A series of benzimidazole derivatives with a phenylcyclohexyl acetic acid group as DGAT-1 inhibitors was developed. Among the benzimidazole series, compound 5k showed submicromolar in vitro activity toward human and mouse DGAT-1, good selectivity toward DGAT-2, human liver metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles such as hERG, CYP and acute toxicity. Additionally, 5k showed good in vivo efficacy in 4 weeks study with DIO mouse model. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
