Abstract
Background: Gymnema sylvestre is traditionally used to treat diabetes in Asia.Materials and methods: GA-I and GA-II were docked to PTP 1B. Nanoparticles were produced using centrifugation green synthesis.Results: Blood glucose levels significantly decreased (p less than 0.001) at a dose of 200 mg/kg of GA-I mediated AgNPs.Conclusion: GA-I mediated AgNPs can be exploited as prospective nanomedicine for type-2 diabetes.
Keywords: Gymnemic Acid-I; Molecular docking; PTP 1B
