Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects people of all ages. Increased prevalence of diabetes worldwide has led to the development of synthetic drugs to provide an interim solution to the ill effects of the issue. However, such drugs, although effective as antihyperglycemic agents, are accompanied by significant side effects, costly, and inaccessible to majority of people in remote in underdeveloped countries. Local medicinal plants have been used by such indigenous people through ages to treat such complicate ailments due to their ease of availability and GRAS nature. As diabetes continues to become prevalent, health care practitioners are considering PBNPs as a potential source of antidiabetic drugs due to their high potency and fewer side effects. To better understand the mechanism of action of medicinal plants, their active phytoconstituents are being isolated and investigated thoroughly. Phytochemical screening followed by GCMS analysis of methanolic leaf extracts of Costus igneus depicted the presence of 19 bioactive compounds viz., Bicyclo [3.1.1]heptane, 2,6,6- trimethyl-; 2-Pentadecanone, 6,10,14-trimethyl-; phthalic acid; 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen- 1-ol; 5,9,13-Pentadecatrien-2-one, 6,10,14- trimethyl; 2(3H)-Furanone,dihydro-5-methyl-5- pentyl; Hexamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22- tetracosahexaen-1-yl]-6-methox.; Oxalic acid, cyclohexyl isohexyl ester; 6-Octadecenoic acid; Phytol; 4,8,12,16-Tetramethylheptadecan-4- olide; 5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole; Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; Adamantane-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester; Benzopyran-6-ol,3,4-dihydro-; Benzoquinoline; gamma-Tocopherol; dimethyl-5,5'-diphenyl-1H,; 1H-benzo[b]furo[2,3-f]indole that may be ADMET predicted for potential biomedical application in the treatment of diabetics and long term complications associated with the disease.
