Lipid Lowering Oxopropanylindole Hydrazone Derivatives with Anti-oxidant and Anti-hyperglycemic Activity

AbstractA series of substituted oxopropanylindole hydrazone derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for anti-oxidant and anti-dyslipidemic activity. Among these 12 compounds the three compounds6c,7band7dshowed good anti-oxidant activity and the compound6cattenuataed LDL oxidation by 32%. The compounds6cand7dalso showed good anti-dyslipidemic activity by reducing serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), phospholipids (PL) and triglycerides (TG). These two compounds were further evaluated for anti-adipogenic and anti-hyperglycemic activity, where6cwas found most active compound with 44% reduction in lipid accumulation and 20.5% and 24.3% reduction in blood glucose at 5h and 24h respectively, as compared to standard drug metformin.
