Thiazolidine-2, 4-diones and their derivatives are a well-established chemical class of compounds that express their pharmacological actions through insulin sensitization and enhanced glucose utilization in peripheral tissues. In the current research different approaches have been employed to synthesize thiazolidine-2, 4-dione derivatives and these synthesized compounds were chemically characterized for the establishment of their chemical structures. A series of thiazolidine-2, 4-dione (TZD) derivatives, Scheme 1 (3A-3V) 22 compounds, were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral analysis. The title compounds were screened for their in vitro and in vivo antidiabetic, antioxidant, and cytotoxicity studies. In vivo antihyperglycemic effect was assessed by measuring plasma glucose (PG) levels in alloxan-induced type II diabetic rat models. The synthesized TZD derivatives were evaluated for hepatotoxicity and pancreatic tissue integrity. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by the DPPH method and H2O2 method. Thiazolidinedione derivatives were subjected to predict free energy of binding towards target PPARγ, using rosiglitazone as the reference compound for molecular docking visualization through the FlexX docking program. Molecular docking studies are also performed for understanding the binding of a ligand to a receptor. The compound 3V 4-(5- (naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-2, 4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl) benzoic acid exhibited better blood glucoselowering activity than that of the standard drug rosiglitazone. Compound 3T and 3U exhibited potent antioxidant activity. Among the tested compounds for cytotoxicity using an MTT assay, compound 3H 5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2, 4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl) benzoic acid exhibited better viability and cytotoxicity activity. From selected anti-diabetic targets, the proposed derivatives exhibited better interaction with PPARγ receptor, for example, while rosiglitazone showed a docking score of -19.891 kJ/mol, compound 3V exhibited highest docking score of -31.6617 kJ/mol. Computational molecular docking study demonstrated the selectivity and provided a binding model for the further refinement of this chemotype. Therefore, this series of thiazolidine-2, 4-diones derivatives (3A-3V) have considerable importance for development as a potential antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic agents.

Background. Toxicity and untoward effects are very ostensible in most standard drugs including antipyretic agents. Searching for conceivable antipyretic drugs with minimal toxicities and side effects from traditional plants is a growing concern to date. Echinops kebericho M. (Asteraceae) is one of the most prominent traditional medicinal plants, which is frequently testified for its traditionally claimed uses of treating fever and different infectious and noninfectious disorders by traditional healers in Ethiopian folk medicine. However, this plant has not been scientifically assessed for its traditionally claimed uses. This study therefore is aimed at investigating the antipyretic and antioxidant activities of 80% methanol root extract and the derived solvent fraction of Echinops kebericho M. in mouse models. Methods. Successive solvent maceration with increased polarity was used as the method of extractions, and chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water were used as solvents. After extraction, the crude extract and its derived solvent fractions were assessed for their antipyretic activities using yeast-induced pyrexia while, the antioxidant activities were measured in vitro using the diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay method. Both the extract and solvent fractions were evaluated at the doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg for its antipyretic activities, and the antioxidant activity was evaluated at the doses of 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mg/kg. The positive control group was treated with standard drug (ASA 100 mg/kg), while normal saline-receiving groups were assigned as negative control. Result. E. kebericho crude extract along with its derived solvent fractions showed statistically significant ( p < 0.05 , 0.01, and 0.001) temperature reduction activities. The maximum percentage of temperature reduction was observed by the highest dose (400 mg/kg) of the crude extract. The aqueous fraction also showed significantly ( p < 0.05 and 0.01) higher temperature reduction than those of ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions. The free radical scavenging activities of the crude extract were also significantly high at the maximum dose, and the aqueous fraction showed the significantly highest antioxidant activity. Conclusion. In general, the data obtained from the present study clarified that the extract possessed significant antipyretic and antioxidant activities, upholding the traditionally claimed use of the plant.

Thymus leptobotrys is a medicinal plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, endemic in Morocco, and used in traditional medicine. The present work aims to study the phenolic compounds, the antioxidant activity, the anti-inflammatory effect, and the toxicity of two ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Thymus leptobotrys aerial part. The yield of the methanolic extraction (22.2%) is higher than that of the ethanolic extraction (15.8%) and is characterized by higher contents of polyphenols 243.08 mg/g GAE (mg/g of gallic acid), flavonoids 179.28 mg/g RE (mg/g of rutin), and tannins 39.31 mg/g CE (mg/g of catechin). The in vitro measurement of antioxidant activity with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical reduction test and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) test demonstrates the higher performance of the methanolic extract. The evaluation of the anti-inflammatory effect in vivo on adult Wistar female rats leads to a very significant decrease in the inflammation of the edema compared to the standard drug (indomethacin) and the control group. The toxicity test reveals that both extracts showed no toxicity within an LD50 above 2000 mg/kg body weight of the rats.
