- G-PROTEIN-CONJUGATED RECEPTOR AGONIST
-
Disclosed is a novel aralkyl carboxylic acid compound which has an agonistic activity on GPR-120 and/or GPR-40, particularly GPR-120, and is therefore useful as an appetite regulator, an anti-obesity agent, a therapeutic agent for diabetes, a pancreatic beta differentiating cell growth enhancer, a therapeutic agent for metabolic syndrome, a therapeutic agent for a gastrointestinal disease, a therapeutic agent for a neuropathy, a therapeutic agent for a mental disorder, a therapeutic agent for a pulmonary disease, a therapeutic agent for a pituitary hormone secretion disorder or a lipid flavoring/seasoning agent. The aralkyl carboxylic acid compound is represented by the general formula (I). (I) wherein the ring Q represents a pyridyl or the like; R1 represents a C1-6 alkyl group or the like; R2 represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-4 alkyl group or a C1-4 alkoxy group; m and n independently represent an integer of 1 to 5; and X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or - NR3- [wherein R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group].

- Identification of G protein-coupled receptor 120-selective agonists derived from PPARγ agonists
-
A weak, nonselective G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR 120) agonist 10 was found by screening a series of carboxylic acids derived from the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist 3. Modification based on the homology model of GPR12
