Diabetes mellitus is a growing concern, and coumarins with thiazole groups have shown promise in managing the disease with fewer side effects. Thiazolyl coumarin derivatives were synthesized and characterized via IR, Mass, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. In-silico analysis against α-glucosidase and α-amylase revealed that compounds C1, C2, and C3 had the highest docking scores compared to acarbose. Antioxidant and antidiabetic activities were assessed, with C4 showing the strongest α-amylase inhibition and C7 the highest α-glucosidase inhibition. Compounds C1 and C3 showed significant activity in both assays, making them strong candidates for further hypoglycaemic development.
