Abstract
A library of imidazole-thiadiazole compounds (1-24) was synthesized to explore their therapeutic applications. The compounds were subjected to meticulous in vitro evaluation against α-glucosidase, α-amylase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. Compounds were also investigated for antioxidant activities using cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Derivatives 5-7, 9-11, 18, and 19 displayed potent inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 1.4 ± 0.01 to 13.6 ± 0.01 and 0.9 ± 0.01 to 12.8 ± 0.02 µM against α-glucosidase, and α-amylase enzymes, respectively, compared to the standard acarbose (IC50 = 14.8 ± 0.01 µM). Compounds 11-13, 16, 20, and 21 exhibited potent activity IC50 = 8.6 ± 0.02 to 34.7 ± 0.03 µM against AChE enzyme, compared to donepezil chloride (IC50 = 39.2 ± 0.05 µM). Compound 21 demonstrated comparable inhibition IC50 = 45.1 ± 0.09 µM against BChE, compared to donepezil chloride (IC50 = 44.2 ± 0.05 µM). All compounds also demonstrated excellent antioxidant activities via CUPRAC, FRAP, and DPPH methods. Complementing the experimental studies, extensive kinetics, ADME/T, and molecular docking analysis were also conducted to unravel the pharmacokinetics and safety profiles of the designed compounds. These studies supported the experimental findings and facilitated the prioritization of hit candidates for subsequent stages of drug development.

Abstract
A new series of quinoxaline-sulfonamide derivatives 3-12 were synthesized using fragment-based drug design by reaction of quinoxaline sulfonyl chloride (QSC) with different amines and hydrazines. The quinoxaline-sulfonamide derivatives were evaluated for antidiabetic and anti-Alzheimer's potential against α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and acetylcholinesterase enzymes. These derivatives showed good to moderate potency against α-amylase and α-glucosidase with inhibitory percentages between 24.34 ± 0.01%-63.09 ± 0.02% and 28.95 ± 0.04%-75.36 ± 0.01%, respectively. Surprisingly, bis-sulfonamide quinoxaline derivative 4 revealed the most potent activity with inhibitory percentages of 75.36 ± 0.01% and 63.09 ± 0.02% against α-glucosidase and α-amylase compared to acarbose (IP = 57.79 ± 0.01% and 67.33 ± 0.01%), respectively. Moreover, the quinoxaline derivative 3 exhibited potency as α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory with a minute decline from compound 4 and acarbose with inhibitory percentages of 44.93 ± 0.01% and 38.95 ± 0.01%. Additionally, in vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity for designed derivatives exhibited weak to moderate activity. Still, sulfonamide-quinoxaline derivative 3 emerged as the most active member with inhibitory percentage of 41.92 ± 0.02% compared with donepezil (IP = 67.27 ± 0.60%). The DFT calculations, docking simulation, target prediction, and ADMET analysis were performed and discussed in detail.

Abstract
Existing drugs that are being used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus are associated with several side effects; thus, exploring potential drug candidates is still an utter need these days. Hybrids of indenoquinoxaline and hydrazide have never been explored as antidiabetic agents. In this study, a series of new indenoquinoxaline-phenylacrylohydrazide hybrids (1-30) were synthesized, structurally characterized, and evaluated for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, as well as for their antioxidant properties. All scaffolds exhibited varying degrees of inhibitory activity against both enzymes, with IC50 values ranging from 2.34 to 61.12 μM for α-amylase and 0.42 to 54.72 μM for α-glucosidase. Particularly, compounds 10, 16, 17, 18, 24, and 25 demonstrated the highest efficacy in inhibiting α-amylase, while compounds 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 13, 16, 17, 18, 24, and 25 were the most effective α-glucosidase inhibitors, compared to standard acarbose. Moreover, most of these compounds displayed substantial antioxidant potential compared to standard butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Kinetics studies revealed competitive inhibition modes by compounds. Furthermore, a comprehensive in silico study and toxicity prediction were also conducted, further validating these analogs as potential drug candidates. The structured compounds demonstrated enhanced profiles, underscoring their potential as primary candidates in drug discovery.

