“…All the synthetic compounds 6a – 6p were screened for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity ( Table 1 ). The results were shown that all the tested compounds displayed potent to moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC 50 ranging from 5.36 ± 0.13 to 35.76 ± 0.31 μm more potent than the standard drug acarbose (IC 50 = 817.38 ± 6.27 μm [ 17 , 36 ]). Among the series, compounds 6a , 6g , 6h , 6i , 6j , 6l , 6m , 6n , and 6p displayed potent inhibitory activity with IC 50 values of 6.87 ± 0.14, 5.98 ± 0.12, 6.12 ± 0.15, 7.51 ± 0.17, 6.51 ± 0.13, 8.33 ± 0.18, 7.17 ± 0.15, 6.36 ± 0.12, and 5.36 ± 0.13 μm.…”
