Treatment of type 2 diabetes without any side effects is still a challenge to the medical system. This leads to increasing demand for natural products with antidiabetic activity with fewer side effects. Syzygium cumini is a traditional herbal medicinal plant and is reported to possess a variety of pharmacological actions. It contains various types of chemical constituents including terpenoids, tannins, anthocyanins, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds. Some flavonoids and other phenolic compounds from S. cumini were reported in literature to have type 2 antidiabetic potential. The main objective of the current investigation was in silico screening of some phenolic compounds from S. cumini against multiple targets associated with type 2 diabetes to explore the mechanism of antidiabetic action and prediction of binding mode using molecular docking studies. In silico docking studies were performed for the selected molecules in the binding site of multiple targets associated with type 2 diabetes (α-glucosidas , dipeptidyl peptidase 4, glycogen synthase kinase 3, glucokinase and glucagon receptor). Amongst the compounds tested in silico, rutin showed appreciable binding with multiple targets of type 2 diabetes including α-glucosidase, dipeptidyl peptidase 4, glycogen synthase kinase 3, and glucagon receptor. Catechin was found to inhibit both α-glucosidase, and dipeptidyl peptidase 4. This information can be utilized for the design and development of potent multi-functional candidate drugs with minimal side effects for type 2 diabetes therapeuticsa.

Diabetes is a progressive disease that manifests itself in hyperglycemia and is associated with macro- and microvascular complications. Stepwise approach to glucose-lowering therapy is now often questioned for two main reasons. First, the decision on intensifying the treatment requires the decompensation of carbohydrate metabolism. Second, this conception does not always meet the criteria of pathophysiological treatment, in particular, in patients who are newly diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and recommended with metformin monotherapy. The combination of metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors is a well-known strategy that effectively controls blood glucose level and preserves beta cell functions. VERIFY study has demonstrated that after a 5-year follow-up, median time to type 2 diabetes decompensation is 36.1 months in metformin group and 61.9 months in early combined treatment group (metformin plus vildagliptin) (p<0.0001). These findings can account for paradigm shift in treatment prescription for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in patients with HbA1c less than 1,0% of the target level.KEYWORDS: diabetes, glucose-lowering therapy, control of glycemia, combined treatment.FOR CITATION: Demidova T.Yu., Kozhevnikov A.A.

Diabetes is a comorbidity associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19. Gliptins are anti-diabetic drugs that inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) and they have been proposed as a possible treatment for COVID-19 patients with and without diabetes due to their immunomodulatory properties. Oxytocin has also been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 due to its immunomodulatory properties as well as other mechanisms. In addition, oxytocin has been identified as a natural DPP4 inhibitor. Therefore, oxytocin not only has the properties associated with DPP4 inhibition but it has numerous additional beneficial properties. It is proposed that oxytocin may be superior to DPP4 inhibitors for COVID-19 patients especially for patients with type 2 diabetes. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2020-02-SI-10 Full Text: PDF
