The impact of diabetes and its complications on individuals is profound, leading to severe health issues and reduced quality of life. This study aimed the design, synthesis, and evaluation of new quinazolin-4(3H)-one-thiazolidine-2,4-dione hybrids as dual inhibitors targeting α-glycosidase (α-Gly) and aldose reductase (ALR2), two key enzymes implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. Thirteen compounds were synthesized and characterized using FTIR, NMR, and HRMS.

In vitro assays revealed that compounds 8 (cyclohexyl substituted), 9 (phenethyl substituted), and 11 (phenyl substituted) exhibited potent inhibitory effects on both enzymes, with 11 being the most active, showing an ALR2 inhibition (K = 0.106 µM) approximately nine times more effective than the standard epalrestat (EPR) (K = 0.

We herein describe the synthesis as well as biological investigation of a series of sixteen new phenolic Mannich base derivatives of thiazolidine-2,4-dione as α-glucosidase (α-Glu) and aldose reductase (ALR2) inhibitors, two crucial enzymes involved in T2DM and its complications. In vitro assays showed strong inhibitory activities, compound 12 (tetrahydroisoquinoline and α-methylcinnamyl substituted) exhibited the strongest inhibition of ALR2 (K: 0.

This study reports the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of eighteen novel quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives incorporating a 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzylidene moiety as ALR2 inhibitors. Among the synthesized compounds, the cyclohexyl-substituted derivative (compound 9) exhibited the highest potency as a competitive ALR2 inhibitor, with a K of 0.

However, due to the effects of the active polyol pathway, AR overexpression in the hyperglycemic state leads to microvascular and macrovascular diabetic problems.