Abstract
New phenylisoxazole quinoxalin-2-amine hybrids 5a-i were successfully synthesised with yields of 53-85% and characterised with various spectroscopy methods. The synthesised hybrids underwent in vitro α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory assays, with acarbose as the positive control. Through the biological study, compound 5h exhibits the highest α-amylase inhibitory activity with IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.1 μM while compounds 5a-c, 5e and 5h exhibit great potential as α-glucosidase inhibitors, with 5c being the most potent (IC50 = 15.2 ± 0.3 μM). Among the compounds, 5h exhibits potential as a dual inhibitor for both α-amylase (IC50 = 16.4 ± 0.1 μM) and α-glucosidase (IC50 = 31.6 ± 0.4 μM) enzymes. Through the molecular docking studies, the inhibition potential of the selected compounds is supported. Compound 5h showed important interactions with α-amylase enzyme active sites and exhibited the highest binding energy of -8.9 ± 0.10 kcal mol-1, while compound 5c exhibited the highest binding energy of -9.0 ± 0.20 kcal mol-1 by forming important interactions with the α-glucosidase enzyme active sites. The molecular dynamics study showed that the selected compounds exhibited relative stability when binding with α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. Additionally, compound 5h demonstrated a similar pattern of motion and mechanism of action as the commercially available miglitol.

Abstract
N-substitued anthranilic acid derivatives are commonly found in the structure of many biologically active molecules. In this study, new members of hydrazones derived from anthranilic acid (1-15) were synthesized and investigated their effect on some metabolic enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and α-glycosidase (α-Gly). Results indicated that all the molecules exhibited potent inhibitory effects against all targets as compared to the standard inhibitors, revealed by IC50 values. Ki values of compounds for AChE, BChE, and α-Gly enzymes were obtained in the ranges 66.36 ± 8.30-153.82 ± 13.41, 52.68 ± 6.38-113.86, and 2.13 ± 0.25-2.84 nM, respectively. The molecular docking study was performed for the most active compounds to the determination of ligand-enzyme interactions. Binding affinities of the most active compound were found at the range of -9.70 to -9.00 kcal/mol for AChE, -11.60 to -10.60 kcal/mol for BChE, and -10.30 to -9.30 kcal/mol for α-Gly. Molecular docking simulations showed that the novel compounds had preferential interaction with AChE, BChE, and α-Gly. Drug-likeness properties and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) analyzes of all synthesized compounds (1-15) were estimated and their toxic properties were evaluated as well as their therapeutic properties. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to understand the accuracy of the most potent derivatives of docking studies.

Abstract
In our effort to develop potent anti-hyperglycemic compounds with inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, a series of novel quinoxaline-isoxazole moieties were synthesized. The novel quinoxaline-isoxazole derivatives were assessed in vitro for their anti-hyperglycemic activities on α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitions. The results revealed promising IC50 values compared to acarbose as a positive control for α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Among them, N-Ethyl-7-chloro-3-((3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)methoxy)quinoxalin-2-amine 5b showed dual inhibitory with IC50 of 24.0 µM for α-amylase and 41.7 µM for α-glucosidase. In addition, N-Ethyl-7-methoxy-3-((3-(2-chlorophenyl)isoxazol-5-yl)methoxy)quinoxalin-2-amine 5j also had dual bioactivities against α-amylase and α-glucosidase with IC50 of 17.0 and 40.1 µM, respectively. Nevertheless, two more compounds N-Ethyl-7-cyano-3-((3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)methoxy)quinoxaline-2-amine 5e showed strong mono-inhibition for α-glucosidase with IC50 of 16.6 µM followed by N-Ethyl-7-methoxy-3-((3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)methoxy)quinoxalin-2-amine 5 f with IC50 of 18.6 µM. The molecular docking study for α-glucosidase inhibitor provided the binding energy ranging from 8.3 to 9.1 kcal/mol and α-amylase inhibitor showed the binding energy score at 8.4 and 8.5 kcal/mol. The dual inhibitions nature of 5b and 5j were further analyzed and confirmed via molecular dynamics including the stability of the compound, interaction energy, binding free energy, and the interaction residue analysis using the MM-GBSA approach. The results showed that compound 5j was the most potent compound. Lastly, the drug-likeness properties were also evaluated with all synthesized compounds 5a-5j and the results reveal that all potent compounds meet Lipinski's rules of five.

Abstract
Background: Researchers seeking new drug candidates to treat diabetes mellitus have been exploring bioactive molecules found in nature, particularly tetrahydropyridines (THPs). Methods: A library of THPs (1-31) were synthesized via a one-pot multicomponent reaction and investigated for their inhibition potential against α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes. Results: A nitrophenyl-substituted compound 5 with IC50 values of 0.15 ± 0.01 and 1.10 ± 0.04 μM, and a Km value of 1.30 mg/ml was identified as the most significant α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitor, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed the competitive mode of inhibition, and docking studies revealed that compound 5 binds to the enzyme by establishing hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions and a salt bridge interaction with His279. Conclusion: These molecules may be a potential drug candidate for diabetes in the future.

