Abstract
In recent years, there has been significant focus on developing new, efficient, and safe
newlinemedications using economically viable, environmentally friendly, and innovative synthetic
newlineapproaches, aiming to achieve long-term sustainability. The increasing pressure to avoid the
newlineuse of dangerous organic solvents, reagents, and complex synthetic processes in organic
newlinereactions has raised concerns among researchers regarding health, safety, and environmental
newlineissues. As a result, there is a growing need to find safe and user-friendly methods for
newlinesynthesizing biologically valuable compounds. At the moment, researchers are prioritizing the
newlinedrug repurposing technique to create novel pharmaceuticals by utilizing pre-existing drugs on
newlinethe commercial market, instead of attempting to synthesize new medicines from raw materials,
newlinewhich is a laborious and expensive process. This approach requires fewer resources and
newlinefacilitates the speedy production of new bioactive lead molecules.
newlineThe main objective of this thesis is to employ the concept of medication repurposing to develop
newlinepotent medicinal derivatives with reduced undesirable characteristics. The development of
newlinethese derivatives will be based on commercially accessible active pharmaceutical intermediates
newline(APIs), namely Metformin hydrochloride, Diclofenac sodium, and Irbesartan. The currently
newlinesynthesized novel derivatives are examined utilizing thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and
newlinespectroscopic techniques. The glucosidase inhibitory activity of the structurally
newlinemodified metformin derivatives is being assessed in relation to metformin. The anti-inflammatory
newlineefficacy of diclofenac derivatives was evaluated by in vivo animal tests and the
newlinemorphology of all the derivatives were determined using the powder X-ray diffraction
newlinetechnique.
