Biomarkers as Targeted Herbal Drug Discovery
medicine is a valuable part of traditional medicine and modern medicine, and it will be the same as in the future. There are now over 100 natural drug products being clinically tested and at least 100 compounds or molecules at the preclinical stage of development (Harvey Al, 2008). Most of these molecules are derived from a lead from plant and microbial sources and are in the devel­opmental stage. The cancer and infection medication discovery program are based on natural products but a number of other therapeutic areas, such as inflammation, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurosciences, and metabo­lism, are also targeted. Among 108 different therapeutic projects, indicate that 46 are in pre-clinically active and 14 in phase-1, 41 in phase-2, 5 in phase-3, and 2 are in the pre-registration phase (Harvey Al, 2008). There are generally six categories for the NCEs class. However, botanical sources, fungi, bacteria, and marine sources are the four major classes. In addition to these four classes of substances, the modern pharmaceutical chemistry includes two different classes of manufactured substances, synthetic chemistry, and combination chemistry from these natural sources.

Globally about 422,000 plant species have been identified, of which 12.5% plant species have been used for medicinal purpose and 8% of the medicinal plants are under the threatened’ category (Schippmann et al., 2002). Still the biological activities of many plants are not explored, and few of the plants are well recognized in official pharmacopeias, such as the Ayurvedic pharma­copeia of India and Japanese pharmacopeia. Indian Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia contains 540 plant monographs and 976 compounds formulations (Joshi et al.,

The plant habit has a major impact on the concentration of phytocon­stituent and this factor plays an important role in the medicinal importance of any plant. Approximately, 90% of the medicinal herbs in the Indian medicinal are collected from natural and wild sources. The unsuitable collection (stage of maturity, dried haphazardly, and stored for a long time) is rapidly depleting the resource and many species are under threat (Lalitha, 2013).

In 1906, German Physician Aloes Alzheimer, who first describe brain disorder and named after its Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD is a neurode­generative and progressive disease that mainly affects an aged over 65, and reported for 50%–60% of dementia cases (Francis et al., 1999). Alzheimer’s condition is characterized by a decrease in speech function, increased apathy, and deterioration of virtually all intellectual functions, progressive loss of memory, disorientation, and gait irregularities.
The loss of memory is due to the scarcity of the neurotransmitter acetyl­choline. Inhibiting the action of the enzyme acetylcholine esterase which breaks up the neurotransmitter can improve the acetylcholine transmitter concentration in the brain. Drugs that prevent messenger breakdown or acetylcholine stop the disease’s growth (Jayaprakasam et al., 2010). Herbs
for antioxidant and anti-inammatory activities which could be used to treat
Alzheimer’s disease have been investigated. The herbal herbs that inhibit AchE contain COX-2, which are used for the indication of AD as a herbal medicine. Some Indian herbs used in the Ayurvedic preparations which are excellent for slowing down the brain degeneration caused by Alzheimer’s like Padma (Nelumbo nucifera), Kataj, Galo Satva, Musta Arjun, Guduchi, Ashwagandha, Amalaki, Pancha-TiktaGhrutaGugguli, Vacha, etc.

Lipidium meyenii Walp is also known as maca. Maca shows a profitable improvement in learning and memory. Lipidium meyenii Walp improves experimental memory impairment, induced by ovariectomy, due in part to its AchE inhibitory and antioxidant activities. Results showed that Lipidium meyenii Walp can improve learning and memory in ovariectomized (OVX) mice and this impact may be linked to its capacity to reduce lipid peroxida­tion (LPO) and AchE in OVX mice (Kumari et al., 1995).

It is a chronic metabolic disorder of carbohydrate, protein, and fat, which is a lifelong condition affecting the person’s blood glucose and insulin level in the body. In diabetic condition, pancreases either do not produce enough insulin or the body does not use it properly. It is estimated that the world­wide prevalence of diabetes will increase from 4% in 1995 to 5.4% by 2025. According to WHO prediction, the major burden will occur in developing countries?
A study in India over the last decade has shown that the prevalence of diabetes is not only high, but also rapidly increasing in the urban population. An estimated 33 million adult with diabetes is living in India. By 2025, the number is expected to rise to 57.2 million.
Symptoms for diabetic conditions may include:
1. High level of blood sugar level;
2. Unusual thirst;
3. Frequent urination;

Acacia is growing throughout India, particularly in the wild. The extract of this plant acts as an anti-diabetic agent by acting as a secretagogue to secrete insulin. In the experiment, it induces hypoglycemia in control rats. In powdery seeds of Acacia administered to normal rabbits at a weight of 2, 3, and 4 g/kg, the hypoglycemic effect is caused by insulin-releasing in the pancreas cells (Wadood et al., 1989).

