Comparative pharmacognostic study of these &lt;em&gt;Ocimum&lt;/em&gt; species is unspecified. Growing demand of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum&lt;/em&gt; plants demands quality standards for correct identification of desired &lt;em&gt;Ocimum &lt;/em&gt;species. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; Hence aim of present study is to establish comparative pharmacognostical, phytochemical and biological standards for most commonly found and morphologically confusing five species of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopic, microscopic, preliminary phytochemical evaluations, extraction of essential oils, TLC analysis, &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant and antimicrobial potency of selected five species carried out and compared. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; This comparative study reports that &lt;em&gt;O. sanctum&lt;/em&gt; should be preferred in medicine use among selected five species based on phytochemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial potency.&lt;/p&gt;

The placebo (Normal saline) control group, Standard (Vildagliptin) group and 3 above mentioned extract groups. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was done. Blood samples were collected for blood sugar estimation at -30 (before extract),0, 15, 45 minutes and blood sugar levels were done by enzymatic assay.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The maximum alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity at 100 μg/ml by&lt;em&gt; Trigonella foenum graecum&lt;/em&gt; extract was 68% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 57.25, &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract was 65% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value of 59.55, &lt;em&gt;Curcuma longa&lt;/em&gt; was 72% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value of 56.79 when compared to the Acarbose (STD) of 94% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 42.78. The maximum % of DPP IV inhibition at 320 μg/ml of &lt;em&gt;Trigonella foenum graecum &lt;/em&gt;extract was 77.84% with IC50 value of 52.26, &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; extract was 86.98% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 46.08 and &lt;em&gt;Curcuma longa&lt;/em&gt; was 76.47% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 55.06 when compared to the Vildagliptin (STD) was 80.15% with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 22.98. The OGTT results of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum &lt;/em&gt;(200 mg/kg) shows reduction in blood glucose (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=&amp;lt;0.05) at 15 minutes and significant reduction (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=&amp;lt;0.001) at 45 minutes and &lt;em&gt;Trigonella foenum &lt;/em&gt;graecum (2 gm/kg) showed significant reduction in blood glucose (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=&amp;lt;0.001) at 15 minutes when compared to control. Further clinical studies are necessary to establish the therapeutic potential of these extracts in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract, &lt;em&gt;Trigonella foenum &lt;/em&gt;graecum seed extract shows significant alpha-glucosidase and DPPIV inhibitory activity which correlates with the antihyperglycemic effects by in-vivo oral glucose tolerance test.

The treatment based on natural products are preferred because they are more economic and have lesser side-effects. In this regards, &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; commonly known as holy basil or tulsi is used in the diseases cure and treatment since ancient time. &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum &lt;/em&gt;has been proven health promoting effect through modulation of various biological activates. &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum &lt;/em&gt;shows therapeutic role through its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective and wound healing effects. Besides, the constituents of holy basil have been confirmed to have a noteworthy effect in cancer management through inhibition of cancer development and progression. Further, the synergistic effect of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum &lt;/em&gt;component with anti-cancer drugs has been proven as it reduces the growth of cancer. Molecular mechanism and human clinical trials based should be performed to avail its role in diseases cure and management. This review comprehensively summarizes the role of holy basil in disease management through&lt;em&gt; in vivo &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;study.&lt;/p&gt;

Methanolic leaf extract of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; was prepared by Sami labs, Bangalore and used for the study. After obtaining Institutional Animal ethical committee clearance male albino rats (155–215 g) were divided into 4 groups. 6 albino rats were randomly assigned to Control (Normal saline) group, Standard (Vildagliptin 50 mg/kg) group, &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract (100 mg/kg) and (200 mg/kg) groups. After overnight fasting the baseline biochemical evaluation in the fasting state blood glucose, Insulin level, Glucagon level, GLP-1 (Glucagon like peptide-1), GIP (Glucose dependent Insulinotropic peptide) level were measured for all the above groups. Control, Vildagliptin (STD) and the extracts were orally administered by using rat oral feeding tube. 30 minutes later oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was done. Blood samples were evaluated for blood sugar, Insulin, Glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP at 0, 15 and 45 minutes after oral glucose load. &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; (200 mg/kg) showed significant (p ≤ 0.05) reduction in blood glucose at 45 minutes when compared to control. &lt;em&gt;Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; (100 mg/kg &amp;amp; 200 mg/kg) showed significant (p ≤ 0.001) increase in GIP levels at 45 minutes of OGTT.&lt;em&gt; Ocimum sanctum&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract showed significant antihyperglycemic and incretin enhancing effects. Further indepth animal and clinical studies are necessary to demonstrate the therapeutic potential of this extract for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.&lt;/p&gt;
