Özet

This manuscript reports the synthesis, X-ray characterization and antihyperglycemic potential of two isobenzofuranone derivatives. The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 5-bromoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one H )-one with phenylboronic acid and p-tolylboronic acid under the action of palladium catalysis afforded the desired compounds in good yields. The structures were fully established using FTIR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The study further delves into the synergistic effects of hydrogen bonding and C-H...it interactions on the supramolecular assemblies of isobenzofuranones, leveraging a holistic approach that combines X-ray crystallography, Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis, and evaluation of antihyperglycemic activity. Focusing on two isobenzofuranone derivatives, we meticulously elucidate their structural features and how noncovalent interactions shape their crystal packing. Our exploration extends to assessing the antihyperglycemic potential of these compounds, underpinned by alpha-glucosidase inhibitory assays and augmented by molecular docking analysis. Compound 3b showed the best potency with an IC50 50 value of 13 +/- 0.01 mu M which is 67-folds strong inhibition than acarbose (IC50 50 = 870.2 +/- 1.54 mu M). Furthermore, the admetSAR and ProTox-II demonstrated that compound 3b follows the druggable criteria with a safe toxicity profile. Overall, these findings highlight the pivotal role of noncovalent interactions in modulating the supramolecular architectures of isobenzofuranones, thereby offering insights into their therapeutic potential against diabetes mellitus.
