Synthesis, structural characterizationanddocking studies of sulfamoyl-
phenyl acid esters as dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors
D
iabetes mellitus is a major worldwide health concern that has several
serious complications including retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and
macrovascular diseases. Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, gliptins,
are a new class of antidiabetic agents that potentiates the action of incretins
in decreasing the blood glucose levels. In the present study, synthesis and
characterization of a series of 10 N4-sulfonamido-acrylic and phthalamic acid
methyl esters (3a-e and 5a-e) were achieved.
In vitro
anti-DPP-IV activity of
the synthesized compounds was evaluated, where compound 3b demonstrated
the best activity with a percent (%) inhibition of 41.7 at 10 μM concentrations
and an IC50 of 23.9 μM. Moreover, Glide docking experiments revealed that our
targeted compounds accommodate the binding site of DPP-IV and tend to form
H-bonding with the backbones of R125, E206, S209, D545, K554, W629, Y631
and G632. Modeling findings recommend the attachment of bulky hydrophobic
group on the ester side of the structure in addition to harboring extra aromatic
rings that might be beneficial for better binding interaction and biological activity.
