Based on an old phenoxyacetic acid scaffold, CPU014 (compound 14) has been identified as a superior agonist by comprehensive exploration of structure-activity relationship. In vitro toxicity study suggested that CPU014 has lower risk of hepatotoxicity than TAK-875. During acute toxicity study (5–500 mg/kg), a favorable therapeutic window of CPU014 was observed by evaluation of plasma profiles and liver slices. Moreover, CPU014 promotes insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, while no GLP-1 secretion has been enhanced. Other than good pharmacokinetic properties, CPU014 significantly improved glucose tolerance both in normal and diabetic models without the risk of hypoglycemia. These subversive findings provided a safer candidate CPU014, which is currently in preclinical study to assess its potential for the treatment of diabetes.

Free fatty acid 1 (FFA1/GPR40) has attracted extensive attention as a novel target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes for its role in the enhancement of insulin secretion with glucose dependency. Aiming to develop novel potent FFA1 agonists, a new series of phenylpropionic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized on the basis of the modification of chemical cement of TAK-875, AMG-837, and LY2881835. Among them, most promising compounds 7, 14, and 15 were obtained with EC50 values of 82, 79, and 88?nM, exhibiting a powerful agonistic activity compared to TAK-875 (95.1?nM). During Oral glucose tolerance test in normal mice, compound 7, 14, and 15 had significant glucose-lowering effect at the dose of 50?mg/kg. Furthermore, compound 15 (50?mg/kg) also significantly improved in glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetic mice. Herein, we reported the discovery and optimization of a series of potent FFA1 agonists. The discovery supported further exploration surrounding this scaffold.
