Diabetic mellitus is a chronic condition that is diagnosed by a blood test and requires life long management (American Diabetic association, 2002). The more patients understand about the disease the better they are enabled to make good decisions on its management. Dietary therapy and exercise are critical both in preventing and managing diabetic mellitus and the results of the diabetic prevention program research group indicate that changes in life style reduced the incidence of diabetic by 58% (Knowler et al., 2002). In type 1 diabetic mellitus, where there is an absolute deficiency of insulin replacement forms a major component of treatment. In type 2 diabetic mellitus, insulin release from the pancreas is altered and may also be absolutely deficient in amount, and therefore its replacement also plays a part in management, especially when diabetic mellitus has been present for a long time. As the number of people with diabetes multiply world wide, the disease takes an ever-increasing proportion of national and international health care budgets. It is projected to become one of the world's main disablers within the next 25 years. It is very popularly known in medical history as "silent killer". Regions with greatest potential are Asia and Africa, where diabetes mellitus rates could rise to two to three-folds than the present rates. Apart from currently available therapeutic options, many herbal medicines have been recommended for the treatment of diabetes and diabetic related diseases (Sabu and Kuttan, 2002; Zhang and Tan 2000; Chitra et.al., 1998; Padma et.al., 2000; Osadebe et.al., 2004; Obatomei et.al., 1994; Oojewole and Adewunni 2004). Plant medicines are used throughout the world for a range of diabetic presentations. The development of scientifically validated models of alloxan induced- diabetic is vital to the analysis of the functional consequences of pancreatic damage and to testing the recovery efficacy of potentially therapeutic drugs. The role of medicinal plants in increasing the secretion of insulin and acting as an anti-diabetic formulation in the form of tablet is still much underestimated. The retrieval hypothesis postulates the alloxan agents disrupt the pancreas function as the effect of alloxan agents diminish over time by the treatment of our present herbal formulation investigation resulted in the reappearance of normal functioning of pancreas. Drugs like glibenclamide, penformin-containing substances which has a stimulant activity on diabetic. Accordingly, studies shown that the herbal formulation having the property of improving the functioning of pancreas by alloxan induced diabetic and used in treatment of diabetic as a tablet and acting as a strong anti-diabetic formulation. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the present invention is to provide a novel herbal combination in dosage form used as a anti-diabetic tablet, injection and formulation. Another objective of the present invention is to prepare herbal dosage form that improves in the treatment of diabetic mellitus.
Yet another object of the present invention is to prepare herbal dosage from in the form of tablet for easy consumption.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly the present invention provides an herbal formulation useful in the treatment of herbal dosage form from the soya bean milk used as a anti-diabetic. The herbal formulation comprising of Glycine max active fraction containing 7 S globulin fraction extract, Zingiber officinalis (rhizome) and curcumin (a phenolic antioxidant). Glycine max (Soya bean) protein varies from light cream to white in colour. It is used as nourishing food. It was shown that it produce a significant improvement in general ability and behavioural pattern.
Glycine max Family: Leguminosae
Botanical description: An annual with erect or climbing stem reach a height of one half to six feet, densely clothed with leaves trifoliate, ovate-lanceolate, inconspicuous, borne on auxiliary racemes, white or purple to red purple, normally self pollinated; pods 3cm long in clusters of 3-5, densely hairy containing 3-4 seeds elliptical with hilum, compressed, yellow, choclate or black. Soyabean is a native of south-eastern Asia is considered, on the basis of genetical have originated from slender, prostste plan. Soyabean is an important legume crop in Far East.
