Targeting Diabetes with Azole-derived Medicinal Agents

Abstract

: Azoles have long been regarded as an ideal scaffold for the development of numerous innovative therapeutic agents as well as other incredibly adaptable and beneficial chemicals with prospective uses in a variety of fields, including materials, energetics (explosophores), and catalysis (azole organocatalytic arbitration). Azoles exhibit promising pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antiviral, antidepressant, antihistaminic, antitumor, antioxidant, antiallergic, antihelmintic, and antihypertensive activity. According to a database analysis of U.S. FDAapproved medications, 59% of specific medications are connected to small molecules that have heterocycles having nitrogen atoms. The azole moiety has impressive electron abundance. Azoles promptly attach to various receptors as well as enzymes in the physiological environment via distinct specialized interactions, contributing to their anti-diabetic potential. This review encompasses the recent research progress on potent azole-derived antidiabetic agents that can be used as an alternative for the management of type-2 diabetes.
