Enzyme (α-Glucosidase, α-Amylase, PTP1B & VEGFR-2) Inhibition and Cytotoxicity of Fluorinated Benzenesulfonic Ester Derivatives of the 5-Substituted 2-Hydroxy-3-nitroacetophenones.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of small multi-target drugs containing a fluorinated aromatic moiety among approved drugs in the market is due to the unique properties of this halogen atom. With the aim to develop potent antidiabetic agents, a series of phenylsulfonic esters based on the conjugation of the 5-substituted 2-hydroxy-3-nitroacetophenones 1a-d with phenylsulfonyl chloride derivatives substituted with a fluorine atom or fluorine-containing (-CF₃ or -OCF₃) group were prepared. Their structures were characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques complemented with a single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis on a representative example. The compounds were, in turn, assayed for inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase, α-amylase, protein tyrosin
