Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels. It was shown that modulating the activity of α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate digestion and absorption, can improve blood sugar control and overall metabolic health in individuals with T2DM. As a result, in the current study, a series of imidazole bearing different substituted thioquinolines were designed and synthesized as α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial global health disorder that is rising at an alarming rate. One effective therapeutic approach for controlling hyperglycemia associated with type-2 diabetes is to target α-glucosidase, which catalyzes starch hydrolysis in the intestine. In an attempt to find potential α-glucosidase inhibitors, a series of twenty new quinoline linked benzothiazole hybrids (8a-t) were synthesized in good yields from suitable reaction procedures and their chemical structures were analyzed by HNMR, CNMR, IR, and ESI-MS analysis.
