Abstract

Objective: To assess the anti-diabetic activity of Lasterpitium latifolium L extract through computational docking studies.

Methods: Crude extract of Lasterpitium latifolium L whole plant was obtained using a rotary evaporator. The extract was analyzed for bioactive compounds using Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The extract was examined for their anti-diabetic effects through computational docking studies and in‑vitro. For docking studies, proteins of diabetes mellitus, α-amylase and α-glucosidase, were selected from the literature.

Results: Binding affinity assessed by score function identified 2,4-Thiazolidinedione, 5- [[4-(4-pyridinyl)-6- quinolinyl] methylene] -(5Z)- (highest docking score of -7.8 kcal/mol) and cycloartenol acetate (docking score of -7.5kcal/mol) are the most promising compounds that showed strong affinity to target proteins of diabetes mellitus. These compounds have the highest docking scores, suggesting that they are potential candidates for anti-diabetic drug development. Extract of L. latifolium exhibited 68.1% potent activity at 250 μg/mL.

Conclusion: In the anti-diabetic potential of crude extracts, multiple pancreatic and extra pancreatic mechanisms may occur synergistically to achieve a strong anti-diabetic effect.
