Discovery of a Potent and Selective GPR120 Agonist
摘要:
GPR120 is a receptor of unsaturated long-chain fatty acids reported to mediate GLP-1 secretion, insulin sensitization, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects and is therefore emerging as a new potential target for treatment of type 2 diabetes and metabolic diseases. Further investigation is however hindered by the lack of suitable receptor modulators. Screening of FFA1 ligands provided a lead with moderate activity on GPR120 and moderate selectivity over FFA1. Optimization led to the discovery of the first potent and selective GPR120 agonist.

There is provided novel 4-fluoro-phenyl-methoxy-benzene carboxylic acid compounds (insert formula I) capable of modulating the G-protein-coupled receptor GPR120, which can be used for controlling insulin levels in vivo and for the treatment of conditions such as type II diabetes, hypertension, ketoacidosis, obesity, glucose intolerance, and hypercholesterolemia and related disorders associated with abnormally high or low plasma lipoprotein, triglyceride or glucose levels. Also claimed are the compounds for use in the treatment of obesity, type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

introduced alkyl chain; thus, the choice of alkylationreagent sets the homologation length. The key step involves a carbon-carbon bond activation process by a carbene-coordinated rhodium complex with assistance from a removable directing group. The approach is demonstrated for introduction of chains as long as 16 carbons and is applicable to derivatized carboxylicacids in complex bioactive molecules.
