Deskripsi

A new class of triazinoindole-bearing thiosemicarbazides (<b>1</b>&#8722;<b>25</b>) was synthesized and evaluated for &#945;-glucosidase inhibitory potential. All synthesized analogs exhibited excellent inhibitory potential, with IC<sub>50</sub> values ranging from 1.30 &#177; 0.01 to 35.80 &#177; 0.80 &#956;M when compared to standard acarbose (an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 38.60 &#177; 0.20 &#956;M). Among the series, analogs <b>1</b> and <b>23</b> were found to be the most potent, with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 1.30 &#177; 0.05 and 1.30 &#177; 0.01 &#956;M, respectively. The structure&#8722;activity relationship (SAR) was mainly based upon bringing about different substituents on the phenyl rings. To confirm the binding interactions, a molecular docking study was performed.
