A library of conjugates of chromones and 2,4-thiazolidinedione has been synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation followed by reduction using hydrogen gas and Pd/C as a catalyst. Compounds 5c and 5e were most effective in lowering the blood glucose level comparable to standard drug pioglitazone. Compound 5e exhibited potent PPAR-gamma transactivation of 48.72% in comparison to pioglitazone (62.48%). All the molecules showed good glide score against the PPAR-gamma target in molecular docking study. PPAR-gamma gene expression was significantly increased by compound 5e (2.56-fold) in comparison to standard drug pioglitazone. Compounds 5e and 5c did not cause any damage to the liver and may be considered as promising candidates for the development of new antidiabetic agents. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
