ACS Omega, 2024

Diabetes is an emerging disorder in the world and is caused due to the imbalance of insulin production as well as serious effects on the body. In search of a better treatment for diabetes, we designed a novel class of 1,3,4-thiadiazole-bearing Schiff base analogues and assessed them for the α-glucosidase enzyme. In the series (1−12), compounds are synthesized and 3 analogues showed excellent inhibitory activity against αglucosidase enzymes in the range of IC 50 values of 18.10 ± 0.20 to 1.10 ± 0.10 μM. In this series, analogues 4, 8, and 9 show remarkable inhibition profile IC 50 2.20 ± 0.10, 1.10 ± 0.10, and 1.30 ± 0.10 μM by using acarbose as a standard, whose IC 50 is 11.50 ± 0.30 μM. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed through various spectroscopic techniques, such as NMR and HREI-MS. Additionally, molecular docking, pharmacokinetics, cytotoxic evaluation, and density functional theory study were performed to investigate their behavior.

New prospects for the development of selective inhibitors of α -glucosidase based on coumarin-iminothiazolidinone hybrids: Synthesis, in-vitro biological screening and molecular docking analysis

Journal of The Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2017

α-Glucosidase inhibitors have extensively been exploited for the effective management of type 2 diabetes and associated complications by significantly reducing the postprandial increase in glucose and plasma insulin levels. In this endeavour, we designed and synthesized a new series of coumarinyl iminothiazolidinone hybrid compounds (6a-o) using a one-pot multi-component approach. The hybrid structures were accessed in good chemical yields. The synthesized compounds were tested for their glucosidase inhibitory efficacy using acarbose as a standard inhibitor (IC 50 = 38.2 ± 0.12 μM). In-vitro analysis of the hybrid molecules identified several potential leads for the development of potent glucosidase inhibitors with IC 50 values in the range of 0.09-0.92 μM with compound 6g being the most potent drug candidate (IC 50 = 0.09 ± 0.001 μM). Furthermore, compound 6f was identified as the lead inhibitor against maltaseglucoamylase with comparable inhibitory efficacy to acarbose with an IC 50 value of 0.07 ± 0.016 μM. Binding interactions of potent compounds with the key residues in the active site of the glucosidase enzyme were revealed by molecular docking analysis. In summary, these new structural leads based on the hybrid pharmacophores could be developed as potential inhibitors of α-glucosidase for treating postprandial hyperglycemia.

A new entry into the portfolio of α-glucosidase inhibitors as potent therapeutics for type 2 diabetes: Design, bioevaluation and one-pot multi-component synthesis of diamine-bridged coumarinyl oxadiazole conjugates

Bioorganic chemistry, 2018

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic multifarious metabolic disorder resulting from impaired glucose homeostasis has become one of the most challenging diseases with severe life threat to public health. The inhibition of α-glucosidase, a key carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme, could serve as one of the effective methodology in both preventing and treating diabetes through controlling the postprandial glucose levels and suppressing postprandial hyperglycemia. In this context, three series of diamine-bridged bis-coumarinyl oxadiazole conjugates were designed and synthesized by one-pot multi-component methodology. The synthesized conjugates (4a-j, 5a-j, 6a-j) were evaluated as potential inhibitors of glucosidases. Compound 6f containing 4,4'-oxydianiline linker was identified as the lead and selective inhibitor of α-glucosidase enzyme with an ICvalue of 0.07 ± 0.001 μM (acarbose: IC = 38.2 ± 0.12 μM). This inhibition efficacy was ∼545-fold higher compared to the standard drug. Compound 6...

Elemental analysis was found in agreement with the calculated values. All compounds were evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibiting potential and showed potent inhibitory activity in the range of IC50=2.00±0.01-292.40±3.16μM as compared to standard acarbose (IC50=895.09±2.04µM). The pharmacokinetic predictions of tris-indole series using descriptor properties showed that almost all compounds in this series indicate the drug aptness. Detailed binding mode analyses with docking simulation was also carried out which showed that the inhibitors can be stab...

Synthesis and α-Glucosidase Inhibition Activity of 2-[3-(Benzoyl/4-bromobenzoyl)-4-hydroxy-1,1-dioxido-2H-benzo[e][1,2]thiazin-2-yl]-N-arylacetamides: An In Silico and Biochemical Approach

Molecules

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disorder and has affected a large number of people worldwide. Insufficient insulin production causes an increase in blood glucose level that results in DM. To lower the blood glucose level, various drugs are employed that block the activity of the α-glucosidase enzyme, which is considered responsible for the breakdown of polysaccharides into monosaccharides leading to an increase in the intestinal blood glucose level. We have synthesized novel 2-(3-(benzoyl/4-bromobenzoyl)-4-hydroxy-1,1-dioxido-2H-benzo[e][1,2]thiazin-2-yl)-N-arylacetamides and have screened them for their in silico and in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition activity. The derivatives 11c, 12a, 12d, 12e, and 12g emerged as potent inhibitors of the α-glucosidase enzyme. These compounds exhibited good docking scores and excellent binding interactions with the selected residues (Asp203, Asp542, Asp327, His600, Arg526) during in silico screening. Similarly, these compounds also showed good ...

Design, synthesis, and in silico studies of quinoline-based-benzo[d]imidazole bearing different acetamide derivatives as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors

Scientific Reports, 2022

In this study, 18 novel quinoline-based-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives were synthesized and screened for their α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. All compounds in the series except 9q showed a significant α-glucosidase inhibition with IC 50 values in the range of 3.2 ± 0.3-185.0 ± 0.3 µM, as compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC 50 = 750.0 ± 5.0 µM). A kinetic study indicated that compound 9d as the most potent derivative against α-glucosidase was a competitive type inhibitor. Furthermore, the molecular docking study revealed the effective binding interactions of 9d with the active site of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The results indicate that the designed compounds have the potential to be further studied as new anti-diabetic agents. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, with the disorder in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism in the body 1. DM is known as an important public health threat with around 450 million cases worldwide in 2019. This number is expected to rise to 700 million by 2045 worldwide confirming further action is required in this field 2,3. Long-term DM can increase the risk of various health complications including blindness, renal failure, foot amputation, as well as cardiovascular, retinopathy, and renal diseases 4. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with around 90% of all cases is categorized as a major sub-type of DM. It was considered that glycemic control could be effective prevention and treatment for T2DM 5-7. α-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) is a catalytic hydrolase enzyme present on the brush border of the small intestine which hydrolyzes oligosaccharides, trisaccharides, and disaccharides to glucose and other monosaccharides at their non-reducing ends 7-10. The produced monosaccharides especially glucose enter the bloodstream, resulting in postprandial hyperglycemia thus causing diabetes 11-13. Therefore, the inhibition of α-glucosidase might reduce carbohydrate digestion, delay glucose uptake, and consequently, decrease blood sugar levels 14,15. The α-glucosidase enzyme can be inhibited by acarbose, voglibose, and miglitol with sub-optimal efficacy 16. Also, long-term administration of mentioned inhibitor may cause several side effects, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. As a result, a need of effective inhibitors to target α-glucosidase is highly needed 17-19. In the last few decades, different synthetic small molecules including benzo[d]imidazole 20 , isatin 21 benzo[b] thiophene 22 pyrimidine 23 , xanthone 24 , chromene 6 , azole 18,25 against α-glucosidase attracted increasing attention.
