Abstract

In the present study, a set of different benzoxazole derivatives has been synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate, ethoxymethylene malononitrile, NaNO2, and organic acids. Analytical instruments like proton NMR (1H), carbon NMR (13C), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and LC-MS mass spectrometry were used for structural characterization. Synthesized molecules were evaluated for In-vitro antioxidant property (DPPH assay, Total antioxidant & reducing power method) and anti-diabetic property (alpha-amylase & alpha-glucosidase assay). In silico, studies against Human pancreatic alpha-amylase (PDB ID: 3BAW) have been carried out to get the binding approach of the ligand towards the protein. The results demonstrated that compounds namely 5b, 6b, 3b and 4b had potent antioxidant and anti-diabetic activity compared with ascorbic acid and acarbose.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Anti-oxidant (DPPH assay, Total antioxidant and Reducing power) and Anti-diabetic (alpha-amylase & alpha-glucosidase assay) activities performed for synthesized molecules
  • Sulfonamide substitutions are more potent towards biological activities
  • In silico docking studies correlate with in vitro studies
  • The small three-dimensional, stable structure and its ability to form hydrogen bonding the molecules show good activity towards antioxidant and anti-diabetic
