Many drug molecules comprises of benzo fused heterocycles with two nitrogen atoms, that is, benzimidazole and its derivatives. Many biological active molecules contain that 2-aminobenzimidazole cores are among the foremost common structural components in medicinal chemistry. 2-aminobenzimidazole and its derivative have wide range of biological and pharmaceutical activities. In this review, the authors summarize synthesis, various chemical reactions, and biological activities of 2-aminobenzimidazole and its derivative.
Objective
Insulin deficiency or malfunction leads to diabetes mellitus, a serious metabolic disorder. Once more, studies on the use of medicinal plants to treat diabetes are ongoing. Many common drugs have been made from prototypical substances derived from medicinal plants. Our work included in-silico testing of Manilkara hexandra phytoconstituents for anti-diabetic activity.
Design:
The pattern of interaction between the phytoconstituents from the Manilkara hexandra plant and the crystal structure of the antidiabetic proteins is evaluated using molecular docking in Discovery Studio (PDB ID: 3REE). Later, the toxicity and pharmacokinetic profile were screened using SwissADME and pkCSM.
Results
The docking data reveal that compared to the common medication metformin (-4.1 kcal/mol); quercetin (-7.1 kcal/mol), kaempferol (-7.1 kcal/mol), P-coumaric acid (-6.2 kcal/mol), and cinnamic acid (-6.0 kcal/mol) have the greatest binding affinity for mitoNEET for antidiabetic action. According to ADMET tests, pharmacokinetics and toxicity characteristics were also within acceptable bounds.
Conclusion
The binding potential of phytoconstituents with an eye on antidiabetic activities produced positive results. It provides vital information on clinical treatment and pharmacological research while advocating the use of Manilkara hexandra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
