Abstract

Insulin resistance and poor secretion lead to the metabolic condition known as type 2 diabetes. One of the protein enzymes involved in the control of blood glucose levels is dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which is also known as adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2 (CD26) or glucagon like peptide -1 (GLP-1).While synthetic DPP-4 inhibitors are a powerful antidiabetic treatment for type 2 diabetes, they are still prohibitively costly and come with side effects. Herbal medicines are the rich source for diabetes treatment, in present investigation antidiabetic and DPP-4 inhibitory activity of aqueous and ethanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves and Momordica charantia fruits were investigated on dose levels of 200,400 and 600 mg/kg/day for 28 days. In the study we revealed thatassessment of blood glucose levels in diabetic rats following treatment with different plant extracts we uncovered was truly remarkable. The Aqueous Extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves (OSAE), Ethanolic Extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves (OSEE), Aqueous Extract of Momordica charantia fruits (MCAE), and Ethanolic Extract of Momordica charantia fruits (MCEE) all exhibited distinct, yet potent, antidiabetic activity on dose dependent manner. MCEE (159±6.00 mg/dL) was1.16 times more effective comparative to OSEE (186±3.00 mg/dL), combinations of extracts shown synergistic effect (133±3.00 mg/dL) on 28th day compared with control untreated group, and combination of OSEE&MCEE (P<0.0001)  and OSAE&MCAE(P<0.001) improved insulin levels  after treatment compared to the drug solution group. OSAE and MCAE have more inhibitory effect on DPP-4 level compared to OSEE and MCEE however combinations have lesser inhibitory effect.
