| Summary: | The development of drugs resistance in diabetes mellitus is a growing clinical problem, creates many challenges for patient. To overcome these problems, there is a serious deficiency of anti-diabetic agents, may be synthesized that inhibit alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase activity. Here, we have design and synthesized benzoxazole based sulphonamide derivatives and evaluated for their anti-diabetic activity. Twenty-two benzoxazole based sulphonamide derivatives were synthesized by reacting 2-aminophenol with carbon disulphide in the presence of base (Et3N) to obtained 2-marcapto benzoxazole which was further dissolved in ethanol by slow addition of different substituted phenacyl bromide in the presence of triethylamine, afforded varied S-substituted benzoxazole products. These products were dissolved in ethanol and hydrazine hydrate was added an excess in the presence of acetic acid to gives Schiff base. This Schiff base products were further dissolved in THF along with different substituted benzene sulphonyl chloride followed by addition of few drops of Et3N, yielded benzoxazole based sulphonamide derivatives (1–22). Moreover, SAR was established for the synthesized compounds and molecular docking studies were conducted for the potent moieties in order to explore the binding modalities of analogs. Among the tested series few analogues were found few folds better potential than standard drug but analog 1 (IC50 = 1.10 ± 0.20 µM, 1.20 ± 0.30 µM), showed promising anti-diabetic activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase (11.12 ± 0.15 µM and 11.29 ± 0.07 µM respectively). © 2022 The Author(s)
