Palmatine a protoberberine alkaloid has been previously reported to possess in vivo antidiabetic and antioxidant property. The aim of the experiment is to evaluate the in vitro antidiabetic activity and in-silico studies of the binding energies of Palmatine, acarbose, and Sitagliptin with the three enzymes of alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV). The in vitro antidiabetic study was done by evaluating the inhibitory effect of palmatine on the activities of alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and DPP-IV. Acarbose, and sitagliptin was used as standard drug. The molecular docking study was performed to study the binding interactions of palmatine with alpha-glucosidase, a-amylase, and DPP-IV. The binding interactions were compared with the standard compounds Sitagliptin and acarbose. Palmatine with IC50 (1.31 ± 0.27 µM) showed significant difference of (lt; 0.0001) higher inhibiting effect on alpha-amylase and weak inhibiting effect on alpha-glucosidase enzyme with IC50 (9.39 ± 0.27 µM) and DPP-IV with IC50 (8.7 ± 1.82 µM). Palmatine possess inhibition effect on the three enzymes.
