Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by frequent urination, hunger and high blood sugar level. α-glucosidase inhibitors are considered as a frontline treatment for the DM. This research article deals with the identification of benzothiazine derivatives as α-glucosidase inhibitors through in-silico techniques and then the confirmation through in-vitro analysis. Molecular docking studies were carried out to find out the binding interactions of targeted molecules with receptor molecule i.e., α-glucosidase enzyme. The synthetic compounds 1 (a-n), 2 (a-d) and 3 (a-b) were evaluated for in-vitro alpha glucosidase inhibitory activities that resulted in the discovery of various potent molecules. Majority of the compounds (1c, 1f, 1g, 1k-n, 2a-d and 3a-b) exhibited good inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. Compounds 1c, 1g, 1k and 1m appeared as the potent active compounds with the IC50 values 17.44, 27.64, 24.43, 42.59 and 16.90 μM respectively. Compounds 1c & 2c were found almost 3-folds more active than the standard acarbose. The study may lead to discover potent drug candidates with less complication for the treatment of the type II diabetes mellitus.
