In search of novel medications that could be effective in preventing and treating diabetes, four new [Co(L)(H 2 O) 3 ] (2), [Ni(L)(H 2 O) 3 ] (3), [Cu(L)(H 2 O)] (4) and [Zn(L)(H 2 O)] (5) complexes were synthesized from 4-Chloro-2-(((3-mercapto-5-[pyridin-4-yl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)imino)methyl)phenol ligand (H 2 L),which is obtained by the condensation of 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde with 4-amino-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol in 1:1 ratio. The Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)( 1 H and 13 C), elemental analyses, UV-visible, electron spin resonance (ESR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were used to successfully characterize the compounds. The ligand act in a tridentate manner and coordinates to the metal ions through N azomethine , O phenolic and S thiol functionalities. On the premise of their spectral and physico-analytical data; octahedral geometry for complex 2 and 3, while square planar and tetrahedral geometry for complex 4 and 5 was proposed. Theoretical calculations of the synthesized compounds have been performed by using density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP method and parameters such as HOMO-LUMO energy values and MESP were calculated. In vitro examinations against α-amylase and α-glucosidase reveal promising results for the compounds. Nickel (II) complex(3) against α-amylase and zinc (II) complex (5) against α-glucosidase were found to be good inhibitors. Molecular docking experiments against the receptors 1BSI and 5ZCC were done to support the observation and considerable

Some novel benzimidazole‐tethered 1,2,3‐triazole derivatives (4a–r) were synthesized by a click reaction between 2‐substituted 1‐(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yl)‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole and in situ azide. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic studies (one‐ and two‐dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and high‐resolution mass spectra). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antidiabetic activity. Compounds 4a–r exhibited a good‐to‐moderate α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase inhibitory activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.0410 to 0.0916 µmol/ml and 0.0146 to 0.0732 µmol/ml, respectively. Compounds 4e, 4g, and 4n were found to be most active. Furthermore, the binding conformation of the most active compounds was ascertained by docking studies.
