Abstract
Environment-benign, multicomponent synthetic methodologies are vital in modern pharmaceutical research and facilitates multi-targeted drug development via synergistic approach. Herein, we reported green and efficient synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole fused spirooxindole linked 1,2,3-triazoles using a tea waste supported copper catalyst (TWCu). The synthetic approach involves a one-pot, five-component reaction using N-propargylated isatin, hydrazine hydrate, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile/ethyl cyanoacetate and aryl azides as model substrates. Mechanistically, the reaction was found to proceed via in situ pyrazolone formation followed by Knoevenagel condensation, azide alkyne cycloaddition and Michael's addition reactions. The molecules were developed using structure-based drug design. The primary goal is to identifying anti-oxidant molecules with potential ability to modulate α-amylase and DPP4 (dipeptidyl-peptidase 4) activity. The anti-oxidant analysis, as determined via DPPH, suggested that the synthesized compounds, A6 and A10 possessed excellent anti-oxidant potential compared to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). In contrast, compounds A3, A5, A8, A9, A13, A15, and A18 were found to possess comparable anti-oxidant potential. Among these, A3 and A13 possessed potential α-amylase inhibitory activity compared to the acarbose, and A3 further emerged as dual inhibitors of both DPP4 and α-amylase with anti-oxidant potential. The relationship of functionalities on their anti-oxidant and enzymatic inhibition was explored in context to their SAR that was further corroborated using in silico techniques and enzyme kinetics.

Abstract
Aim: To synthesize novel more potent anti-diabetic agents. Methodology: A simple cost effective Hantzsch's synthetic strategy was used to synthesize 2-(2-arylidenehydrazinyl)thiazol-4(5H)-ones. Results: Fifteen new 2-(2-arylidenehydrazinyl)thiazol-4(5H)-ones were established to check their anti-diabetic potential. From alpha(α)-amylase inhibition, anti-glycation and anti-oxidant activities it is revealed that most of the compounds possess good anti-diabetic potential. All tested compounds were found to be more potent anti-diabetic agents via anti-glycation mode. The results of α-amylase and anti-oxidant inhibition revealed that compounds are less active against α-amylase and anti-oxidant assays. Conclusion: This study concludes that introduction of various electron withdrawing groups at the aryl ring and substitution of different functionalities around thiazolone nucleus could help to find out better anti-diabetic drug.

Abstract
Aim: To develop an efficient and cost-effective antidiabetic agent. Methods: A simple and convenient Hantzsch synthetic strategy was used to prepare 4-adamantyl-(2-(arylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazoles. Results: Fifteen newly established structures of 4-adamantyl-(2-(arylidene)hydrazinyl)thiazoles were tested for their α-amylase, antiglycation and antioxidant activities. Almost all tested compounds showed excellent α-amylase inhibition. Compounds 3a and 3j exhibited the highest potency, with IC50 values of 16.34 ± 2.67 and 16.64 ± 1.12 μM, respectively. Compounds 3c and 3i exhibited comparable antiglycation potential with the standard, aminoguanidine. The antioxidant potential of compound 3g was found to be excellent, with an IC50 value of 28.19 ± 0.2563 μM. The binding interactions of compound 3a (binding energy = -8.833 kcal/mol) with human pancreatic α-amylase identified 3a as a potent α-amylase inhibitor. Conclusion: Enrichment of established structures with more electron-donating functionalities may assist/lead to the development of more potent antidiabetic drugs.

Abstract
Hyperamylasemia is reported to be associated with numerous chronic diseases, including diabetes and cancer. Considering this fact, we developed a series of thiazole-clubbed hydrazones. The derivatives were explored for their in vitro α-amylase inhibitory activity, which was further corroborated with their anticancer assets using a panel of cancer cells, including colon cancer (HCT-116), lung cancer (A549), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231). To better understand pharmacokinetics, the synthetic derivatives were subjected to in silico ADMET prediction. The in vitro based biological investigation revealed that compared to the reference drug acarbose (IC50 = 0.21 ± 0.008 μM), all the synthesized compounds (5a-5aa) exhibited in vitro α-amylase inhibitory response in the range of IC50 values from 0.23 ± 0.003 to 0.5 ± 0.0 μM. Along with this, the proliferations of the HCT-116, A549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were inhibited when treated with the synthesized compounds. Notable cancer cell growth inhibition was observed for compounds 5e, 5f and 5y, which correlated with their α-amylase inhibition. Additionally, the kinetics investigation revealed that 5b, 5e, 5f and 5y exhibit uncompetitive inhibition. 5b was found to be the least cytotoxic and most potent α-amylase inhibitor and was further validated by absorption and fluorescence quenching technique.

