Diabetes mellitus is a rising global health issue, necessitating effective and affordable treatments. This study aimed to develop marker-based quantification methods for using a DoE approach and conduct anti-diabetic screening of its phytoconstituents. Methanolic extracts of the plant underwent fractionation, with the chloroform fraction used for simultaneous HPLC quantification of Plumbagin and Juglone.

This study focuses on exploring the phytochemical constituents, in-silico, in-vitro antioxidant, and anticancer activities of Valerian wallichii root extracts on human cervical epithelial carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines. The molecular docking approach was employed to predict the ligand molecule's orientation within the receptor like Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase domain (PDB ID: 1M17) using Schrodinger's GLIDE model.
