Glycogen synthase (GS) catalyzes the transfer of glucose residues from UDP-glucose to a glycogen polymer chain, a critical step for glucose storage. Patients with type 2 diabetes normally exhibit low glycogen levels and decreased muscle glucose uptake is the major defect in whole body glucose disposal. Therefore, activating GS may provide a potential approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In order to identify non-carboxylic acids GS activators, we designed and synthesized a series of 2-N-alkyl- and 2-N-aryl-indazolone derivatives and studied their activity in activating human GS.