Medicinal uses: Soyabean ranks high among the leguminous crops of the world. It is grown mainly as a food crop of the world. It is grown mainly as a food crop in China, Japan and other country of East Asia. The seeds are consumed green, dry or sprouted, whole or split. The green seed are used as vegetable; roasted and salted seeds are used in cakes and candies. The seeds are ground in to flour and used for bakery products. The fatty oil extracted from the seed is used for the industrial purposes. The soya been used as a whole been, or processed as a soya milk, tofu, tempesh, soya sauce. The increasing popularly of soya food in mainly used in prevention of chronic diseases continues to be a top priority for scientist around the world. Even the FDA has conformed that the food containing the soya protein may reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases. There has been increasing interest of soya been as an antioxidant effect (Wealth of India, 1992). Phytochemistry: Soya been seeds contain protein 29.6-50.3, fat 13.5-24.2, fiber 2.84- 2.67, carbohydrate 14.07-23.88. The decorticated bean contains about 12 % polysaccharides. It contains higher % of proteins than many other foodstuffs. Chief protein is a globulin, glycinine that accounts for 80-90% of the total protein of the seed. Besides the true proteins, it contains the following nitrogenous substances like adenine; arginine, glycine etc and total non-protein nitrogen varies from 2.8-6.8% of the total nitrogen. The average mineral composition of mature soya been is as Fe, K, Zn, I etc. it is a good source of beta amylase. It contains variety of pigments, isoflavones, glycosides etc. Pharmacology: In human metabolism experiments soya been proteins comparable to other pulse protein, biological values digestibility coefficient. Soya been is valued in special diet and as an aid in reliving acidosis. The increasing popularly of soya food in mainly used in prevention of chronic diseases continues to be a top priority for scientist around the world. Even the FDA has conformed that the food containing the soya protein may reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases. Their has been increasing interest of soya been as an antioxidant effect and the particular the isoflavones. (Wealth of India, 1992) CURCUMA LONGA Family: Zingiberaceae
Botanical description: The genus Curcuma comprising about fifty species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, belongs to the tribe Hedychieae and consists of a rather homogenous group of rhizomatous perennials. Govindarajan (1980 Food Science and Nutrition, 14: 119-301 and 1982 Food Science and Nutrition, 17:1-258) published critical reviews on turmeric C. longa. The taxonomic status of Curcuma heyneana was discussed by Firman et al (1988 Phytochem. 27: 3887-3891) based on essential oil analysis. Tomlinson's (1969) work based on the anatomical evidence, which has much relevance in the classification of the order Zingiberales.
Medicinal uses: Ethnobotanical details of some of the species of Curcuma has been reviewed and it was found that Curcuma is useful in the treatment of liver disorders and has a promising kind of broad spectrum hepatoprotective agent which is used in Indonesia (Lin et ah, American J. Chin. Med., 1995 23:243-254). Curcuma longa was used predominantly for endoparasites, internal and external injuries and pregnancy related conditions in ethnic community of Trinidad and Tobago. Curcuma longa is used as dietary intake in Nepal (Eigner and Scholz, / Ethnopharmacol 1999, 67(1): 1-6). Phytochemistry: Essential oils are complex mixtures of odorous and steam- volatile compounds that are deposited in the subcuticular space of glandular hair, cell organelle, idioblasts, excretory cavities and canals or exceptionally in heartwoods. In other words, they are very complex, aromatic, volatile mixture containing many different compounds. The constituents of essential oils belong to numerous classes of chemical substances, such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, oxides and ether (Thappa et al, J. Essent. Oil Res., 1982, 11: 97-103). Essential oils largely comprises of terpenoid compounds, which constitute two or more isoprene units. Based on this, terpenoids are mainly classified into four groups viz. monoterpenes (with 2 isoprene units i.e. 10 carbon atoms) sesquiterpenes (with 15 carbon atoms), diterpenes (with 4 isoprine units i.e. 20 carbon atoms) and polyterpenes (with 5 or more isoprene units). These terpenoid compounds provide aroma and pungency to plants. The essential oil forms the basic raw materials for perfume and flavour making industries. They are also used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Many natural essential oils are used in aromatherapy to cure and prevent illness due to their therapeutic properties and also because of their fragrance which can influence human thoughts and emotions. Many of the essential oils are reported to have antimicrobial, insect repellent and insecticidal properties.
