In silico Study to Optimize the Dosage of Oleuropein with Metformin in Diabetes Management

     Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a potentially fatal metabolic disorder worldwide, in this COVID-19 era. Long-term allopathic treatment has a variety of side effects, prompting the search for alternative therapies. Oleuropein, the primary bioactive ingredient of Olive Leaf Extract (OLE), has shown noteworthy actions to control T2DM. The present study provides a dynamic study of % improvement in GLUT4 concentration with different doses of metformin (150mg-500mg) in combination with 500mg using a dynamic in silico model developed in Cell Designer 4.4.2, a system biology tool. The results indicated that 300mg of metformin and 500mg of oleuropein is the optimum combination to treat diabetes, ensuring a 2% improvement in G