Garlic is a herb grown throughout India. It has allicin, a compound that contains sulfate that gives a smooth odor and has significant hypoglycemic activity (Sheela et al., 1992). The hypoglycemic impact is supposed to be attributed to enhanced hepatic metabolism, enhanced beta-cell glucose discharge, or insulin-sparing (Zacharias et al., 1980). Garlic aqueous homog­enate (10 ml/kg/day) orally administered to rabbits for 2 months 10 g/kg/ day in the water, hepatics glycogen and amino acid, rapid sugar, and serum triglycerides decrease, as opposed to sucrose controls (Augusti et al., 1996). S-allyl cysteine is oxidant-controlled sulfur that contains the amino acid, a precursor of garlic oil and allicin, rather than insulin and glibenclamide that controls the lipid by oxidation (Al-Awadi et al., 1987). Garlic also exhibits anticancer, antimicrobial, and cardioprotective activities.

Aloe vera is a popular house decorative plant and a multipurpose folk remedy. Aloe has two basic products: latex and gel. Aloe gel is commonly known pulp or mucilage as aloe juice, and aloe latex is a bitter yellow exudate of per cycle tube below the outer skin of the leaves. Aloe gum extract effectively increases glucose tolerance in common rats as well as in diabetic ones (Aiabnoor et al.,
1990). Treatment of chronic have no single dose of Aloe barbadenis exudates in alloxan diabetic rats indicates a hypoglycemic impact. The hypoglycemic action was also demonstrated in the diabetic rat, together with a chronic amount of the bitter principle of the same plant. This action of Aloe vera is through stimulation of synthesis and/or insulin release from pancreatic beta cells (Devis et al., 1989). This plant has anti-inflammatory activities that depend on the doses and improves the wound healing in diabetic mice (Chattopadhyay et al., 1987).

Eugenia jambolana in India is used to treat diabetes in households. This is also an important component of many herbal medicines for diabetes formulations. Aqueous, alcoholic, and lyophilized powder extracts have anti-hyperglycemic effects and a drop in blood glucose levels. It depends on the level of diabetes. It indicates 73.51% decrease in mild arthritis (plasma sugar >180 mg/dl), compared to 55.6% and 17.62% reduced in moderate (plasma glucose >280 mg/dl) and severe diabetes (plasma sugar >400 mg/ dl). In streptozotocin-induced mice, the extract of Jamun pulp exhibited hypoglycemic activity within 30 minutes, whereas seeds of the fruit needed 24 hours. The oral administration of extract has led to an increased serum insulin level in diabetic rats. The incubation of plant extract with the isolated islet of Langerhans from both normal and diabetic animals stimulated insulin secretion. These extracts also inhibited liver and kidney insulins activity (Aderibigbe et al., 1999).

These are the properties which can make milk thistle a useful herb for diabetes patients. Many of the silymarin studies are promising but, according to one review published in 2016, the research is not strong enough to recommend the herb or extract alone for diabetes.

There is currently an investigation of the effect of Gleditsia sinensis on cancer. New drug development still necessary for the therapy of HCC, the most prevalent form of main liver cancer, with greater effectiveness. The beneficial impact of Gleditsia sinensis extract (GSE) and its regulatory effects on the miRNAs were determined by the use of the rat HCC model implanted with cancerous Walker-256 cells. GSE improves liver morphology significantly and dramati­cally induced HCC rat cell apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-21/181b/183 was up-regulated in HCC liver and both sorafenib and GSE reduced the elevation of these miRNAs. Down-Regulation PTEN/TIMP3/PDCD4 was consistent with the HCC liver target of miR3621/181b/183 and both GSE and Sorafenib altered the target genes. Also determined were the impacts of TIMP3 on MMP-2/9’ expression. The results show the potential of GSE in HCC treat­ment and increase the understanding of miRNA-related mechanisms in GSE cancer (Lopez-Lazaro, 2008).

studied the resveratrol absorption and efux in HepG2 cells. Resveratrol
has been rapidly combined and fully metabolized to form two major resve­ratrol metabolites in eight hours: disulfate and monosulfate. In order to assess the inhibitory effect of hepatocarcinogenesis resveratrol, the HCC rat model is used by Bishayee et al. A single intraperitoneal (I.P) injection of diethylnitrosamine (DENA) produced the HCC, followed by promotion in drinking water with phenol barbital. Resveratrol has been discovered to have an important chemoprotective impact on hepatocarcinogenesis initiated by DENA through inhibition of apoptosis and cell proliferation. They found that a feasible mechanism could be that the apoptogenic signal induced by resveratrol is mediated through Bcl-2 down-regulation and Bax up-regulation (Bishayee et al., 2008). The inhibitory impact of resveratrol on apoptosis and cell proliferation in HepG 2 cells also were demonstrated by an in vitro study by Stervbo et al. resveratrol has been found to inhibit the synthesis of DNA and to increase the nuclear scale and granularity of HepG 2 cells in G1 and S phases. Resveratrol also activated apoptosis in HepG 2 cells, which was concentration-dependent. Resveratrol has been found that it interferes with distinct phase of cycle inhibiting cell proliferation and triggers apoptosis stimulation. The HepG2 cells were also used by Notas et al. to examine the effects of resveratrol on cell growth. They show that stilbene resveratrol inhibits
