Substrate antidiabetic agents

One of the main objectives of organic and medicinal chemistry is the design, synthesis, and production of molecules having value as human therapeutic agents. Rhodanine scaffold is a powerful tool for the medicinal chemist and has a broad substrate scope for the synthesis of various heterocyclic moieties (Scheme 9.5) with a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as antimalarial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic, and anticonvrrlsant effects [18].
