In this study, 18 novel quinoline-based-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives were synthesized and screened for their α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. All compounds in the series except 9q showed a significant α-glucosidase inhibition with IC values in the range of 3.2 ± 0.3-185.0 ± 0.3 µM, as compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC = 750.0 ± 5.0 µM). A kinetic study indicated that compound 9d as the most potent derivative against α-glucosidase was a competitive type inhibitor. Furthermore, the molecular docking study revealed the effective binding interactions of 9d with the active site of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The results indicate that the designed compounds have the potential to be further studied as new anti-diabetic agents.
在这项研究中,合成了 18 种新型的喹啉基苯并[d]咪唑衍生物,并对其α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制潜力进行了筛选。该系列化合物中除了 9q 之外,其余化合物均表现出显著的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性,IC 值范围为 3.2 ± 0.3-185.0 ± 0.3 μM,与标准药物阿卡波糖(IC = 750.0 ± 5.0 μM)相比。动力学研究表明,化合物 9d 是对α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制作用最强的衍生物,是一种竞争性抑制剂。此外,分子对接研究表明,9d 与α-葡萄糖苷酶活性部位的有效结合相互作用。结果表明,设计的化合物具有作为新型抗糖尿病药物进一步研究的潜力。
