However, within the series, compound 15 showed the most active inhibition with IC50 of 25.05 ± 0.38 μM. The SAR studies showed that the introduction of the trifluoromethylbenzene sulfonamide on para position of ring A and methoxy group on para position on ring B seems to exert a positive influence on the DPP-4 inhibition activity of compound 15.

description Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease occurred worldwide and is currently a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Several drugs such as sulfonylureas and biguanides are presently available to reduce hyperglycemia in T2DM patients, however, these medicines possess several side effects and thus searching for a new class of compounds is essential to overcome this problem.
