1-Alkyl-benzotriazole-5-carboxylic Acids Are Highly Selective Agonists of the Human Orphan G-Protein-Coupled Receptor GPR109b
摘要:
I-Substituted benzotriazole carboxylic acids have been identified as the first reported examples of selective small-molecule agonists of the human orphan G-protein-coupled receptor GPR109b (HM74), a low-affinity receptor for the HDL-raising drug niacin. No activity was observed at the highly homologous high-affinity macin receptor GPR109a (HM74A). The high degree of selectivity was attributed to a difference in the amino acid sequence adjacent to a key arginine-ligand interaction allowing somewhat larger ligands to be tolerated by GPR109b.

The present invention relates to certain benzotriazole carboxylic acid or ester derivatives of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, which exhibit useful pharmaceutical properties, for example, as agonists for the GPCR referred to as hRUP38. Also provided by the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of the invention, and methods of using the compounds and compositions of the invention in the prophylaxis or treatment of metabolic-related disorders, including dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, Syndrome-X and the like. In addition, the present invention also provides for the use of the compounds of the invention in combination with other active agents such as those belonging to the class of -glucosidase inhibitors, aldose reductase inhibitors, biguanides, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, squalene synthesis inhibitors, fibrates, LDL catabolism enhancers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, insulin secretion enhancers and the like.
