GPR120 is an attractive target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this study, a series of biphenyl derivatives were designed, synthesized by hybrid design. The selected compound 6a exhibited potent GPR120 agonist activity (EC = 93 nM) and high selectivity over GPR40. The results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) demonstrated that 6a exhibited significant glucose-lowering effect in glucose-loaded ICR male mice. Analysis of the structure-activity relationship is also presented. Compound 6a deserves further biological evaluation and structural modifications.
GPR120是治疗2型糖尿病的一个有吸引力的靶点。在本研究中,通过杂化设计设计并合成了一系列联苯衍生物。所选化合物6a表现出强效的GPR120激动剂活性(EC = 93 nM),并且对GPR40具有高选择性。口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)结果表明,6a在葡萄糖负荷的ICR雄性小鼠中表现出显著的降糖作用。还介绍了构效关系分析。化合物6a值得进一步进行生物学评价和结构修饰。
