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.

Twenty-one novel quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against the PC3 prostate cancer cell line. Structural characterization was performed using FTIR, NMR, and HRMS spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity assays revealed that compound 1 exhibited the highest potency (IC = 4.

A series of novel glitazones containing thiazolidine-2,4-dione and quinazolin-4(3H)-one moieties were synthesized to explore their potential as dual inhibitors of aldose reductase (ALR2) and α-glucosidase (α-Glu), two key enzymes involved in diabetes and its complications. 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.

The rising incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its related complications has created an urgent need for new therapeutic approaches. 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.

In this study, a series of 16 arylidene hydrazide derivatives (7a-7p), hybridized with the natural product carvacrol, were successfully synthesized starting from anthranilic acid methyl ester. The cytotoxic effects of these compounds were examined against two different cell lines, A549 and BEAS-2B. Additionally, in silico studies were conducted to investigate the ligand-protein binding modes and their stabilities.

In this study, we synthesized 15 novel quinazoline-morpholinobenzylideneamino hybrid compounds from methyl anthranilate and we assessed their cytotoxicity via in vitro assays against A549 and BEAS-2B cell lines. Molecular docking studies were conducted to evaluate the protein-ligand interactions and inhibition mechanisms on nine different molecular targets, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to assess the stability of the best docked ligand-protein complexes. Additionally, ADME prediction was carried out to determine physicochemical parameters and drug likeness.
