Elevated stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) activity has been linked to a number of metabolic disorders including obesity and type II diabetes. Compound 3j, a potent SCD inhibitor (human HepG2 IC(50)=1nM) was identified from the optimization of a lead thiazole compound MF-152 with over 100-fold improvement in potency. In a 4-week chronic oral dosing at 0.2mg/kg, 3j gave a robust 24% prevention of body weight gain in mice fed on a high fat diet accompanied with an improved metabolic profile on insulin and glucose levels.
硬脂酰辅酶 A 去饱和酶(SCD)活性升高与多种代谢紊乱有关,包括肥胖和 2 型糖尿病。化合物 3j 是一种有效的 SCD 抑制剂(人 HepG2 IC(50)=1nM),是通过对先导噻唑化合物 MF-152 的优化得到的,其效力提高了 100 多倍。在以 0.2mg/kg 进行的为期 4 周的慢性口服给药中,3j 使高脂饮食喂养的小鼠体重增加得到了强有力的 24%预防,同时改善了胰岛素和葡萄糖水平的代谢谱。
