Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine Derivatives as Novel DPP-4 Inhibitors
摘要:
A new series of DPP‐4 inhibitors with imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine scaffold were designed by exploiting scaffold hopping strategy and docking study. Based on docking binding model, structural modifications of 2‐benzene ring and pyridine moieties of compound 5a led to the identification of compound 5d with 2, 4‐dichlorophenyl group at the 2‐position as a potent (IC50 = 0.13 μm), selective (DPP‐8/DPP‐4 = 215 and DPP‐9/DPP‐4 = 192) and in vivo efficacious DPP‐4 inhibitor. Further, molecular docking revealed that compound 5d could retain key binding features of DPP‐4 with the pyridine moiety of imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine ring providing an additional π−π interaction with Phe357 of DPP‐4. Compound 5d might be a promising lead for further development of novel DPP‐4 inhibitor treating T2DM.

A direct method for the synthesis of formyl-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines was achieved easily from cyclization of aminopyridines and cinnamaldehydes via copper catalysis. This oxidative cyclization process involved direct C–H bond functionalization, and C–C/C–N bond formation. In this transformation, the sensitive aldehyde group was preserved under oxidative conditions.
通过铜催化氨基吡啶和肉桂醛的环化,很容易实现直接合成甲酰基取代的咪唑并[1,2- a ]吡啶的直接方法。这种氧化环化过程涉及直接的C–H键功能化和C–C / C–N键形成。在该转化中,敏感的醛基在氧化条件下得以保留。
