Synthesis, characterization, and antihyperglycemic activity of novel oxazolidine derivatives.

A number of compounds have been prepared in order to improve pharmacological roles of antihyperglycemic activity. In the present paper, a series of 3-benzyl-2-(4'-substituted phenyl)-4(5H)-(4″-nitrophenyl amino)-1,3-oxazolidines (6a-e) were tested against hyperglycemia. Their antihyperglycemic activity was evaluated by streptozotocin (STZ) and sucrose-loaded (SLM) models. Compounds 6a, b, c, d, and e displayed significant reductions in blood glucose in the streptozotocin and sucrose loaded rat models. The purity of the synthesized compounds was characterized by means of IR, (1)H-NMR, mass spectral and elemental analysis.
