Popis: Abstract Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) partial agonists or antagonists, also termed as selective PPAR-γ modulators, are more beneficial than full agonists because they can avoid the adverse effects associated with PPAR-γ full agonists, such as weight gain and congestive heart disorders, while retaining the antidiabetic efficiency. In this study, we designed and synthesized new benzylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-diones while keeping the acidic thiazolidinedione (TZD) ring at the center, which is in contrast with the typical pharmacophore of PPAR-γ agonists. Five compounds (5a–e) were designed and synthesized in moderate to good yields and were characterized using spectral techniques. The in vivo antidiabetic efficacy of the synthesized compounds was assessed on streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice using standard protocols, and their effect on weight gain was also studied. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies were performed to investigate the binding interactions of the title compounds with the PPAR-γ receptor and to establish their binding mechanism. Antidiabetic activity results revealed that compounds 5d and 5e possess promising antidiabetic activity comparable with the standard drug rosiglitazone. No compound showed considerable effect on the body weight of animals after 21 days of administration, and the findings showed statistical difference (p
