A series of non-steroidal GPBAR1 (TGR5) agonists was developed from a hit in a high-throughput screening campaign. Lead identification efforts produced biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid derivative (R)-22, which displayed a robust secretion of PYY after oral administration in a degree that can be correlated with the unbound plasma concentration. Further optimisation work focusing on reduction of the lipophilicity provided the 1-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid derivative (R)-29 (RO5527239), which showed an improved secretion of PYY and GLP-1, translating into a significant reduction of postprandial blood glucose excursion in an oral glucose tolerance test in DIO mice.
