Thiazolidinediones are very important and used as a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Here, we report a convenient approach to synthesis 3-m-tolyl-5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones (TZDs) derivatives 7a-e in two steps with moderate to good yield using morpholine as a catalyst. All the structures were confirmed by their spectral IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR data. The anti-diabatic activity of all synthesized molecules is evaluated by docking with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). Preliminary flexible docking studies reveals that our compounds 7a, 7d and 7e showed better binding affinity with the protein and could be a potential candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in near future.
噻唑烷二酮是一种非常重要的药物,用于治疗2型糖尿病。在这里,我们报告了一种方便的方法,用吗啡啶作为催化剂,在两个步骤中合成3-甲基苯基-5-芳基亚甲基-2,4-噻唑烷二酮(TZDs)衍生物7a-e,产率中等到良好。所有结构均通过它们的红外光谱、1H核磁共振和13C核磁共振数据进行确认。通过与过氧化物酶体增殖激活受体-γ(PPARγ)对接来评估所有合成分子的抗糖尿病活性。初步的灵活对接研究表明,我们的化合物7a、7d和7e与蛋白质结合亲和力更好,可能成为未来治疗2型糖尿病的潜在候选药物。
