    Abstract:
    Attributed to several side effects, especially on hepatic tissues and body weight, there is always an urge of innovation and upgrading in already existing medication being used in maintaining diabetic condition. Therefore, in the present work, forty-eight molecules derived from arylpropionic acid scaffold were synthesized and their evaluation against diabetes was carried out. The synthesis of these molecules attributed to excellent dock score displayed by all the structures performed against PPAR-γ receptor site. Subsequently, all the derivatives were primarily deduced for their antidiabetic potential by OGTT. The compounds that showed significant antidiabetic activity in OGT Test and also exhibited high dock scores were assessed further by in vitro PPAR transactivation assay to assure analogy between in vivo and in vitro studies. The antidiabetic activity of these active compounds was then evaluated on STZ induced diabetic model in vivo. The most active compounds were scrutinized for its effect on PPAR-γ gene expression and hepatotoxic effect. Finally, it was recapitulated that these derivatives can provide a new prospect towards the development of antidiabetic agents with fewer side effects.
