Synthesis, molecular docking and α-glucosidase inhibition of 5-aryl-2-(6′-nitrobenzofuran-2′-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

Twenty derivatives of 5-aryl-2-(6′-nitrobenzofuran-2′-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (1–20) were synthesized and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Compounds containing hydroxyl and halogens (1–6, and 8–18) were found to be five to seventy folds more active with IC50 values in the range...
