	abstract = {<p>In an effort to identify an anti-diabetic agent, a series of methyl/ethyl 4-(hydroxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo/thioxo-1,2,3,4 tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate analogues (4a-h) have been synthesized, purified, and characterized by using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and NMR (H-1 and C-13). The synthesized compounds were screened for anti-hyperglycemic activity using Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat model. The anti-hyperglycemic activity of dihydropyrimidine (DHPM) compound is mainly analyzed with the variation of substituents present on the phenyl ring and urea/thiourea group on pharmacophoric features. Further, the crystal structure and supramolecular characteristics of two compounds 4c and 4f were analyzed through a single-crystal X-ray method and the Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, which shows hydrogen bonding through N-H center dot center dot center dot O and N-H center dot center dot center dot S interactions with the formation of ring motif in the crystal structure. It is interesting to note that among the title compounds, the 4a, 4e, 4f, and 4g significantly displayed a better hypoglycemic effect in vivo rat model study. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
