mouse oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT). Further optimization gave rise to the benzofuran propanoic acid series (exemplified by compound 37), which demonstrated acute mechanism-based pharmacodynamic effects. The combination of in vivo efficacy and attractive rodent pharmacodynamic profiles suggests compounds generated from this series may afford attractive candidates for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes
据报道,将芳氧基丁酸超高通量筛选(uHTS)转化为有效和选择性的G蛋白偶联受体120(GPR120)激动剂系列。uHTS hit 1表现出优于相关脂肪酸受体GPR40的出色的啮齿动物药代动力学特性和选择性,但仅具有中等的GPR120效力。优化“左手”芳基可得到化合物6,该化合物在小鼠口服葡萄糖耐量试验(oGTT)中显示出基于GPR120机制的药效作用。进一步优化产生了苯并呋喃丙酸系列(以化合物37为例),证明了其具有基于急性机理的药效学作用。
