Özet
Recent evidence suggests that linagliptin and its structural derivatives exhibit biological activities beyond glycemic control, highlighting the linagliptin scaffold as a promising platform for multifunctional drug design. In this study, eight novel linagliptin-based azo–imine derivatives (3a–h) were designed, synthesized, and structurally characterized, with the stereochemistry of representative compound 3e confirmed by 2D NMR. Computational analyses (DFT, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations) were employed to support electronic structure elucidation and ligand–protein interaction stability. Specifically, 250 ns molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the 6XFP-3h complex maintains high structural stability and thermodynamic equilibration throughout the trajectory. All derivatives displayed moderate antioxidant activity (TEAC = 0.46–0.84). Antiproliferative effects were evaluated against A549 …
