Abstract
A novel series of thiazolidine-2,4-diones was designed, synthesized and investigated for anti-diabetic activity. The (2,4-dioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-5-yl)methylphenylbenzamide derivatives contain an amide linkage between the central aryl ring and the hydrophobic tail. Structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental (C, H, N) analysis. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vivo pharmacological activity (blood glucose and triglyceride lowering activity), where compounds thiazolidinediones-C and thiazolidinediones-E showed significant effects, comparable to the standard pioglitazone. Computational studies positively substantiated the nature and interaction of the designed compounds with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
