Structure−Activity Study of Dihydrocinnamic Acids and Discovery of the Potent FFA1 (GPR40) Agonist TUG-469
摘要:
The free fatty acid 1 receptor (FFA1 or GPR40), which is highly expressed on pancreatic beta-cells and amplifies glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, has emerged as attractive target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes Several FFA1 agonists containing the para-substituted dihydrocinnamic acid moiety are known. We here present a structure-activity relationship study of this compound family suggesting that the central methyleneoxy linker is preferable for the smaller compounds whereas the central methyleneamine linker gives higher potency to the larger compounds. The study resulted in the discovery of the potent and selective full FFA1 agonist TUG-469 (29).
The GPR40 receptor function regulator of the present invention, which comprises a compound having an aromatic ring and a group capable of releasing cation is useful as an insulin secretagogue or an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of diabetes and the like.
An agent for regulating 14273 receptor function, which is useful as a preventing or treating drug for diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia or the like, is provided. An agent for regulating 14273 receptor function comprising a compound containing an aromatic ring and a group capable of releasing a cation.
