Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases in humans and the use of herbal medicines is of great clinical importance to inhibit carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes and reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Inhibition of glycosidase activity is an effective way to treat and prevent diabetes. Therefore, in this study, curcumin-based benzaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and used as influential agents in the treatment of diabetes with inhibitory properties against two carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes α-glucosidase (α-Glu) and α-amylase (α-Amy) as significant therapeutic targets for reducing postprandial hyperglycemia. Overall, the findings showed that due to the specific inhibitory activity against α-Glu in comparison with α-Amy, as well as more stability and antioxidant activity than curcumin, C5 and C8 derivatives are potentially important anti-diabetic drugs, not only to decrease glycemic index but also to limit the activity of the main production pathways of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in diabetic patients.
