Andrographis paniculata (Burm.F.) in-silico analysis compounds that function as an insulin sensitizer therapy for type 2 diabetes via peroxisome proliferator activated gamma receptors (PPAR y) receptor activator
Abstract
This study examines the following compounds found in Andrographis paniculata: 5-Hydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavone, Cinnamic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Caffeic Acid, Apigenin 7,4'-dimethyl ether, 5. 4-Dihidroxy-7,8,2',3'-tetramethoxyflavone, 5-Hydroxy-3,7,8,2' tetramethoxyflavone, and 5-Hydroxy-7,2',6'-trimethoxyflavone all have mild anti-diabetic effects. Analyses are conducted to determine which susceptible individuals have the best activity as Insulin Sensitizers for type 2 diabetes when compared to pioglitazon. The research is conducted using CambridgeSoft's ChemDraw Ultra 22.2.0 3300.2023 (Perkin Elmer) and Chem3D Ultra 22. 2.0 3300. 2023 (Perkin Elmer) software. Docking program for activity prediction using Molegro Virtual Docker 2013.6.0.0 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR) code PDB: 5Y2O used. When compared to pioglitazone, 5,4'-Dihidroxy-7,8,2', and 3'-tetramethoxyflavone is predicted to have good anti-diabetic properties.
