This study investigates the latent capacities related to the antidiabetic properties of Momordica cymbalaria, a traditional medicinal plant which is native to India and Southeast Asia, characterized by its rich phytochemical profile, which includes charantin, saponins, flavonoids, and phenolics. There is a growing interest in natural, plant-based therapeutic alternatives as there is increasing global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the limitations of conventional synthetic drugs that show adverse effects and long-term toxicity. M. cymbalaria has historically been used in traditional medicine to manage diabetes due to its hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties. This research focuses on developing a medicated jelly formulation incorporating M. cymbalaria extracts to enhance bioavailability, improve patient compliance, and facilitate ease of administration, particularly in pediatric and geriatric populations. The jelly matrix provides a palatable, fast-dissolving delivery system that effectively delivers bioactive compounds. The formulation is characterized by its physicochemical properties, stability, and bioactivity, aiming to establish a safe, sustainable, and natural approach to diabetes management. Overall, this work highlights M. cymbalaria’s potential as a promising natural antidiabetic agent and demonstrates the feasibility of delivering plant-based therapeutics via innovative dosage forms, such as medicated jellies. This integrative approach combines traditional knowledge with modern pharmaceutical technology to address unmet needs in diabetes therapy.
