α-Glucosidase inhibition is a valid approach for controlling hyperglycemia in diabetes. In the current study, new molecules as a hybrid of isoxazole and dibenzazepine scaffolds were designed, based on their literature as antidiabetic agents. For this, a series of dibenzazepine-linked isoxazoles (33–54) was prepared using Nitrile oxide-Alkyne cycloaddition (NOAC) reaction, and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities to explore new hits for treatment of diabetes. Most of the compounds showed potent inhibitory potency against α-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) enzyme (IC50 = 35.62 ± 1.48 to 333.30 ± 1.67 μM) using acarbose as a reference drug (IC50 = 875.75 ± 2.08 μM). Structure-activity relationship, kinetics and molecular docking studies of active isoxazoles were also determined to study enzyme-inhibitor interactions. Compounds 33, 40, 41, 46, 48–50, and 54 showed binding interactions with critical amino acid residues of α-glucosidase enzyme, such as Lys156, Ser157, Asp242, and Gln353.
