As part of the ongoing search for antidiabetic chemicals, marine algae have been demonstrated to be an excellent source due to their medicinal properties. In this study, Ulva reticulata extracts were investigated for their anti-diabetic effect by examining its inhibitory effects on \u03b1-amylase, \u03b1-glucosidase, and DPP-IV and antioxidant (DPPH) potential in vitro and its purified fraction using animal models. Among the various solvents used, the Methanolic extract of Ulva reticulata (MEUR) displayed the highest antidiabetic activity in both in vitro and in vivo; it showed no cytotoxicity and hence was subjected to bioassay-guided chromatographic separation. Among the seven isolated fractions (F1 to F7), the F4 (chloroform) fraction exhibited substantial total phenolic content (65.19 \u03bcg mL\u22121) and total flavonoid content (20.33 \u03bcg mL\u22121), which showed the promising inhibition against \u03b1-amylase (71.67%) and \u03b1-glucosidase (38.01%). Active fraction (F4) was further purified using column chromatography, subjected to thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and characterized by spectroscopy techniques. Upon structural elucidation, five distinct compounds, namely, Nonane, Hexadecanoic acid, 1-dodecanol, Cyclodecane methyl, and phenol, phenol, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) were identified. The antidiabetic mechanism of active fraction (F4) was further investigated using various in vitro and in vivo models. The results displayed that in in vitro both 1 and 24 h in vitro cultures, the active fraction (F4) at a concentration of 100 \u03bcg mL\u22121 demonstrated maximum glucose-induced insulin secretion at 4 mM (0.357 and 0.582 \u03bcg mL\u22121) and 20 mM (0.848 and 1.032 \u03bcg mL\u22121). The active fraction (F4) reduces blood glucose levels in normoglycaemic animals and produces effects similar to that of standard acarbose. Active fraction (F4) also demonstrated outstanding hypoglycaemic activity in hyperglycemic animals at a dose of 10 mg\/kg B.wt. In the STZ-induced diabetic rat model, the active fraction (F4) showed a (61%) reduction in blood glucose level when compared to the standard drug glibenclamide (68%). The results indicate that the marine algae Ulva reticulata is a promising candidate for managing diabetes by inhibiting carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes and promoting insulin secretion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27248827","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,13]],"date-time":"2022-12-13T03:32:32Z","timestamp":1670902352000},"page":"8827","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Bioactivity Guided Study for the Isolation and Identification of Antidiabetic Compounds from Edible Seaweed\u2014Ulva reticulata"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Pullikaparambil Sasidharan","family":"Unnikrishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Biotechnology and Bioproducts Laboratory, Vellore Institute of Technology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore 632014, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andhere","family":"Animish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Biotechnology and Bioproducts Laboratory, Vellore Institute of Technology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore 632014, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gunabalan","family":"Madhumitha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry of Heterocycles and Natural Products Research Laboratory, Vellore Institute of Technology, School of Advanced Sciences, Vellore 632014, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krishnamurthy","family":"Suthindhiran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Biotechnology and Bioproducts Laboratory, Vellore Institute of Technology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore 632014, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2940-3124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mangalam Achuthananthan","family":"Jayasri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Biotechnology and Bioproducts Laboratory, Vellore Institute of Technology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore 632014, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"853","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03347581","article-title":"Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Children and Adolescents","volume":"28","author":"Marcovecchio","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
