Comprehensive Metabolomic and Bioactivity Profiling of Zingiberaceae Species From Manipur: Elucidating Antidiabetic and Antioxidant Mechanisms Through In Vitro and In Silico Approaches.

Introduction: The Zingiberaceae family is well known for its therapeutic characteristics, notably its antidiabetic and antioxidant potential, which may be linked to its diverse bioactive metabolite composition. Despite widespread usage in traditional medicine, there has been little research on the chemical composition and biological activity of Zingiberaceae plants from Manipur, India.

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively profile metabolites and evaluate the antidiabetic and antioxidant properties of seven Zingiberaceae species through in vitro assays and in silico molecular docking analysis.

Bioeconomy and ethnopharmacology - Translational perspective and sustainability of the bioresources of northeast region of India.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The ecological environment of Northeast region of India (NER), with its high humidity, has resulted in greater speciation and genetic diversity of plant, animal, and microbial species. This region is not only rich in ethnic and cultural diversity, but it is also a major biodiversity hotspot. The sustainable use of these bioresources can contribute to the region's bioeconomic development.
