Tyramine Derivatives as Potent Therapeutics for Type 2 Diabetes: Synthesis and Inhibition of α-Glucosidase Enzyme.

Background: Tyramine derivatives 3-16 were prepared and tested first time for their α- glucosidase (Sources: Saccharomyces cerevisiae) inhibitory activity by using an in vitro mechanismbased biochemical assay. All the compounds were found to be new, except compounds 3, 10-12 and 16.

Objective: In continuation of our research to synthesize and identify potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase enzyme, we intended to synthesize new inhibitors of α-glucosidase enzyme with enhanced efficacy in order to provide the basis for the better treatment of the type-II diabetic.

2-Mercapto Benzothiazole Derivatives: As Potential Leads for the Diabetic Management.

Background: Results of our previous studies on antiglycation activity, and the noncytotoxicity of 2-mercapto benzothiazoles, encouraged us to further widen our investigation towards the identification of leads against diabetes mellitus.

Methods: 33 derivatives of 2-mercapto benzothiazoles 1-33 were evaluated for in vitro α- glucosidase inhibitory activity. Mode of inhibition was deduced by kinetic studies.

In the present study, a series of new carbazole linked 1H-1,2,3-triazoles (2-27) were synthesized via click reaction of N-propargyl-9H-carbazole (1) and azides of appropriate acetophenones and heterocycles. Synthesized carbazole triazoles including 7, 9, 10, 19, 20, and 23-26 (IC=0.8±0.

In vitro α-Glucosidase Inhibition by Non-sugar based Triazoles of Dibenzoazepine, their Structure-Activity Relationship, and Molecular Docking.

Background: α-Glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) have been reported for their clinical potential against postprandial hyperglycemia, which is responsible for the risks associated with diabetes mellitus 2 and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Besides, a number of compounds have been reported as potent AGIs, several side effects are associated with them.

Methods: The aim of present work is to explore new and potent molecules as AGIs.

A concise synthesis and evaluation of new malonamide derivatives as potential α-glucosidase inhibitors.

A series of new malonamide derivatives were synthesized by Michael addition reaction of N(1),N(3)-di(pyridin-2-yl)malonamide into α,β-unsaturated ketones mediated by DBU in DCM at ambient temperature. The inhibitory potential of these compounds in vitro, against α-glucosidase enzyme was evaluated. Result showed that most of malonamide derivatives were identified as a potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase enzyme.

Ultrasonic synthesis of tyramine derivatives as novel inhibitors of α-glucosidase in vitro.

Tyramine derivatives 3-27 were synthesized by using conventional and environmental friendly ultrasonic techniques. These derivatives were then evaluated for the first time for their α-glucosidase (Sources: Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian rat-intestinal acetone powder) inhibitory activity by using in vitro mechanism-based biochemical assays. Compounds 7, 14, 20, 21 and 26 were found to be more active (IC50 = 49.

Dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazole: Novel in vitro inhibitors of yeast α-glucosidase.

Inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme activity is a reliable approach towards controlling post-prandial hyperglycemia associated risk factors. During the current study, a series of dihydropyrano[2,3-c] pyrazoles (1-35) were synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 1, 4, 22, 30, and 33 were found to be the potent inhibitors of the yeast α-glucosidase enzyme.

New α-glucosidase inhibiting anthracenone from the barks of Harungana madagascariensis Lam.

Two new 10-hydroxy-9(10H)-anthracenone, madagascenone A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the barks of Harungana madagascariensis Lam. The structures of the compounds were determined using 1D- and 2D-NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. Both of the compounds showed an in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition with IC = 69.

2-Arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones: A new class of α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Twenty-five derivatives of 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones (1-25) were evaluated for their yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. All synthetic compounds, except 1 and 6, were found to be several hundred fold more active (IC50 values in the range of 0.3±0.
