Plant-Derived Bioactive Peptides: A Treatment to Cure Diabetes 2019-07-22 .txt text/plain 7634 439 48 In this review, we will discuss the identified plant-based bioactive proteins and peptides and the in vitro, in vivo results for the treatment of diabetes. Till date, plant secondary metabolites, mainly small molecules are the established source of new drugs to treat various diseases (Verpoorte 1998) , however, advancement in analytical technique, sophisticated purification methodology and in vitro assay system pointed out the researchers Fig. 1 Uses of therapeutic peptides and proteins in various disease conditions (Loganathan 2016) 1 3 to look beyond the small molecules. Many peptides are reported from different plants for the treatment of diabetes as shown in Tables 2 and 3 through various known targets such as (a) Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (b) Alpha-amylase inhibitors (c) Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors (d) Inhibitors of the glucose transporter system (e) Insulin mimetics Plant-derived bioactive peptides inhibit the enzymes like alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amylase, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV and glucose transporter systems involved in type 2 diabetes. ./cache/cord-011184-ohdukhqt.txt ./txt/cord-011184-ohdukhqt.txt
