Abstrakt: A series of 2,4-disubstituted-oxazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized based on compound 3a, a promising lead compound developed in our lab. Among these derivatives, the optimized compound 5k exhibited potent hypoglycemic activity, increasing glucose consumption by 60 % in HepG2 cells compared to the solvent control, and its activity was higher than that of metformin. Further investigation indicated that compound 5k exhibited negligible cytotoxic effects at a concentration of 25 μM in HepG2 and 3T3-L1 cells and showed moderate inhibitory activity against various subtypes of human cytochrome P450 subtypes. An oral glucose tolerance test confirmed that 5k is an effective hypoglycemic agent. Additionally, mechanistic studies suggested that 5k may exert its hypoglycemic activity through the activation of the AMPK pathway.
