α-Glucosidase inhibitors, which can inhibit the digestion of carbohydrates into glucose, are one of important groups of anti-type 2 diabetic drugs. In the present study, we report our effort on the discovery and optimization of α-glucosidase inhibitors with tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)urea core. Screening of an in-house library revealed a moderated α-glucosidase inhibitors, 5a, and then the following structural optimization was performed to obtain more efficient derivatives. Most of these derivatives showed increased inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase than the parental compound 5a (IC50 of 26.71 ± 1.80 μM) and the positive control acarbose (IC50 of 258.53 ± 1.27 μM). Among them, compounds 8r (IC50 = 0.59 ± 0.02 μM) and 8s (IC50 = 0.65 ± 0.03 μM) were the most potent inhibitors, and showed selectivity over α-amylase. The direct binding of both compounds with α-glucosidase was confirmed by fluorescence quenching experiments. Kinetics study revealed that these compounds were non-competitive inhibitors, which was consistent with the molecular docking results that compounds 8r and 8s showed high preference to bind to the allosteric site instead of the active site of α-glucosidase. In addition, compounds 8r and 8s were not toxic (IC50 > 100 μM) towards LO2 and HepG2 cells. Finally, the in vivo anti-hyperglycaemic activity assay results indicated that compounds 8r could significantly decrease the level of plasma glucose and improve glucose tolerance in SD rats treated with sucrose. The present study provided the tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)urea chemotype for developing novel α-glucosidase inhibitors against type 2 diabetes.

In a medium consisting of triethylamine and water, methylene ketones undergo room temperature Gewald reactions with elemental sulfur and ethyl cyanoacetate (or malononitrile) to yield 2 aminothiophene derivatives efficiently within short time periods. Because of the high polarity of the medium, products precipitate in the reaction mixtures spontaneously. This makes isolation of the products easy by simple filtration and avoids cumbersome chromatographic separations. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reactions proceed via a Knoevenagel condensation pathway(equation presented). 2013
