulations supposed to be having few or no side effects. About 800 plants may possess antidiabetic
potential. Diabetes is an epidemic disorder spread worldwide. It is estimated that
number of patient increase day by day globally. By 2025 it may be cross the number 300 million
as per WHO. Currently used drugs for the treatment of diabetes causes several adverse effects. It
is the time of challenge and opportunity for the scientist to develop such drugs that has minimum
side effects with max efficacy. So the further advance in the development of new drugs becomes
the need of future. Now a day’s many scientific approaches like molecular docking utilise in the
development drug discovery field. It is an emerging tool now days. This technique utilizes some
scoring function for the prediction of binding affinity between two molecules. Phytoconstituents
studied with different type of programme for their affinity for particular target/ protein provides
great knowledge about the efficacy of molecule. In the present review it is concluded that
querecetin, Sitosterol, Stigmasterol, Catechin hydrate, Epigallocatechin, Rutin, Betulin and
lupeol shows good binding affinity towards ?-Amylase and ?-Glucosidase.
