Abstract

Compound 4e exhibited an IC50 value of 2.59 μM for α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition.

  • The new library of thiazolidine-4-one molecular hybrids was synthesized through a one-pot multicomponent reaction.
  • In vitro evaluations indicated that compound 4e showed superior antidiabetic activity compared to the standard inhibitor acarbose.
  • The study found that the structure and position of substituents on the phenyl rings significantly influenced the inhibitory potency.
  • Antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of the synthesized compounds were also assessed.
