In this study, a pyridazine derivative (PDZ-1) was synthesized and characterized by using 13C NMR, 1H NMR, FT-IR, UV–Vis, HRMS-ESI and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Density functional theory methods at the B3LYP/6–311++G** level of theory predict very good correlations in the geometrical parameters and spectra when they are compared with the corresponding experimental ones. The presence of dimer explains the broad IR band due to CH···O interactions. The scaled force constants and the 75 vibration modes of PDZ-1 have been completely assigned using the scaled quantum mechanical force field (SQMFF) methodology. The deactivating character of Cl atom probably explains that the densities of pyridazine rings in both media are higher than that corresponding to chlorobenzyl, as revealed by AIM study while NBO calculations show that the derivative is most stable in gas phase than ethanol solution. Frontier orbital studies reveal that PDZ-1 is most reactive in ethanol than in the gas phase. The title compound showed a potent α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition compared to Acarbose (IC50 = 113.6 ± 1.17 µM, 124.5 ± 0.64 µM, respectively) with IC50 values of 17.32 ± 0.76 and 109.41± 0.87 µM, respectively. In addition, molecular docking studies were performed to determine the binding modes and energies between PDZ-1 and the target enzymes.
