diabetes mellitus with clinical proof of concept. Most of the GPR40 agonists in the literature have a carboxylic acid functional group, which may pose a risk for idiosyncratic drug toxicity. A novel series of GPR40 agonists containing a tetrazole as a carboxylic acid bioisostere was identified. This series of compounds features a benzo[b]thiophene as the center ring, which is prone to oxidation during phase
GPR40部分激动剂是一种具有临床概念证明的治疗2型糖尿病的有前途的新机制。文献中大多数GPR40激动剂具有
羧酸官能团,可能会引起特异药物毒性。鉴定了一系列新的GPR40激动剂,其中含有
四唑作为
羧酸生物等排体。该系列化合物的特征是以苯并[b]
噻吩为中心环,该苯环在第一阶段的代谢过程中易于氧化。在针对微粒体(人和大鼠)中的GPR40激动剂活性和固有清除率进行
SAR优化之后,选择了有效且代谢稳定的化合物进行体内评估。在
SD大鼠oG
TT模型中,这些化合物可有效降低血糖。
