Quinoline scaffolds are serving as the core structure for numerous antifungal, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory drugs as well as have also been investigated for their potential antidiabetic properties. Though further exploration is required in this area as the current antidiabetic agents, such as acarbose, miglitol and voglibose, are associated with several adverse side effects. In this context, arylated tetrahydrobenzo[]quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives were designed and evaluated as potential antidiabetic agents.

Article Synopsis
  • * Both NPDs showed significant pain relief, with a 87.53% maximum inhibition in pain responses, and their effects lasted up to the end of the experimental period.
  • * The NPDs also effectively reduced swelling in paw edema and xylene-induced ear edema due to inflammation, with one derivative showing a slightly better response than the other; molecular docking studies confirmed strong interaction with the COX2 enzyme, indicating potential mechanisms for their effects.

Novel ibuprofen derivatives 1-19 including ibuprofen hydrazide 1, and substituted thiourea derivatives 2-19 were synthesized and characterized by EI-MS, FAB-MS, HREI-MS, HRFAB-MS, H-, and C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. The synthetic molecules 1-19 were examined for their in vitro urease inhibition and were found to display a diversified degree of inhibitory potential in the range of IC = 2.96-178 μM as compared to the standard thiourea (IC = 21.

Benzotriazoles (4-6) were synthesized which were further reacted with different substituted benzoic acids and phenacyl bromides to synthesize benzotriazole derivatives (7-40). The synthetic compounds (7-40) were characterized via different spectroscopic techniques including EI-MS, HREI-MS, H-, and C NMR. These molecules were examined for their anti-hyperglycemic potential hence were evaluated for α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities.
