This paper describes the design, development, synthesis, in silico, and in vitro evaluation of fourteen novel heterocycle hybrids as inhibitors of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The primary aim of this study was to explore the potential of novel pyrazole-phthalazine hybrids as selective inhibitors of α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism, which plays a key role in the management of type 2 diabetes. The rationale for this study stems from the need for new, more effective inhibitors of α-glucosidase with improved efficacy and safety profiles compared to currently available therapies like Acarbose.

Tyrosinase plays a pivotal role in the hyperpigmentation and enzymatic browning of fruit and vegetable. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors can be of interest in industries as depigmentation compounds as well as anti-browning agents. In the present study, a series of chlorophenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one derivative were rationally designed and synthesized.

Melanin pigment and melanogenesis are a two-edged sword. Melanin has a radioprotection role while melanogenesis has undesirable effects. Targeting the melanogenesis pathway, a series of kojyl thioether conjugated to different quinazolinone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase.

A series of new quinazolinone-dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran derivatives 10A-L were synthesized by simple chemical reactions and were investigated for inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. New synthesized compounds showed high α-glucosidase inhibition effects in comparison to the standard drug acarbose and were inactive against α-amylase. Among them, the most potent compound was compound 10L (IC value = 40.

In this study, novel quinazolinone derivatives 7a-n were synthesized and evaluated against metabolic enzymes including α-glycosidase, acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, human carbonic anhydrase I, and II. These compounds exhibited high inhibitory activities in comparison to used standard inhibitors with K values in the range of 19.28-135.

In this paper, we introduce various definitions of R-duals, to be called R-duals of type I, II, which leads to a generalization of the duality principle in Banach spaces. A basic problem of interest in connection with the study of R-duals in Banach spaces is that of characterizing those R-duals which can essentially be regarded as M-basis. We give some conditions under which an R-dual sequence to be an M-basis for .

Fourteen novel 4,5-diphenyl-imidazol-1,2,3-triazole hybrids 8a-n were synthesized with good yields by performing click reaction between the 4,5-diphenyl-2-(prop-2-yn-1-ylthio)-1H-imidazole and various benzyl azides. The synthesized compounds 8a-n were evaluated against yeast α-glucosidase, and all these compounds exhibited excellent inhibitory activity (IC values in the range of 85.6 ± 0.
