摘要:
Thirteen thiomorpholine-bearing compounds were designed and synthesized as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, with natural and non-natural L-amino acids as the starting materials. Their structures were characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and HR-MS. The target compounds were screened for the DPP-IV inhibition, and the preliminary SAR result was obtained. Particularly, compounds 4c, 4d and 4f with good DPP-IV inhibition in vitro were further evaluated through a mouse oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The preliminary result showed the potential value for further studies on those thiomorpholine-bearing compounds as DPP-IV inhibitors. (C) 2011 Hai Hong Huang.
