As therefore, effective α-amylase inhibitors may have a major therapeutic impact in type 2 diabetic mellites. In the present study, virtual screening database preparation by R-group enumeration, virtual screening, docking study, and pharmacokinetics analysis was performed by taking α-amylase as a target. The results highlight the important binding features of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione compounds as α-amylase inhibitors. R group enumeration study was performed for the generation of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (6250 compounds). These derivatives further proceed for virtual screening study by using Lipinski rule of 5, HTVS, SP, and XP screening filters. Only the top 4 compounds were selected after the XP docking process. The molecular docking study of VS hits showed compound 1 showed good binding score of -9.129 kcal/mole on α- amylase enzyme (PDB ID-3BAY). The present study may be used for the further development of potential compounds against type 2 diabetes.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>?-amylase,Structure-based pharmacophore,Virtual screening,Thiazolidine-2,4- dione</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://isfcppharmaspire.com/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=14700&title=In silico studies for the identification of potential thiazolidine-2,4-diones as α-amylase inhibitors</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
