Abstract
Synthesis, characterisation, and anti-diabetic potential of swertiamarin analogues against DPP-4 enzymatic inhibition was done prior to this study. However, swertiamarin and its analogues inhibited DPP-4 enzyme significantly. Semisynthetic swertiamarin analogues have been studied for antidiabetic potential and mechanism of action utilising molecular docking and in-vitro techniques. The mechanism of action for swertiamarin analogues was determined by in-silico molecular docking studies using glucose-transporters, GLUT-1 (PDB ID: 4PYP), GLUT-3 (PDB ID: 7SPS), and GLUT-4 (PDB ID: 7WSM) along with in-vitro glucose uptake and glucose-induced insulin secretion assays. These studies found that synthesised swertiamarin analogues SNIPERSV3, SNIPERSV4, and SNIPERSV7 shown better docking score against different GLUTs and better anti-diabetic effects on glucose uptake and insulin secretion in NIT-1 cell line than standard glibenclamide and swertiamarin. Thus, swertiamarin analogues might be studied for diabetes therapy in the future.
