dc.description.abstractIt is crucial to investigate new anti-diabetic agents and therapeutic approaches targeting molecules in potential signaling pathways for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of the study was to investigate the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, alpha-glucosidase, and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities of Bolanthus turcicus (B. turcicus), as well as their cytotoxic, anti-adipogenic, anti-diabetic, apoptotic, and anti-migration potential on adipocytes. B. turcicus samples were extracted with methanol (MeOH), ethyl acetate (EA) and aqueous (Aq) solvents. The MeOH extract had the highest phenolic content (81.14 mg GAE/g), followed by EA (74.93 mg GAE/g) and Aq (51.09 mg GAE/g). All extracts exhibited dose-dependent increases in alpha-glycosidase and alpha-amylase inhibitory activity. B. turcicus extracts showed cytotoxic effect on adipocytes with IC50 values of MeOH (141.0 mu g/mL) < Aq (155.3 g/mL) < EA (199.5 g/mL). Furthermore, B. turcicus extracts reduced lipid droplet formation and adipocyte diameter size. All extracts altered cell morphology to resemble fibroblasts. B. turcicus extracts exhibited anti-migratory effect delaying wound healing for up to 96 h. The B. turcicus extracts showed a pro-apoptotic effects on adipocytes by increasing Caspase-3 enzyme activity and the population of DAPI-positive cell with apoptotic nuclear-morphology. B. turcicus extracts upregulated the expression of the Glut-4 gene at the mRNA, protein and intracellular level in adipocytes. In conclusion, our findings indicate that B. turcicus not only exhibits strong antioxidant properties and enzyme inhibitory activities but also exerts significant anti-adipogenic and pro-apoptotic effects in adipocytes, thereby providing a comprehensive mechanism through which it may contribute to the management of T2DM. These effects highlight the potential of B. turcicus as a therapeutic agent for improving glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.
