A small series of thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione and barbituric acid derivatives 1–4 was prepared using a short synthetic route, and all compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and NMR (1H, 13C) spectroscopy. Their in vitro relative expression of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor &agr1; and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor &ggr1; was evaluated. Compound 1 showed an increase in the mRNA expression of both peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor isoforms, as well as the GLUT‐4 levels. The antidiabetic activity of compound 1 was determined at 50 mg/kg single dose using a non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus rat model. The results indicated a significant decrease in plasma glucose levels. Additionally, we performed a molecular docking of compound 1 into the ligand binding pocket of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor &agr1; and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor &ggr1;. In these binding models, compound 1 may bind into the active site of both isoforms showing important short contacts with the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor &ggr1; residues: Tyr 473, His 449, Ser 289, His 323; and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α residues: Tyr 464, His 440, Ser 280 and Tyr 314.
