ANTI-DIABETIC AND ALDOSE REDUCTASE INHIBITORY POTENTIAL OF PSIDIUM GUAJAVA BY IN VITRO ANALYSIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine the cellular level effect on glucose uptake and aldose reductase inhibitory activity of different extracts of traditional medicinal plant Psidium guajava.Methods: Psidium guajava was selected and subjected for successive extraction from non-polar to polar solvents and subjected to glucose uptake and aldose reductase inhibition assay.Results: Based on the results Psidium guajava methanolic extract (PGME) showed an enhancement in the glucose uptake and also up-regulates the gene and protein level expression of IRβ, IRS-1, PI3K and GLUT4. Wortmannin, a specific PI3K inhibitor confirms that the active PGME recruits glucose uptake through a PI3K dependent pathway. In the assay of aldose reductase inhibitory activity, the results suggested that PGME possesses a significant inhibitory effect.Conclusion: The result obtained in the present study focuses on the anti-diabetic effect of PGME by studying cellular level glucose uptake in L6 myotubes and aldose reductase inhibitory activity.
