Development and Optimization of Polyherbal Formulations Using Proven Anti-Diabetic Medicinal Plants: Phytochemical Profiling and In Vivo Evaluation
Author(s): Abhilasha Gupta and Arun Sharma*
Diabetes mellitus is a long-term metabolic disease marked by sustained high blood sugar levels and related health problems. While synthetic anti-diabetic agents are effective, they often cause side effects and do not address multiple pathophysiological targets. Polyherbal formulations offer synergistic therapeutic benefits by combining bioactive compounds from different plants. However, the lack of optimized and standardized formulations limits their clinical use. To develop, optimize, and evaluate a polyherbal formulation containing proven anti-diabetic plants, followed by phytochemical profiling, in vivo efficacy testing, and quality standardization. Three medicinal plants with documented hypoglycemic activity—Gymnema sylvestre (plant leaves), Momordica charantia (plant fruits), and Trigonella foenum- graecum (plant seeds)—were selected, authenticated, and extracted usin..
