Discovery of cycloalkyl-fused N-thiazol-2-yl-benzamides as tissue non-specific glucokinase activators: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation
摘要:
Glucokinase (GK) activators are being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, existing GK activators have risks of hypoglycemia caused by over-activation of GK in islet cells and dyslipidemia caused by over-activation of intrahepatic GK. In the effort to mitigate risks of hypoglycemia and dyslipidemia while maintaining the promising efficacy of GK activator, we investigated a series of cycloalkyl-fused N-thiazol-2-yl-benzamides as tissue non-specific partial GK activators, which led to the identification of compound 72 that showed a good balance between in vitro potency and enzyme kinetic parameters, and protected beta-cells from streptozotocin-induced apoptosis. Chronic treatment of compound 72 demonstrated its potent activity in regulation of glucose homeostasis and low risk of dyslipidemia with diabetic db/db mice in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Moreover, acute treatment of compound 72 did not induce hypoglycemia in C57BL/6J mice even at 200 mg/kg via oral administration. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
Provided is a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which inhibits the activity of PI3K to regulate many biological processes including the growth, differentiation, survival, proliferation, migration, metabolism, and the like of cells and is therefore useful for the prophylaxis/therapy of diseases including inflammatory diseases, arteriosclerosis, vascular/circulatory diseases, cancer/tumors, immune system diseases, cell proliferative diseases, infectious diseases, and the like. The above problem was solved by providing a urea derivative shown in the present specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
