Abstract

1,2,3-triazole-based ring connected with pyridazine, triazine, methyl pyrazole, diphenyl pyrazole, and pthalimide moieties through propylene linker have been synthesized for antidiabetic evaluation via click chemistry. The antidiabetic evaluations have been done by molecular docking studies and in- vitro tests and against the DPP-4 enzyme. The molecular docking studies have revealed that compounds 22, 23, 29, and 30 showed hydrogen bond with the DPP-4 enzyme while in vitro tests has revealed the compound 30 has (IC50 values 12.82 nM), exhibited potent activity compared to the standard drug, sitagliptin (14.8 nM). Among the heterocyclic compounds, pthalimide and pyrazole derivatives found more potent for DPP-4 inhibitors.
