Phenolic acid profiling and antiglycation studies of leaf and fruit extracts of tyrosine primed Momordica charantia seeds for possible treatment of diabetes mellitus.

: The increasing risk of variety of fatal diseases including diabetes mellitus is imposing serious challenge to chemist, biologists and clinicians. Due to the side effects of the chemotherapy, worldwide it is thinking that phyto-medicine are more effective to cope continuously increasing risk of fatal diseases without any side effect. Seed priming is a strategic pre-sowing semi-bioengineering technique which has ability to improve the growth rate and biologically active compounds in short time. Among seed priming techniques, tyrosine seed priming most frequently used because amino acids provide best growth media for nutritional food crops. Seeds of Momordica charantia were subjected to the pre-sowing tyrosine solution. Different growth parameters including growth emergence rate, seedling vigor, growth and weight of root, shoot and leaf were studied. The results showed positive effect on Momordica charantia seed growth and phenolic acids production i.e. ferulic acid - 43.95 ppm and sinapic acid - 18.39 ppm. The antiglycation assay showed 23.45±1.23% antiglycation activity of primed-seed fruit extract as compare to control seed fruit extract (0.87±0.03%). On the basis of the results, it is concluded that tyrosine primed seed fruit extract could effectively be further tested for pre-clinical and clinical studies to manage diabetes mellitus disease.
