Abstract

Quinoxaline-sulfonamide derivatives exhibited inhibitory percentages against α-amylase ranging from 24.34 ± 0.01% to 75.36 ± 0.01%.

  • The bis-sulfonamide quinoxaline derivative 4 showed the highest inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase with percentages of 75.36 ± 0.01% and 63.09 ± 0.02%, respectively.
  • Acarbose demonstrated lower inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase with percentages of 57.79 ± 0.01% and 67.33 ± 0.01%.
  • Quinoxaline derivative 3 also exhibited significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase (44.93 ± 0.01%) and α-amylase (38.95 ± 0.01%).
  • In vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibition was observed in the derivatives, with compound 3 showing the highest activity at 41.92 ± 0.02%, compared to donepezil (67.27 ± 0.60%).
  • The study included computational analyses such as DFT calculations, docking simulation, target prediction, and ADMET analysis.
