Agonist lead identification for the high affinity niacin receptor GPR109a
摘要:
A strategy for lead identification of new agonists of GPR109a, starting from known compounds shown to activate the receptor, is described. Early compound triage led to the formulation of a binding hypothesis and eventually to our focus on a series of pyrazole acid derivatives. Further elaboration of these compounds provided a series of 5,5-fused pyrazoles to be used as lead compounds for further optimization. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A series of 5-alkylpyrazole derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for potent hypolipidemic activity in rats. Many pyrazole derivatives with an alkyl group at the 5 position of the pyrazole ring were found to possess high hypolipidemic activity. Homologation of the alkyl chain led to marked increase in activity, but introduction of other substituents at other sites on the pyrazole ring failed to
In order to investigate the generality of a chain-elongation reaction observed in the metabolism of fusaric acid (5-butyl-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) and its derivatives, various heteroaromatic (diazine, 1, 3-azole, and 1, 2-azole) carboxylic acids with a normal alkyl side-chain were synthesized.

Pyrazole derivatives of formula (I):
wherein R' is hydrogen or methyl; Ar is pyridyl, thienyl, or optionally substituted phenyl; X is NH2, H, OH, halogen or C1-3 alkyl; and R is OH, OM, O-alk, NH2, NH-alk, N(alk)2 or N-alken-N-(alk)2; wherein alk is C1-5 alkyl; alken is (CH2)2 or (CH2)3 and M is a non-toxic cation; are useful in lowering blood urate levels in mammals.

A series of 5-alkyl pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids were prepared and found to act as potent and selective agonists of the human GPCR, GPR109a, the high affinity nicotinic acid receptor. No activity was observed at the highly homologous low affinity niacin receptor, GPR109b. A further series of 4-fluoro-5-alkyl pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids were shown to display similar potency. One example from the series was shown to have improved properties in vivo compared to niacin. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
