Discovery of novel pyrrole derivatives as potent agonists for the niacin receptor GPR109A
摘要:
Novel pyrrole derivatives were discovered as potent agonists of the niacin receptor, GPR109A. During the derivatization, compound 16 was found to be effective both in vitro and in vivo. The compound 16 exhibited a significant reduction of the non-esterified fatty acid in human GPR109A transgenic rats, and the duration of its in vivo efficacy was much longer than niacin.

The palladium-catalyzed reduction of 1-hydroxy-8-aza-2,3-dioxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes, which were readily obtained by the manganese(III)-mediated oxidative formal [2+2+2] cycloaddition of pyrrolidinedione derivatives with alkenes and molecular oxygen, led to formal extrusion of one of the peroxide oxygens and produced 1-hydroxy-7-aza-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes in quantitative chemical yields.
stereoselective reduction reactions was used to synthesize new pyrrolidine-based iminosugars. The key step of this strategy involves the contruction of a highly functionalised pyrroldine ring skeleton through MCR approach. Subsequently, amination and reduction reactions to the ring skeleton provide a quick access to new pyrrolidine-basediminosugars. The iminosugars were then tested against alpha glucosidase
