Docking study, molecular dynamic, synthesis, anti-α-glucosidase assessment, and ADMET prediction of new benzimidazole-Schiff base derivatives.

The control of postprandial hyperglycemia is an important target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). As a result, targeting α-glucosidase as the most important enzyme in the breakdown of carbohydrates to glucose that leads to an increase in postprandial hyperglycemia is one of the treatment processes of T2DM. In the present work, a new class of benzimidazole-Schiff base hybrids 8a-p has been developed based on the potent reported α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Design, synthesis, and molecular docking studies of diphenylquinoxaline-6-carbohydrazide hybrids as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors.

A novel series of diphenylquinoxaline-6-carbohydrazide hybrids 7a-o were rationally designed and synthesized as anti-diabetic agents. All synthesized compounds 7a-o were screened as possible α-glucosidase inhibitors and exhibited good inhibitory activity with IC values in the range of 110.6 ± 6.
