Abstract

The synthesized benzothiazole based thiazolidinone derivatives exhibited α-amylase inhibitory activities with IC values ranging from 3.60 ± 0.10 µM to 19.30 ± 0.20 µM.

  • These derivatives were designed to potentially inhibit carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes linked to type 2 diabetes management.
  • Inhibitory activities for α-glucosidase ranged from 4.40 ± 0.20 µM to 20.60 ± 0.40 µM.
  • Compound 9, characterized by a trifluoromethyl group, demonstrated significant binding interaction indicating high potency.
  • Molecular docking studies suggested insights into how these analogs interact with the target enzymes.
  • ADMET analysis indicated the drug-likeness of the most potent compounds.
