- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent dual agonists of nuclear and membrane bile acid receptors
-
Bile acids exert genomic and nongenomic effects by interacting with membrane G-protein-coupled receptors, including the bile acid receptor GP-BAR1, and nuclear receptors, such as the farnesoid X receptor (FXR). These receptors regulate overlapping metabolic functions; thus, GP-BAR1/FXR dual agonists, by enhancing the biological response, represent an innovative strategy for the treatment of enteroendocrine disorders. Here, we report the design, total synthesis, and in vitro/in vivo pharmacological evaluation of a new generation of dual bile acid receptor agonists, with the most potent compound, 19, showing promising pharmacological profiles. We show that compound 19 activates GP-BAR1, FXR, and FXR regulated genes in the liver, increases the intracellular concentration of cAMP, and stimulates the release of the potent insulinotropic hormone GLP-1, resulting in a promising drug candidate for the treatment of metabolic disorders. We also elucidate the binding mode of the most potent dual agonists in the two receptors through a series of computations providing the molecular basis for dual GP-BAR1/FXR agonism.
