A series of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione or rhodanine derivatives (, ) were synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The majority of compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity in the range of 5.44 ± 0.13 to 50.45 ± 0.39 μM, when compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC = 817.38 ± 6.27 μM). Among the compounds in the series, compounds ,, ,, and showed potent inhibitory potential with IC values of 20.95 ± 0.21, 16.11 ± 0.19, 7.72 ± 0.16, 7.91 ± 0.17, 6.59 ± 0.15 and 5.44 ± 0.13 μM, respectively. Compound (IC = 5.44 ± 0.13 μM), containing chloro and rhodanine groups at the 2- and 4-positions of the phenyl ring respectively, was found to be the most active compound that inhibits α-glucosidase activity. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed to understand the binding interactions between the molecule and enzyme.

Benzothiazole-triazole derivatives 6a–6s have been synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. All synthetic compounds were screened for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity by using Baker’s yeast α-glucosidase enzyme. The majority of compounds exhibited a varying degree of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values between 20.7 and 61.1 μM when compared with standard acarbose (IC50 = 817.38 μM). Among the series, compound 6s (IC50 = 20.7 μM) bearing a chlorine group at the 5-position of the benzothiazole ring and a tert-butyl group at the para position of the phenyl ring, was found to be the most active compound. Preliminary structure-activity relationships were established. Molecular docking studies were performed to predict the binding interaction of the compounds in the binding pocket of the enzyme.

A series of novel isatin-thiazole derivatives were synthesized and screened for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. These compounds displayed a varying degree of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 ranging from 5.36 ± 0.13 to 35.76 ± 0.31 μm as compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC50 = 817.38 ± 6.27 μm). Among the series, compound 6p bearing a hydroxyl group at the 4-position of the right phenyl and 2-fluorobenzyl substituent at the N1-positions of the 5-methylisatin displayed the highest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 5.36 ± 0.13 μm. Molecular docking studies revealed the existence of hydrophobic interaction, CH-π interaction, arene-anion interaction, arene-cation interaction, and hydrogen bond between these compounds and α-glucosidase enzyme.
