title: Synthesis and antidiabetic activity of some new furochromonyl-2,4-thiazolidinediones.
abstract: A new series of furochromone-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives (VIIa-h) was prepared by Knoevenagel reaction of substituted-2,4-thiazolidinediones (VIa-h) with Khellin-2-carboxaldehyde (IV). The prepared compounds were tested for their insulinotropic activities in INS-1 cells. Compounds VIId and VIIf (at lower concentration; 1 microgram/ml) were able to increase insulin release in the presence of 5.6 mmol/l glucose. Both these compounds (VIId and VIIf) and VIIg increased glucose uptake in NIH-3T3 cells. Thus these 3 compounds should be tested for antidiabetic effects in vivo.
