Abstract

Α-glucosidase inhibition can be useful in the management of carbohydrate-related diseases, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, in this study, a new series of 6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine bearing different aryl triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors. The most potent derivative in this group was 7h bearing para-fluorine with IC50 values of 98.0 ± 0.3 µM compared with standard drug acarbose (IC50 value = 750.0 ± 10.5 μM). A kinetic study of compound 7h revealed that it is a competitive inhibitor against α-glucosidase. Molecular dynamic simulations of the most potent derivative were also executed and indicated suitable interactions with residues of the Enzyme which rationalized the in vitro results.
