Phytochemical profiling and evaluation of the antidiabetic potential of Ichnocarpus frutescens (Krishna Sariva): kinetic study, molecular modelling, and free energy approach.

This research explored antidiabetic properties of a natural herb using enzyme assay and computational approaches. The herb demonstrated promising inhibitory activity against diabetes-related enzymes, with compounds showing better binding energy than a standard drug. The study suggests that the herb could be used as a medication for type 2 diabetes.
