Abstract

studies using glucose intolerance and alloxan-induced diabetic models. The selected compounds showed a substantial improvement in blood glucose control with high potency compared to the standard therapy. Compound 8g exhibited the strongest antihyperglycemic effect, reducing blood glucose levels by 38.76% in the alloxan-induced diabetic rat model and maintaining significant glucose-lowering activity for up to 4 hours in the oral glucose tolerance test. Safety assessment, including cytotoxicity evaluation on normal cell line Wi-38 cells and subacute toxicity studies in mice, revealed that compounds 8g, 12d, and 12e exhibited no observable toxicity in mice, with all hepatic, renal, and cardiac biomarkers remaining within normal limits. These compounds would stand out as potential antidiabetic agents. Furthermore, molecular docking, integrated with molecular dynamics, showed strong binding affinities with key amino acids.