Pharmacological use: The genus Curcuma exhibits diverse pharmacological activities against cancer and tumorgensis. Anto et al, Mutation Res., 1996, 370:127- 131, has reported the anticancer and antitumour properties of Curcuma longa. It was demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of curcumin on DNA and RNA synthesis in cultured HeLa cells. Dietary curcumin may inhibit azoxymethanol (40 M) induced colonic neoplasia in mice (Huang et al., Cancer Lett 1992, 64(2):117-21). The antimicrobial properties are well known and the result reported by many researchers pointed out the antibiotic activities of Curcuma. Banerjee and Nigam (J. Res. Ind. Med. Yoga Homoeo., 1978, 13: 63-70) reported the antibacterial and antifungal activity of various species of Curcuma. Molluscicidal property of C. longa was reported. The insecticidal property of different species of Curcuma. Curcumin showed anti-inflammatory effect in acute, subacute and chronic models of inflammation in mice and rat models. The oral ED50 in mice, against carrageenin-induced acute oedema was 100.2 mg/kg compared to 78 mg/kg of cortisone. Clinically curcumin did not produce any side effect up to 1600mg/kg/day for 4 weeks in phase-I trials in male volunteers. Phase-II clinical trials have been conducted in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Curcumin inhibited rat liver microsomal delta 5 and delta 6 denaturizes (Shimizu et ah, Lipids 1992, 27(7):509-12). Curcuma contains an active principle(s) other than curcuminoid, which can modify the metabolism of lipid and lipoproteins. Several reports suggest that curcumin as well as turmeric increase bile flow. Essential oils of turmeric have also been found to increase the bile flow. However, some investigators have found it to be ulcerogenic (Prasad et al. J. Physiol. Pharmocol, 1976, 20, 92). The gastric secretion was found to be reduced after 3 h in conscious rabbits by aqueous and methanolic extracts of turmeric (Sakai et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1989, 37, 215). Curcumin and turmeric have been shown to protect liver against a variety of toxicants in vitro as well as in vivo. They include carbon tetrachloride, aflatoxin B-I, paracetamol iron, and cyclophosphamide in mouse, rat and duckling. Evidence for the hypocholesterolemic and hypolipidemic activities of curcumin has been provided when it was fed with diet to rats for 7 weeks at the concentration of 0.15% (Rao et al. 1970 /. Nutή. 100, 1307). Ethanolic extract of C. longa has been shown to have hypoglycemic activity in normal as well as alloxan - induced diabeties in rats. They have also isolated a lipopoly saccharide from the root of Curcumin, which is similar to bacterial lipopolysaccharides and is immunostimulant (Inagawa et al. Chem Pharm Bull 1992, 40, 1994). The wound healing property of turmeric was investigated long back and its local application was found to be effective (Gujral et al., /. Ind. Med. Association 22, 2731958). A sum of approximately 26 compounds has been isolated from different Curcuma sp. having high antioxidant activity. Curcumin did not produce any toxicity either on single administration or on repeated oral administration over a period of 6 months in rat and monkey at doses up to 800 and 1800-mg/kg day, respectively. Curcumin administered orally to patients suffering from chronic antieri or ureitis (CAU) at a dose of 375 mg three times a day for 12 weeks and all the patients who received curcumin alone improved (LaI et al, Phytother Res 13(4): 318-22, 1999). Zingiber officinale Linn. Family: Zingiberaceae
Botanical description: An herbaceous rhizomatous perennial, reaching up to 90 cm in height under cultivation. Rhizomes are aromatic, thick lobed, pale yellowish, bearing simple alternate distiches narrow oblong lanceolate leaves. The herb develops several lateral shoots in clumps, which begin to dry when the plant matures. Leaves are long and 2-3 cm broad with sheathing bases, the blade gradually tapering to a point. Inflorescence solitary, lateral, radical, pendiculate oblong-cylindrical spikes. Flowers are rare, rather small, calyx superior, gamosepalous, three toothed; open splitting on one side, and corolla of three-sub equal oblong to lanceolate connate greenish segments. (The Wealth of India, NISCOM, D-23, C.S.I.R., New Delhi 1996). Medicinal use: Ginger is carminative, pungent, stimulant, used widely for indigestion. It is chiefly used to cure diseases due to morbidity of kapha and vata. Ginger with limejuice and rock salt increases appetite and stimulates the secretion of gastric juices. It is said to be used for chronic bronchitis, cold, chest congestion, and cough, difficulty in breathing, dropsy, sore throat, throat ache, stomachache, vomiting and rheumatism. Zinger forms an important constituent of many pharmacopoeal ayurvedic formulations. (Misra B, Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, 5th ed., 1969, p. 14.; Sharma P, Dravyaguna vigyan, part 2, Chauukhamba Publications 1993, p. 331; Indian medicinal plant, a compendium of 500 sps., Part 5, orient Longman Publication, 1997, p. 431; Nadkarni, Indian Materia Medica, vol. 1, 1993, p. 1308; Yogaratnakra, Chauukhamba Publications 1993, p. 320-330; Bhavaprakasha with Vaidyotina commentary by Misra BS; Chikitsa Prakarana Madhyana Khadana- Chauukhamba Publications 1980, p. 683-701). Phytochemistry: Ginger has been reported to contain usually 1-3 % of volatile oil, pungent principles, viz. gingerols and shogaols and about 6-8 lipids and others. Ginger oil contains zingiberene and bisaboline as major constituents along with other sesqui and mono terpines. Ginger oleoresin contains mainly the pungent principles gingerols and shogaols as well as zingeberine. Shogaols have recently been found twice as pungent as gingerols. (Kiuchi F, et. al., Chem. Pharm. Bull, 1982, 30, 754; waigner H, et al., Plant drug analysis, springer, 1996, 300; Akhila A and Tewari CROMAP, 1984, 6(3), 143-146).
Pharmacology: It is used for common cold, due to pathogenic wind cold, characterized by severe intolerance to cold, slight fever, headache, general ache, congestion and running nose. Antihistaminic activity has been studied in ginger. Zingiber officinale was indicated in allergic conditions in traditional text. However they were following crude methods. Toyoda J, Chem.
