Abstract:
The therapeutics for type 2 diabetes mellitus has emerged in the current century towards nanomedicine incorporated with plant active compounds. In this study, Tinospora cordifolia loaded poly (D, L-lactide) (PLA) nanoparticles (NPs) were evaluated in vivo for their anti-hyperglycemic potency towards streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats. T. cordifolia loaded PLA NPs were synthesised by the double solvent evaporation method using PLA polymer. The NPs were then characterised and administrated orally for 28 successive days to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The PLA NPs had significant anti-diabetic effects which were equal to the existing anti-diabetic drug glibenclamide. The antidiabetic activity is due to the synergism of compounds present in stem extract of the plant which reduced the side effects and anti-diabetic.
