We report our discovery of a novel series of potent and selective dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitors. Starting from a lead identified by scaffold-hopping approach, our discovery and development efforts were focused on exploring structure-activity relationships, optimizing pharmacokinetic profile, improving in vitro and in vivo efficacy, and evaluating safety profile. The selected candidate, Imigliptin, is now undergoing clinical trial.
我们报告了我们发现的一系列新型强效且选择性的二肽基肽酶IV(DPP-4)抑制剂。从通过骨架跃迁方法确定的先导化合物开始,我们的发现和开发工作集中在探索构效关系、优化药代动力学特征、提高体外和体内疗效以及评估安全性方面。所选候选药物依米格列汀目前正在进行临床试验。
