Thiazolidinedione-triazole conjugates: design, synthesis and probing of the α-amylase inhibitory potential.

The primary objective of this investigation was the synthesis, spectral interpretation and evaluation of the α-amylase inhibition of rationally designed thiazolidinedione-triazole conjugates (). The designed compounds were synthesized by stirring a mixture of thiazolidine-2,4-dione, propargyl bromide, cinnamaldehyde and azide derivatives in polyethylene glycol-400. The α-amylase inhibitory activity of the synthesized conjugates was examined by integrating and studies. The investigated derivatives exhibited promising α-amylase inhibitory activity, with IC values ranging between 0.028 and 0.088 μmol ml. Various computational approaches were employed to get detailed information about the inhibition mechanism. The thiazolidinedione-triazole conjugate , with IC = 0.028 μmol ml, was identified as the best hit for inhibiting α-amylase.
