GeoBotanical: Chamaecostus cuspidatus

1.

From Flora to Pharmaceuticals: 100 new additions to angiosperms of Gafargaon subdistrict in Bangladesh and unraveling antidiabetic drug candidates targeting DPP4 through in silico approach.

Summary

Researchers identified 100 new angiosperm species in Gafargaon, Bangladesh, including Chamaecostus cuspidatus with potential for antidiabetic drug development. Virtual screening revealed two lead compounds with promising properties. Study enriches biodiversity knowledge and may lead to new diabetes treatments.
