Diabetes is one of the pre-dominant metabolic disorders all over the world. It is the prime reason of mortality and morbidity due to hyperglycemia which is link with numerus obstacles. Delaying absorption and digestion of carbohydrate has great therapeutic impact for governing postprandial hyperglycemia. Consequently, alpha glucosidase is one of the potential therapeutic approaches that reduce absorption of glucose and delay carbohydrate digestion hence maintaining blood glucose level. In this regard we have synthesized benzothiazole based oxadiazole in search of potent anti-diabetic agent as α-glucosidase Inhibitors. Benzothiazole based oxadiazole derivatives 1-23 have been synthesized, characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and MS and evaluated for α-glucosidase Inhibition. All analogs exhibited a varying degree of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging in between 0.5 ± 0.01-30.90 ± 0.70 μM when compared with the standard acarbose (IC50 = 866.30 ± 3.20 μM). Structure activity relationship has been established for all compounds. Molecular docking studies were performed to predict the binding interaction of the compounds with the active site of enzyme.
