- Description
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of endocrine and metabolic disorders characterised and identified by the presence of hyperglycaemia over a long period and, to an extent, accompanied by hyperlipidaemia. CVD has been reported to be the leading cause of mortality in patients with DM. Several antidiabetic agents are available for managing DM, but these agents are not for curative therapy and present with undesirable side effects. In addition, these agents become less effective as the patient's condition progresses to complete beta-cell failure. Therefore, developing newer antidiabetic agents with minimal undesirable side effects, prolonged efficacy and protection against the development of DM complications are necessary. This study was conducted to identify potential novel antidiabetic agents with cardiovascular-protective activity. The compounds of interest for the study were quinolone derivatives since quinolones have been reported to have an antihyperglycaemic effect.
