Abstract

A series of fourteen novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives clubbed with pyrazole moiety were synthesized via four step reaction procedure. Reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography and were characterized by physicochemical and spectrophotometric (IR, Mass, 1HNMR and 13CNMR) analysis. The spectral data were in good agreement with their structures. The title compounds were docked against peroxisome proliferated activated receptors (PPAR-γ) and alpha-amylase and further evaluated for in vivo and in vitro antidiabetic, in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Compound GB14 exhibited significant blood glucose lowering activity and was also found to be active inhibitor of alpha-amylase. Compound GB7 was found to be potent anti-inflammatory agent in terms of reducing inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-β, MDA) and also showed antioxidant activity to good extent. Therefore, these compounds may be considered as promising candidates for the development of new antidiabetic agents.
