Abstract

This study investigates the manufacturing of glycoside-based derivatives of drugs, and their applications to produce injectable medications for colds and flu that alleviate problems with low solubility in water. Regarding these perspectives, this research was designed to prepare 4-o-β-D-glucopyranosyloxyphenylacetamide (7) through multistep synthesis, which was characterized through FT-IR spectra, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and melting point analysis, comparing it with the reported compound (8). ADMET and PASS of the synthesized compound were performed to assess the compounds' pharmacokinetics, toxicological profiles, and biological activities, i.e., low carcinogenicity, AOT category III, and antiviral potentiality etc.
