RESUMO
Metabolic syndrome is a widely prevalent multifactorial disorder associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. High plasma levels of insulin and glucose due to insulin resistance are a major component of the metabolic disorder. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are potent PPARγ ligand and used as insulin sensitizers in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. They are potent insulin-sensitizing agents but due to adverse effects like hepatotoxicity, a safer alternative of TZDs is highly demanded. Here we report synthesis of N-(6-(4-(piperazin-1-yl)phenoxy)pyridin-3-yl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives as an alternate remedy for insulin resistance.
RESUMO
The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are a class of oral antidiabetic drugs that improve insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Although the mechanism by which the TZDs lower insulin resistance is unclear, they are known to target the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a nuclear hormone receptor. Ligands for PPARγ regulate adipocyte production and secretion of fatty acids as well as glucose metabolism, resulting in increased insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle. However, TZDs have several adverse effects, including weight gain and liver toxicity. Herein we report identification of non-TZD PPARγ agonists which exhibit beneficial effects similar to that of TZDs in animal models, but without the associated adverse effects.

The first "In Water" imidazolecarbonylation of amine is described. A one pot reaction of carbonylimidazolide in water with a nucleophile provides an efficient and general method for the preparation of urea, carbamates and thiocarbamates. Use of an anhydrous solvent and an inert atmosphere could be avoided. Product precipitate out from the reaction mixture and can be obtained in high purity by filtration, resulting in a simple and scalable method.
