Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disorder, considered to be a major global health challenge in the 21st century. α-Glucosidase enzyme is a well-known drug target to treat Type II DM. Methods: A new library of biphenyl-substituted triazines was synthesized and confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques. Results: All compounds showed potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with IC50 values ranging from 35.35 ± 0.34 to 564.41 ± 0.91 μM, as the standard acarbose, IC50 value of 750.7 ± 0.13 μM. Our in silico study has predicted key interactions with the enzyme's active site. Drug-likeness and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity were also studied. Conclusion: This study has identified a range of potential hits against the α-glucosidase enzyme that may serve as antidiabetic agents after further investigations. © 2023 Newlands Press.
