Synthesis, biological evaluation, and in silico studies of phenyl naphthalene-2-sulfonate derived thiosemicarbazones as potential carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

A series of novel phenyl naphthalene-2-sulfonate-based thiosemicarbazones (5a-v) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against human carbonic anhydrases I and II (hCA I and hCA II). Compounds 5d and 5p demonstrated the highest inhibitory potency, with IC values of 4.32 ± 0.

Synthesis of novel coumarin-hydrazone hybrids as α-glucosidase inhibitors and their molecular docking studies.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder and more than 90% of diabetic patients suffer from type-2 diabetes, which is characterized by hyperglycemia. α-Glucosidase inhibition has become an appropriate approach to tackle high blood glucose levels. The current study was focused on synthesizing coumarin-hydrazone hybrids (7a-i) by using facile chemical reactions.
