Discovery of potential visfatin activators using in silico docking and ADME predictions as therapy for type 2 diabetes

Visfatin (Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase) is an adipokine implicated in mediating insulin resistance and exhibiting insulin mimetic effect and therefore represents a druggable target for diabetes therapy. About 3,844 peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists documente...
