Design, synthesis, in vitro, and in silico anti-α-glucosidase assays of N-phenylacetamide-1,2,3-triazole-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives as new anti-diabetic agents.

In this work, a novel series of N-phenylacetamide-1,2,3-triazole-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives 5a-n were designed by consideration of the potent α-glucosidase inhibitors containing indole and carboxamide-1,2,3-triazole-N-phenylacetamide moieties. These compounds were synthesized by click reaction and evaluated against yeast α-glucosidase. All the newly title compounds demonstrated superior potency when compared with acarbose as a standard inhibitor.

Discovery of novel 4,5-diphenyl-imidazol-α-aminophosphonate hybrids as promising anti-diabetic agents: Design, synthesis, in vitro, and in silico enzymatic studies.

Herein, a novel series of 4,5-diphenyl-imidazol-α-aminophosphonate hybrids 4a-m was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as new anti-diabetic agents. These compounds were evaluated against two important target enzymes in the diabetes treatment: α-glucosidase and α-amylase. These new compounds were synthesized in three steps and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques.
