Abstract

Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) plays a crucial role in the conversion of glycogen to glucose- 1-phosphate (and in turn glucose) and is a promising target for therapeutic intervention in diabetes. In this study we synthesized new derivatives of 2-oxo-1, 2-dihydropyridin-3-yl amides using a facile aminolysis reaction, in which different alkyl and aryl esters and amides are substituted at N-1 and C-3 of the heterocyclic ring. The in vitro inhibitory activity of ...