Abstract
The molecular hybrid approach is very significant to combat various drug-resistant disorders. A simple, convenient, and cost-effective synthesis of thiazole-based chalcones is accomplished, using a molecular hybrid approach, in two steps. The compound 1-(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)ethanone (3) was used as the main intermediate for the synthesis of 3-(arylidene)-1-(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones (4a-f). Thin layer chromatography was used to testify the formation and purity of all synthesized compounds. Further structural confirmation of all compounds was achieved via different spectroscopic techniques (UV, FT-IR, 1 H- and 13 C-NMR) and elemental analysis. All synthesized compounds were tested for their α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant potential. The cytotoxic property of compounds was also tested with in vitro haemolytic assay. All tested compounds showed moderate to excellent α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activity. All tested compounds are found safe to use due to their less toxicity when compared to the standard Triton X. The molecular docking simulation study of all synthesized compounds was also conducted to examine the best binding interactions with human pancreatic α-amylase (pdb: 4 W93) using AutodockVina. The molecular docking results authenticated the in vitro amylase inhibition results, i.e., 3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (4e) exhibited lowest IC50 value 54.09±0.11 μM with a binding energy of -7.898 kcal/mol.

Abstract
A novel series of fluorophenyl-based thiazoles was synthesized following the Hanztsch method. All of the compounds were initially verified with physical parameters (color, melting point, retardation factor (R f)), which were further confirmed by several spectroscopic methods, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-visible), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), 1H, 13C, 19F NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The binding interactions of all compounds were studied using a molecular docking simulation approach. Furthermore, each compound was evaluated for its alpha(α)-amylase, antiglycation, and antioxidant potentials. The biocompatibility of all compounds was checked with an in vitro hemolytic assay. All synthesized scaffolds were found biocompatible with minimal lysis of human erythrocytes as compared to the standard Triton X-100. Among the tested compounds, the analogue 3h (IC50 = 5.14 ± 0.03 μM) was found to be a highly potent candidate against α-amylase as compared to the standard (acarbose, IC50 = 5.55 ± 0.06 μM). The compounds 3d, 3f, 3i, and 3k exhibited excellent antiglycation inhibition potential with their IC50 values far less than the standard amino guanidine (IC50 = 0.403 ± 0.001 mg/mL). The antidiabetic potential was further supported by docking studies. Docking studies revealed that all synthesized compounds exhibited various interactions along enzyme active sites (pi-pi, H-bonding, van der Waals) with varied binding energies.

Abstract
Cyclization of substituted thiosemicarbazones with α-bromo-4-cyanoacetophenone allows rapid single-step sustainable syntheses of 4-cyanophenyl-2-hydrazinylthiazoles libraries (30 examples, 66-79%). All show anticancer efficacy against HCT-116 and MCF-7 carcinoma cell lines with the majority being more active than cisplatin positive controls. The compounds 2-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3f) and 2-(2-((pentafluorophenyl)methylene)-hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3a') show optimal GI50 values (1.0 ± 0.1 μM and 1.7 ± 0.3 μM) against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Against colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells, (2-(2-(3-bromothiophen-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3b'), 2-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3f), 2-(2-(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3n) and 2-(2-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazole (3w) are the most active (GI50 values: 1.6 ± 0.2, 1.6 ± 0.1, 1.1 ± 0.5 and 1.5 ± 0.8 μM respectively). Control studies with MRC-5 cells indicate appreciable selectivity towards the cancer cells targeted. Significant (p < 0.005) growth inhibition and cytotoxicity effects for the thiazoles 3 were corroborated by cell count and clonogenic assays using the same cancer cell lines at 5 and 10 μM agent concentrations. Cell cycle, caspase activation and Western blot assays demonstrated that compounds 3b' and 3f induce cancer cell death via caspase-dependent apoptosis. The combination of straight forward synthesis and high activity makes the thiazoles 3 an interesting lead for further development.
