Abstract:
Multicomponent reactions (MCR) are power tools in modern
organic synthesis. These reactions have many advantages over
single component reactions, including saving time and chemicals. Moreover, compounds with complicated structures can
be synthesized based on simple substrates and one-step
reactions, without the tedious work of separating intermediate
compounds. Taking full advantage of this tool, over the past
10 years we have synthesized novel crown compounds with
the successful introduction of different bioactive moieties into
molecules. As part of our ongoing research, this study reports
on the synthesis of a new type of crown ether based on a three
component reaction of an aldehyde, a ketone, and ammonium
acetate in dry solvent, at specific temperature. The structure of
the new compounds was identified using physical-chemical
methods of analysis including IR, 1H & 13CNMR, HRMS and
single-X ray diffraction. The effects of the newly synthesized
azacrown ethers on the enzyme α-glucosidase were then
explored and they were shown to be potential candidates in
the search for new antidiabetic drugs. Among five tested
compounds, two compounds are active again the enzyme α-glucosidase and expressed IC50 values of 407.17 ± 9.01 μM and
345.90±6.75 μM. Molecular docking studies were also performed to investigate the binding mode of the synthetic
compounds to α-glucosidase. Finally, ADMET parameters were
assessed to investigate the relationship between structure and
biological activities.
