Abstract Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the most prevalent form, is largely driven by obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, contributing to over 95% of diabetes cases worldwide. The current treatment regimens for T2DM, including Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, aim to enhance insulin secretion but are often associated with adverse side effects. This has intensified the search for natural, safer alternatives with comparable efficacy. Moringa oleifera, a highly valued plant with an extensive history in traditional medicine, has shown promising antidiabetic properties. This research explores the potential of Moringa oleifera-derived phytochemicals as natural DPP-4 inhibitors using in-silico molecular docking techniques. The study identifies and evaluates the binding affinities of these phytochemicals to the DPP-4 enzyme, aiming to predict their inhibitory potential and minimal side effects, thereby contributing to the development of novel, safer hypoglycemic drugs. The results indicate the compounds’ potential as effective DPP-4 inhibitors with promising hypoglycemic properties. Specifically, piceatannol exhibited the highest binding affinity of -7.9 kcal/mol, whereas vanillic acid had the lowest at -5.7 kcal/mol. This study underscores the potential of Moringa oleifera as a natural, safer alternative in the development of novel anti-diabetic drugs, contributing to the growing body of research on plant-based therapeutics for diabetes management.
