Cholesterylestertransferprotein (CETP) has been identified as a potential target for cardiovascular disease (CVD) for its important role in the reverse cholesteryltransfer (RCT) process. In our previous work, compound 5 was discovered as a moderate CETPinhibitor. The replacement of the amide linker by heterocyclic aromatics and then a series of N,N-substituted-4-arylthiazole-2-methylamine derivatives
free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) were considered as potential anti-diabetic targets, and the dual FFA1/PPARδ agonists might provide synergistic effect in insulin secretion and sensibility. Herein, we further develop dual agonists by screening 7 series of heterocycles, resulting in the discovery of compound 19 with considerable oral pharmacokinetic
