Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists are emerging as potential therapeutics for the treatment of various metabolic diseases, as they display multiple effects on bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Although the steroidal obeticholic acid, a full FXR agonist, was recently approved, several side effects probably due to insufficient pharmacological selectivity impede its further clinical application. Activating FXR in a partial manner is therefore crucial in the development of novel FXR modulators. Our efforts focusing on isoxazole-type FXR agonists, common nonsteroidal agonists for FXR, led to the discovery a series of novel FXR agonists bearing aryl urea moieties through structural simplification of LJN452 (phase 2). Encouragingly, compound 11k was discovered as a potent FXR agonist which exhibited similar FXR agonism potency but lower maximum efficacy compared to full agonists GW4064 and LJN452 in cell-based FXR transactivation assay. Extensive in vitro evaluation further confirmed partial efficacy of 11k in cellular FXR-dependent gene modulation, and revealed its lipid-reducing activity. More importantly, orally administration of 11k in mice exhibited desirable pharmacokinetic characters resulting in promising in vivo FXR agonistic activity.

The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a promising therapeutic target for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other bile acid related diseases because it plays a critical role in fibrosis, inflammation and bile acid homeostasis. Obeticholic acid (OCA), a FXR agonist which was synthesized from chenodeoxycholic acid, showed desirable curative effects in clinical trials. However, the pruritus which was the main side effect of OCA limited its further applications in NASH. Although pruritus was also observed in the clinical trials of non-steroidal FXR agonists, the proportion of patients with pruritus was much smaller than that of OCA. Thus, we decided to develop non-steroidal FXR agonists and discovered a series of novel FXR agonists which were synthesized from GW4064 by replacing the stilbene group with ketoxime ether. Encouragingly, in the following biological tests, our target compounds 13j and 13z not only showed potent FXR agonistic activities in vitro, but also effectively promoted the expression of target genes in vivo. More importantly, in the pharmacokinetic experiments, compounds 13j and 13z displayed high liver/blood ratio characteristics which were helpful to reduce the potential side effects which were caused by prolonged systemic activation of FXR. In summary, our compounds were good choices for the development of non-steroidal FXR agonists and were deserved further investigation.
