Synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole-1,3,4-thiadiazole hybrids as novel α-glucosidase inhibitors by in situ azidation/click assembly.

α-Glucosidase inhibition is widely used in the oral management of diabetes mellitus (DM), a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. In this respect, a series of 1,2,3-triazole-1,3,4-thiadiazole hybrids 7a-j were synthesized, inspired by a copper-catalyzed one-pot azidation/click assembly approach. All the synthesized hybrids were screened for inhibition of the α-glucosidase enzyme, displaying IC values ranging from 63.

Inhibition of α-glucosidase enzyme by 'click'-inspired pharmacophore framework 1,3,4-thiadiazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids.

α-Glucosidase inhibitors are important oral antidiabetic drugs that are used alone or in combination therapy. In this regard, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles-1,2,3-triazoles were designed, synthesized and evaluated for α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition. The applied synthesis protocol involved a 'click' reaction between a novel alkyne derived from a 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative and phenylacetamide azides.

Flavone-1,2,3-triazole derivatives as potential α-glucosidase inhibitors: Synthesis, enzyme inhibition, kinetic analysis and molecular docking study.

α-Glucosidase inhibitors are considered prime therapeutics in the management of type-2 diabetes and are preferred due to their localized action ushered by limited side effects. In this regard, nineteen new flavone-1,2,3-triazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized via utilizing an efficient click reaction protocol, and screened for the inhibition of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The reaction conditions were mild, good yielding and required easy work up.

Discovery of novel pyrido-pyrrolidine hybrid compounds as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and alternative agent for control of type 1 diabetes.

A new library of pyrido-pyrrolidine hybrid compounds were designed, developed and screened for their antidiabetic property with α-glucosidase. The design is based on preliminary screening of key fragments identified from literature reported α-glucosidase inhibitors and antidiabetic compounds. The most active fragments were stitched to provide a pyrido-pyrrolidine hybrid molecule as a new motif.

A novel library of -arylketones as potential inhibitors of α-glucosidase: Their design, synthesis, in vitro and in vivo studies.

α-glucosidase is an essential enzyme located at the brush border of intestines. It is an important therapeutic target for type II diabetes. Herein we have designed a library of novel α-arylketones as inhibitors of α-glucosidase (yeast origin) via scaffold hopping and bioisosteric modification of known inhibitors of α-glucosidase.

Phytochemical screening and evaluation of in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the indigenous medicinal plant Albizia odoratissima.

Context: Albizia odoratissima (L. f.) Benth has been used in Indian folk medicine to treat numerous inflammatory pathologies, such as leprosy, ulcers, burns and asthma.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of small molecules as potent glucosidase inhibitors.

Herein we have reported design, synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of a library of bicyclic lactams that led to the discovery of compounds 6 and 7 as a novel class of α-glucosidase inhibitors. They inhibited α-glucosidase (yeast origin) in a mixed type of inhibition with an IC50 of ∼150 nM. Molecular docking studies further substantiated screening results.

Reagent-based DOS: developing a diastereoselective methodology to access spirocyclic- and fused heterocyclic ring systems.

Herein, we report a diversity-oriented-synthesis (DOS) approach for the synthesis of biologically relevant molecular scaffolds. Our methodology enables the facile synthesis of fused N-heterocycles, spirooxoindolones, tetrahydroquinolines, and fused N-heterocycles. The two-step sequence starts with a chiral-bicyclic-lactam-directed enolate-addition/substitution step.
