Antidiabetic Medicinal Plants Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Lupinus albus having Insulin Mimetic Properties and Investigation if Its Metabolites Profile Using GC-MS Technique
Abstract
Multiple countries include cinnamon bark and essential oil in their pharmacopoeias whereas the substances also function as food additives alongside condiments and flavoring agents supporting their role as carminatives and antioxidants and preservatives. The “white lupin” Lupinus albus grows across a wide range of the Mediterranean area. The Mediterranean region constitutes the entire planting area of this species. Lupin seeds just like legume seeds possess significant amounts of protein and minerals and dietary fibre content. Around the world diabetes mellitus exists as one of the major health implications that produces a severe long-term complex metabolic condition. The medical condition of diabetes mellitus identifies hyperglycemia through its effects on metabolic disturbances that affect carbohydrates and proteins and fats. We will use GC-MS technique to analyze the metabolites present in the plant. Evaluation of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Lupinus albus volatiles used GC-MS for separation and identification of their contents. The results showed that twenty individual volatile components were present trans-Cinnamaldehyde, Cyclohexane methylamine, Caryophyllene, 4-(1-Hydroxyethyl) benzaldehyde, naphthalene, cis, trans-1,5-Cyclodecadiene, Octahydrodimethyl-4,7-methano-1H-indenol, 2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde, coumarin, 3-Phenylpropan-1-ol, Terbenthene, alpha-Bisabolol for Cinnamomum zeylanicum. 2-Ethylhexan-1-ol, 2-hydroxy-5-propanamidobenzoic acid, 2-Methyloctan-3-one, beta-Myrcene, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-[2-(4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl) propan-2-yloxy] oxane-3,4,5-triol, Heptane, 2,3-dimethyl-, 2,3-Dimethylheptane, cis-beta-Ocimene in Lupinus albus. Research suggests that Cinnamomum zeylanicum along with Lupinus albus display quality as potential hypoglycaemic agents.
