A novelseries of GPR40 agonists is designed by introducing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring at the terminal phenyl ring of TAK-875 with the aim of decreasing its lipophilicity. Three different β-substituted phenylpropionic acids were investigated as the acidic components. A total of 34 compounds have been synthesized, among which, compound 30 exhibited comparable GPR40 agonistic activity in vitro
