Synthesis, X-ray diffraction analysis, quantum chemical studies and α -amylase inhibition of probenecid derived S -alkylphthalimide-oxadiazole-benzenesulfonamide hybrids.

Sulphonamide and 1,3,4-oxadiazole moieties are present as integral structural parts of many drugs and pharmaceuticals. Taking into account the significance of these moieties, we herein present the synthesis, single-crystal X-ray analysis, DFT studies, and α -amylase inhibition of probenecid derived two S -alkylphthalimide-oxadiazole-benzenesulfonamide hybrids. The synthesis has been accomplished in high yields. The final structures of both hybrids have been established completely with the help of different spectro-analytical techniques, including NMR, FTIR, HR-MS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. In an effort to confirm the experimental findings, versatile quantum mechanical calculations and Hirshfeld Surface analysis have been performed. α -Amylase inhibition assay has been executed to investigate the enzyme inhibitory potential of both hybrids. The low IC 50 value (76.92 ± 0.19 μg/mL) of hybrid 2 shows the good α -amylase inhibition potential of the respective compound. Ultimately, the binding affinities and features of the two hybrids are elucidated utilising a molecular docking technique against the α -amylase enzyme.
