%X UNASSIGNED: The in vivo assessment of a novel compound is a pivotal step in the development of a new drug. In this study, we selected 1-(2-bromophenyl)-1,11-dihydro-3H-benzo[h]pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-3,12(2H)-dione (2-BDBPQD), identified as an exemplary α-glucosidase inhibitor in preliminary in vitro assays, for further evaluation in an in vivo anti-diabetic context.
UNASSIGNED: The in vivo anti-diabetic effect of 2-BDBPQD was assessed using a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic Wistar rat model. Recognizing the relevance of lipid factors in diabetes, we also investigated the impact of this compound on the lipid profile of diabetic Wistar rats. In silico studies, encompassing docking studies and pharmacokinetic predictions of 2-BDBPQD, were conducted.
UNASSIGNED: The results obtained indicated a significant reduction in blood glucose levels with 2-BDBPQD treatment compared to acarbose. However, no significant effects on the lipid profile were observed. In silico studies revealed that 2-BDBPQD interacted with key residues in the α-glucosidase active site and exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic properties.
UNASSIGNED: In summary, the study demonstrated the in vivo anti-hyperglycemic activity of 2-BDBPQD. Nevertheless, further in vivo evaluations are recommended to comprehensively assess its potential as a new drug for the treatment of diabetes.
