Abstract
Different series of novel tri-substituted pyrazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. All the evaluated compounds showed fluctuating effects against both α-glucosidase and α-amylase with IC50= 170.7 ± 5.24 to 2704.0 ± 2.32 uM and 60.37 ± 3.55 to 353.70 ± 3.95 uM as compared to standard acarbose (IC50 = 558.0 ± 6.83 uM) and (IC50 = 90.54 ± 5.11 uM), respectively. Obviously, compound 10 presented the strongest inhibitory activities among all evaluated compounds. It showed approximately 3-fold and 1.5-fold more potent against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, respectively, than standard. Interestingly, kinetic studies were performed for compound 10 to determine the target inhibiting mode. Furthermore, molecular modeling and ADME properties were also scrutinized to predict the binding mode of compound 10 and prove its stability in the enzymes binding pockets.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
