Abstract
Abstract Background and Aims Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease affected a wide range of population all over the world and leads to development of secondary complications. Enzymes play key role in the development of secondary complication. Method The flavonoid rich fraction was prepared using ethyl acetate. Oral glucose tolerance test normoglycemic effect of flavonoid rich fraction of Hybanthus enneaspermus (EHE) was evaluated at a dose of 45 and 90 mg/kg, p.o. Further effect of EHE on blood glucose, body weight, enzymes such as super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and lipid parameters were estimated out at 45 and 90 mg/kg p.o. per day for 21 days in streptozotocin-induced type-2 diabetic rats. Molecular docking technique was also performed against Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase (Gpx), xanthine oxidase and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) for selected phytoconstituents. Results EHE contain significant amount of phenolic, tannin, flavonoid and saponin. EHE significantly decreased blood glucose level in diabetic rats. All the tested lipid parameters and enzyme level of SOD, Catalase and Gpx were significantly restored to the normal level in the EHE treated rats. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the body weight in the EHE treated rats. Docking study showed the best binding affinity and interaction of phytoconstituents with xanthine oxidase and NF-κB signified their role in kidney disorders. Conclusion EHE has very impressive profile as an antidiabetic, antioxidant and nephroprotective activity via enzymes modulation and it may prove to be effective treatment for kidney disorders in hyperglycemia.
