Abstract
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. (Syn. Emblica officinalis Gaertn.), has been used to cure many ailments of human beings. Literature survey demonstrates that it has many pharmacological activities i.e. antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-microbial, antifungal, antiallergic, antiviral, and anticancer properties. The present study aimed to identify the novel plant-derived antidiabetic compounds from P. emblica to understand the molecular basis of antidiabetic activities. Text mining analysis of P. emblica and its disease association was carried out using server DLAD4U. Due to the highest score of P. emblica with diabetes, the virtual screening of a phytochemical library of P. emblica against three targets of diabetes was carried out. After that FAF-Drug4, admetSAR and DruLiTo servers were used for drug-likeness prediction. Additionally, pharmacophore modeling was also carried out to understand the antidiabetic activity of screened compounds. The docking scores, drug-likeness and pharmacophore studies found that Ellagic acid, Estradiol, Sesamine, Kaempferol, Zeatin, Quercetin, and Leucodelphinidin are potential antidiabetic compounds. Our study shows that phytochemicals of P. emblica are very potential antidiabetic candidates. Using the modern techniques these molecules could be used to develop an effective antidiabetic drugs from a natural resource.
