A novel series of N-arylbenzo[d]oxazol-2-amines (4a-4m) were synthesized and evaluated for their alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 4f-4i, 4k and 4m displayed potent inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase with IC50 values in the range of 32.49 +/- 0.17-120.24 +/- 0.51 mu M as compared to the standard drug acarbose. Among all tested compounds, compound 4g having 4-phenoxy substitution at the phenyl ring was found to be the most active inhibitor of ot-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 32.49 +/- 0.17 mu M. Analysis of the kinetics of enzyme inhibition indicated that compound 4g is a noncompetitive inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase with a K-i value of 31.33 mu M. Binding interaction of compound 4g with alpha-glucosidase was explored by molecular docking simulation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
