Objective: The objective of the present work is to perfom in silico docking analysis against the molecular targets involved in diabetes mellitus using active compounds from Polyherbal powder. Materials and methods: Polyherbal powder is prepared using Gymnema sylvestre, Ocimum sanctum and Azadirachta indica. Three compounds from the polyherbal powder (identified using HR-LCMS) were used for the docking against the targets (α-glucosidase, α amylase, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma). Docking was performed using Autodock 4.2 software. Pymol was used for the visualization of the docking result files. Results: Binding energy of Usnic acid (-4.25 kcal/mol for 1PRG, -6.69 kcal/mol for 3WY1, -5.72 kcal/mol for 4GQQ) was low as that of standard drug Metformin (-5.07 kcal/mol for 1PRG, -6.3 kcal/mol for 3WY1, -4.02 kcal/mol for 4GQQ). Conclusion: The polyherbal powder containing the lead compounds can be used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
