Diabetes Studies

A discovery of potent kaempferol derivatives as multi-target medicines against diabetes as well as bacterial infections: an in silico approach.

Researchers collected data on 50 derivatives of kaempferol, a flavonoid found in plants, and performed a 3D-QSAR study. They found that certain derivatives showed potential as anti-diabetic and antibacterial agents. The compounds could be used for drug discovery.

Anti-diabetic drug discovery using the bioactive compounds of Momordica charantia by molecular docking and molecular dynamics analysis.

Researchers conducted virtual screenings and molecular dynamics investigations to discover natural inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidases for diabetes management. Rutin from the MC plant exhibited the highest binding affinity and could potentially be an effective therapeutic agent for diabetes. Further research is needed to validate its efficacy.

In vitro inhibition of biofilm and virulence factor production in azole-resistant strains of Candida albicans isolated from diabetic foot by Artemisia vulgaris stabilized tin (IV) oxide nanoparticles.

SnO nanoparticles using Artemisia vulgaris as a stabilizing agent inhibit biofilm formation in drug-resistant Candida albicans strains, potentially treating biofilm-related diabetic foot ulcers. They aid in wound healing.

Evaluation of the biological efficiency of Terminalia chebula fruit extract against neurochemical changes induced in brain of diabetic rats: an epigenetic study.

The study found that the ethanolic Terminalia chebula extract reduced oxidative stress, improved brain integrity, and decreased abnormal changes in the brains of diabetic rats. This suggests that T. chebula extract could potentially be beneficial for the treatment of diabetes-related neuroinflammation.
