Abstract
New arylidene-thiazolidinediones (ATZDs) were synthesized and evaluated in the alloxan-induced hyperglycemia mice model. The molecular target taken into consideration is the nuclear PPAR-gamma whose crystallographic structure is available on the PDB database as 2PRG. Thus the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities of compounds were compared with the result of their docking after removal of the co-crystallized ligand present in the 2PRG structure. Molecular modeling studies were carried out using the Autodock 3.0.5 and ADT 1.1 programs.Entities:
