Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes, is a growing global health challenge characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance. One therapeutic approach to managing this condition is the inhibition of α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate digestion, to reduce postprandial blood glucose levels. In this study, a series of thiosemicarbazide-linked quinoline-piperazine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, to identify new agents for type 2 diabetes management.

Among the synthesized compounds, 7m exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity, demonstrating a 28-fold greater efficacy than the standard clinical inhibitor, acarbose. Molecular docking studies indicated strong binding interactions between 7m and the α-glucosidase active site, including hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and π-cation interactions.
