4-(trans-4-Methylcyclohexyl)-4-Oxobutyric Acid (JTT-608). A New Class of Antidiabetic Agent
摘要:
During an investigation of drugs for improving the beta-cell response to glucose, we found that 4-cyclohexyl-4-oxobutyric acid selectively improved glucose-stimulated insulin release and glucose tolerance in both normal and diabetic rats. A series of 4-cycloalkyl-4-oxobutyric acids and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their effects on the glucose tolerance test and fasting euglycemia. This study elucidated the structural requirements for drug activity and determined th at the optimum compound was 4-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-4-oxobutyric acid 7 (JTT-608). This compound improved glucose tolerance from an oral dose of 3 mg/kg and did not change fasting euglycemia even at an oral dose of 30 mg/kg. Selective improvement of glucose-induced insulin secretion was observed in studies using neonatal streptozotocin rats (nSTZ rats) and perfused pancreases isolated from nSTZ rats.

Highly enantiomerically enriched γ- and δ-lactams have been prepared by a simple and very efficient procedure that involves the asymmetrictransferhydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)iminoesters followed by desulfinylation of the nitrogen atom and spontaneous cyclization to the desired lactams during the basic workup procedure. Five- and six-membered ring lactams bearing aromatic, heteroaromatic

challenge for synthetic chemists. In recent years there has been considerable interest in using selective C−Hactivation as a direct route for generating reactive intermediates. Herein, the use of visible‐light‐mediated dual photoredox organocatalysis as a mild and effective method for C −H activation of aldehydes is reported, resulting in the generation of acyl radicals. These nucleophilic acyl radical
From a Designer Drug to the Discovery of Selective Cannabinoid Type 2 Receptor Agonists with Favorable Pharmacokinetic Profiles for the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis
discover novel and selective CB2 receptor agonists, 1 was selected as a starting point for hit molecule identification and a class of 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide derivatives were thus designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated. Systematic structure–activity relationship investigations resulted in the identification of the most promising compound 66 as a selective CB2 receptor agonist with favorable pharmacokinetic

A 3-(2-cyclohexanoyl)propionic acid ester is in the presence of a solid metallic catalyst, cyclized and dehydrogenised at 100° to 350°C, optionally with solvent and promotor to given 3,4-dihydrocoumarin [D] in 30-70 mol% yield and coumarin [C] 5-35 mol% and by-product dihydrocinnamic acid [A], 0.1-20 wt%; hydrogenation can convert [C] to [D].
The reaction mixture is purified by (i) to remove acidic compounds washing with an aqueous solution of an alkali (e.g., NaOH or NAHCO₃); if a strong alkali metal or alkaline earth hydroxide is used its amount is not more than 1.5 equivalent per equivalent of [D]; the amount of solution is 0.1 to 10 times by weight that of the reaction mixture. The washing reduces the content of [A] to 1% by weight of the weight of [D], and/or (ii) to remove high boiling o-ethylphenyl cyclohexylpropionate/dihydrocinnamate to 2% by weight of that of [D] distillation at a reflux ratio of not more than 5 or in a tower having 10 stages or less, at 13-13330 Pa (0.1 to 10 Torr); (i) and (ii) can be used together in either order, followed by rectification in a 5-100 stage tower at a reflux ratio of 1 to 50, to recover [D].
The product contains not more than 0.05% of [A] and is suitable for use in perfume.
