Indian Medicinal Plants

Diabetes Mellitus is the most prevalent metabolic disorder which has made it a major health threat worldwide. The available synthetic drugs for the cure of Diabetes mellitus are associated with high cost, various side effects and several limitations. Medicinal plants are the rich depots of the phytochemicals which can be useful for the treatment of chronic disorders. These plants are the better alternative to chemical drugs causing less or no harm to the body. Several plants are traditionally known for their antidiabetic properties but the detail investigation of their active molecules is required in order to be developed as therapeutic drug. Therefore, the present review aims to provide comprehensive information on various Indian medicinal plants, their constituents and mechanism of action for the cure of diabetes mellitus.

Common Target

Purpose. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, action or both. The use of medicinal plants for the treatment of diabetes mellitus dates back from the Ebers papyrus of about 1550 B.C. One of the major problems with herbal drugs is that the active ingredients are not well defined. It is important to know the active components and their molecular interactions which will help to analyze their therapeutic efficacy and also to standardize the product. There are a number of medicinal plants known for their anti-diabetic effect that possess similarities in their active chemical components, e.g. iridoid and secoiridoid glycosides. Methods. In this study, we have compared the structure of various iridoid and secoiridoid glycosides to design a novel pharmacophore. We further developed a structure-activity relationship for the inhibition of glycogen phosphorylase-a. Conclusion. By using docking studies, we are proposing, for the first time, that inhibition of glycogen phosphorylase-a activity is a common target for iridoids and secoiridoids to elicit anti-diabetic effects. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Inadequate control of blood sugar has significant consequences for well-being. Ayurveda and other Indian writing referenced the utilized of plants in the treatment of different diseases. Medicinal plant with antidiabetic potential has been recent area of research. The efficiency of these medicinal plants may regulate the diabetic metabolic abnormalities. This work would help researchers to choose potential herbal for diabetic treatment.

High Blood Glucose

Diabetes mellitus is a growing global health problem. Reports predicted that diabetes mellitus could reach a pandemic level affecting people in both developing and developed countries. According to the World Health Organization, high blood glucose is seen as the third highest risk factor for premature mortality in diabetics. For several thousands of years before the adventure of orthodox medications, human beings have been using medicinal plants in the treatment of various disease conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, infertility, bacterial, viral infections, and diabetes mellitus. The beneficial effects of selected medicinal therapies in the treatment and management of diabetes and diabetic complications have been reported. Many medicinal plants across Africa and Asia are known for their rich phytochemicals with effective components that have been observed to effectively reduce high blood glucose either in diabetic persons or diabetes-induced animals. The motivation for the use of medicinal plants includes availability, affordability, knowledge, effectiveness, and safety and some are of the opinion that medicinal plants and their derivatives could be effective and safe alternative treatment for diabetes and diabetic complications. Nicotiana tabacum is one of those plants with antidiabetic and pharmacological potentials which could benefit humans and animals if appropriately utilized; however, less attention has been focused on its antidiabetic properties. In fact, there is a paucity of information on the antidiabetic activities of N. tabacum. Therefore, this paper examines the antidiabetic and other biological activities of N. tabacum.
