Synthesis and in vivo antidiabetic activity of novel dispiropyrrolidines through [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with thiazolidinedione and rhodanine derivatives

The synthesis of a series of novel dispiropyrrolidines has been accomplished by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with 5-arylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione and 5-arylidene-4-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidine-2-one derivatives as dipolarophiles. The structure and stereochemistry of the cycloadduct have been established by single crystal X-ray structure and spectroscopic techniques. Molecular docking studies were performed on 1FM9 protein. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antidiabetic activity on male Wistar rats.
