Synthesis of new coumarin compounds and its hypoglycemic activity and structure-activity relationship

Abstract

Novel coumarin compounds were designed and synthesized by combining the active moieties of hypoglycemic drugs. The coumarin compounds were made by sulfanilamide with isocynate, the intermediate sulfanilamide was formed from coumarin by chlorosulfonated and aminated. These targeted compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and MS spectra and their hypoglycemic activities were evaluated in mice. The preliminary results showed that some compounds exhibited evident hypoglycemic effect (P > 0.01, CMC-Na as negative control). The relationship between these compounds structure with their hypoglycemic activities were studied in order to design new antidiabetic agents.
