Brief Summary  

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the third killer of the mankind and it is one of the most challenging diseases facing health care professionals today1. It is comparable to Madhumeha2. Conventional agents are being used to control diabetes along with lifestyle management. To date, over 400 traditional plant treatments for diabetes have been reported, although only a small number of these have received scientific and medical evaluation to assess their efficacy. The hypoglycemic effect of some herbal extracts has been confirmed in human and animal models of type-2 diabetes. The World Health Organization Expert Committee on diabetes has recommended that traditional medicinal herbs be further investigated 3. Ayurvedic drugs not only have Pramehagna(antidiabetic), but also have Rasayana (Immunomodulator) properties. This clinical trial focuses on the   validation of the safety & efficacy of   the   Ayurvedic formulation Mamajjaka ghanavati .

The drug Mamajjaka ghanavati contains Mamajjaka (Enicostemma littorale) extract-8 parts,         2 parts   each of Mamajjaka (Enicostemma littorale) Churna , Katuki (Picrorrhiza kurroa ) Pippali  (Piper longum ) and Ativisha (Aconitum heterophyllum). Mamajjaka (Enicostemma littorale) is mentioned in Shodhala Nighantu (12thcentury) in Lakshmanadi varga 4. Mamajjaka (Enicostemma littorale) has antidiabetic5 and antioxidant properties6. Shukla & Shukla concluded that E. littorale extract for 45 days significantly reduced hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Enicostemma littorale possess potential antidiabetic activity and improves lipid profile at a small dose of 0.5 g/kg7.

 Ativisha (Aconitum heterophyllum)   is one of the bitter constituents, which is described in Ayurveda, as an effective drug in noninsulin dependant Diabetes8. Ethanolic extract of Piper longum (PLEFet) has shown significant anti hyperglycemic, anti lipid peroxidative and antioxidant effects in diabetic rats. It has also corrected the metabolic alterations observed by the activities of several carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes. The anti hyperglycemic effect of PLEFet has been compared to that of the standard reference drug glibenclamide 9. Katuki (Picrorhiza kurroa) has been stated   to be a promising strategy for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy10. Picrorhiza kurroa is hepatoprotective, antioxidant and hypolipidemic drug 11. The current clinical trial focuses on Ayurvedic drug preparation used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, a major non-communicable disease leading to huge economic losses.
