metformin,  acarbose,  and  more  recently  pioglitazone.  Each  of  these  agents  suffers  from  generally  inadequate  efficacy  (as 
monotherapy) and a number of serious adverse effects such as hypoglycemia, GI disturbances and cardiovascular disorders. As a 
consequence,  there  continues  to  be  a  high  demand  for  new  oral  antidiabetic  drugs  devoid  of  these  shortcomings.  Novel 
Thiazolidinediones  derivatives  was  synthesized  purified,  characterized  and  subjected  to  appropriate  screening  for  acute  oral 
toxicity and hypoglycemic activity in Albino mice and Wistar rats respectively.  All computational experiments were performed 
on  computer  having  genuine  Intel  Pentium  Dual  Core  Processor  and  Windows  XP  operating  system  using  the  VLifeMDS 
software  package  of  VLife  Technologies  Pvt.  Ltd.  Pune  (www.vlifesciences.com).  (version  4.3).All  the  chemicals  were  of 
laboratory reagent grade and were obtained from Thomas Baker, Loba Chemi e and Sigma-Aldrich. Melting points were taken in 
one end sealed glass capillary using Omega melting point apparatus. Analytical thin-layer chromatography was performed on 
60F254 Precoated silica gel plates (Merck) to establish identity of reactants and products monitored in between reactions as well 
at the end for completion of reaction. The spots were visualized in UV chamber or by iodine vapors in an enclosed chamber. Th e 
solvent  system  used  for  Thin-Layer  Chromatography  was  Chloroform:  Methanol  (5:5)  Infra-Red  spectra  of  compounds  were 
recorded  using  KBr  disc  method  on  a  shimadzu  1000  FTIR  spectrometer  in  the  range  of  4000 -200  cm

Magnetic  Resonance  spectra  of  compounds  were  recorded  on  Bruker  Avance  II  400  NMR  Spectrophotometer  using  DMSO 
solvent, at SAIF, Punjab University, Chandigarh. Mass spectra of compounds were recorded on DMSO, Q -TOF MICROMASS 
(LC-MS) at SAIF, Punjab University, Chandigarh. Based on the favorable Antidiabetic activity of thiazolidinedione derivatives, 
it  could  be  concluded  that  this  hydrophobic  interaction  played  an  important  effect  in  the  activity.  The  end  a mino  cation  of 
PHE287A was also formed a Ï€-cation interaction with the triazole ring of the compound MCR-013-14/15 (distance: 4.56 A

), 
which enhanced the binding action between receptor PPAR-áµž and the ligand compound MCR-013-14/15. The compounds MCR-011  and  MCR-014  showed  highest  percentage  decrease  of  blood  glucose  level  at  the  dose  of  1/10

that  of  LD50  among  the 
evaluated compounds compared to control. Acute toxicity study was done for determining LD50. The LD50 was found to be 2000, 
1098,  1098,305  mg/Kg  for  synthesized  compounds.  Two  doses  were  selected  for  the  hypoglycemic  evaluation  of  the 
compounds. The compounds MCR-011 and MCR-014 showed highest percentage decrease of blood glucose level at the dose of 
1/10

substitution of thiadiazole group enhanced the hypoglycemic potential of the synthesized compounds </Abstract><Email>sushilpharma@rediffmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>7</volume><issue>4</issue><year>2016</year><keyword>Thiadiazole,MCR-011,Triazole</keyword><AUTHORS>Sushil D.Patil,Ashish Kumar Sharma</AUTHORS><afflication>Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, NIMS Institute of Pharmacy, NIMS University, Shobha Nagar, Delhi Highway  Jaipur-303121, Rajasthan, India,Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, NIMS Institute of Pharmacy, NIMS University, Shobha Nagar, Delhi Highway  Jaipur-303121, Rajasthan, India</afflication></Article></Articles>
