IN-SILICO SCREENING OF LEAD COMPOUNDS FOR DIABETES MELLITUS FROM NATURAL SOURCES

Abstract
Aloevera barbadensis is commonly called Ghrit Kumari, belongs to the family Liliaceae. It is the oldest traditional plant used against hyperglycemia. The phyto-compounds isolated from aloe Vera was used against receptors, which are responsible for the high level of glucose in the blood.Through Insilico screening of lead compounds, the ligands were used against the receptors responsible for causing the high level of glucose in the blood. The human protein targets were obtained from the protein data bank. The target proteins were docked with isolated phytochemicals. As a result, docking scores are obtained which show the protein-ligand affinity. Greater affinity or negative value shows that the ligands are effective against the receptors responsible for causing diabetes Bioinformatics has extended a helping hand through molecular docking for the drug candidate to identify and to dock with the protein targets related to various diseases. In silico approach of natural and synthetic compounds which act as both inhibitors or agonists towards protein targets related to diabetes mellitus such as 1es0, 1jb6, 2ati, 2rgu, 3w8g, 3ws3, 4ge6, 4wz8, 5g5j.