Abstract
In this work, a novel series of pyridazine-triazole hybrid molecules were prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of rat intestinal α-glucosidase enzyme. Amongst all newly synthesized compounds, 10k showed good inhibition in the series with IC50 value of 1.7 µM which is 100 folds stronger than positive control, acarbose. The cytotoxicity revealed that this compound is not toxic against normal cell line, HDF. The docking studies showed that triazole ring plays an important role in the binding interactions with the active site. The insertion of compound 10k into the active pocket of α-glucosidase and formation of hydrogen bonds with Leu677 was observed from docking studies. The kinetic studies revealed that this compound has uncompetitive mode of inhibition against α-glucosidase enzyme.

Abstract
A library of 2-oxopyridine carbonitriles 1-34 was synthesized by regioselective nucleophilic substitution reactions. In the first step, a one-pot multicomponent reaction yield pyridone intermediates. The resulting pyridone intermediates were then reacted with phenacyl halides in DMF and stirred at 100 °C for an hour to afford the desired compounds in good yields.

Bioevaluation of synthetic pyridones as dual inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes and potential antioxidants. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2023; 356:e2200400.

Abstract
Herein, a library of novel pyridone derivatives 1-34 was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory as well as antioxidant activities. Pyridone derivatives 1-34 were synthesized via a one-pot multi-component reaction of variously substituted aromatic aldehydes, acetophenone, ethyl cyanoacetate, and ammonium acetate in absolute ethanol. Synthetic compounds 1-34 were structurally characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. Most of the tested compounds showed more promising inhibition potential than the standard acarbose (IC50 = 14.87 ± 0.16 µM) but compounds 13 and 12 were found to be the most potent compounds with IC50 values of 9.20 ± 0.14 µM and 3.05 ± 0.18 µM against α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, respectively. Compounds 1-34 also displayed moderate antioxidant potential in the range of IC50 = 96.50 ± 0.45 to 189.98 ± 1.00 µM in comparison to the control butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (IC50 = 66.50 ± 0.36 µM), in DPPH radical scavenging activities. Additionally, all synthetic derivatives were subjected to a molecular docking study to investigate the interaction details of compounds 1-34 (ligands) with the active site of enzymes (receptors). These results indicate that the newly synthesized pyridone class may serve as promising lead candidates for controlling diabetes mellitus and as antioxidants.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a serious global health concern, and this is expected to impact more than 300 million people by 2025. The current study focuses on identifying substituted indolin-2-one-based inhibitors for two indispensable drug targets, α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Methods: The structures of synthetic compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques and evaluated for enzyme inhibition activities. Kinetic and in silico studies were also performed. Results: All compounds exhibited good-to-moderate inhibitory potential. Most importantly, compounds 1, 2, 6, 16 and 17 were identified as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors (IC50 = 9.15 ± 0.12-13.74 ± 0.12 μM). Conclusion: This study identified that these synthetic compounds might serve as potential lead molecules for antidiabetic agents.

Abstract
A library of hydrazinyl thiazole-linked indenoquinoxaline hybrids 1-36 were synthesized via a multistep reaction scheme. All synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including EI-MS (electron ionization mass spectrometry) and 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy). Compounds 1-36 were evaluated for their inhibitory potential against α-amylase, and α-glucosidase enzymes. Among thirty-six, compounds 2, 9, 10, 13, 15, 17, 21, 22, 31, and 36 showed excellent inhibition against α-amylase (IC50 = 0.3-76.6 μM) and α-glucosidase (IC50 = 1.1-92.2 μM). Results were compared to the standard acarbose (IC50 = 13.5 ± 0.2 μM). All compounds were also evaluated for their DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and compounds 2, 9, 10, 17, 21, 31, and 36 showed (SC50 = 7.58-125.86 μM) as compared to the standard ascorbic acid (SC50 = 21.50 ± 0.18 μM). Among this library, compounds 9 and 10 with a hydroxy group on the phenyl rings and thiosemicarbazide bearing intermediate 21 were identified as the most potent inhibitors against α-amylase, and α-glucosidase enzymes. The remaining compounds were found to be moderately active. The molecular docking studies were conducted to understand the binding mode of active inhibitors and kinetic studies of the active compounds followed competitive modes of inhibition.
