UNDERPINNING ARYLIDENE-2,4 THIAZOLIDINEDIONES AS ANTIDIABETIC AGENTS Authors: Kushwaha SP , HASAN SM*, SINGH K, SHAFIURRAHMAN AND BANO J
ABSTRACT
People suffering from diabetes are not able to produce enough insulin and/or properly use it in
the body, thus they have a high level of blood glucose. It is associated with decreased insulin
secretion, increased peripheral (muscle, fat, liver) insulin resistance. It has been observed that
treatment of type II diabetes is generally focused on the control of hyperglycemia even though
80% of diabetic patients die from macrovascular complications of the disease. Arylidene-2,4
thiazolidinedione structure is common in a variety of agents, however they differ in side chain
modifications which influence their pharmacological actions. Synthesis of arylidene-2,4-
thiazolidinedione generally involves reaction between chloroacetic acid and thiourea to form 2,4-
thiazolidinedione followed by base mediated substitution at nitrogen and condensation reaction at
methylene carbon. Arylidene-2,4 thiazolidinedione as aldose reductase inhibitor prevent or slow
the action of aldose reductase leading to prevention or delay of complications of diabetes.
Arylidene-2,4 thiazolidinedione has been evaluated as inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases
1B. Investigation of antidiabetic activity of series of 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives for their
loss of plasma glucose lowering activity has been performed.
