Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes mellitus (DM), specially type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is recognized as a serious public health concern with a considerable impact on human life and is referred to a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies along with serious complications. Despite of the presence of many antidiabetic drugs in the marke, there are invaluable pool of studies to discover biologically active lead compounds or even new therapeutic agents, the main reason for the continuous search for new antidiabetic drugs; is the common side effects.
The biggest challenge today in pre-clinical drug discovery is the identification of a drug candidate that is, effective with low cost production as well as non-toxic such as drugs derived from natural soures.
Papers focusing on these aspects of the treatment of diabetes mellitus with natural compounds are welcome.
