Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a leading cause of acute hepatic failure and liver transplantation, while the existing treatments are poorly effective. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective therapeutic drugs for APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a potential target for the treatment of liver disease, and the activation of FXR protects mice against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. Compound 5, a glycine-conjugated derivative of FXR agonist 4, was designed to extend the chemical space of existing FXR agonists. Molecular modeling study indicated that compound 5 formed hydrogen bond network with key residues of FXR. Moreover, compound 5 (10?mg/kg) revealed better protective effects against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity than parent compound 4 (30?mg/kg). Further mechanical research indicated that compound 5 regulated the expressions of genes related to FXR and oxidative stress. These findings suggest that compound 5 is a promising FXR agonist suitable for further research, and it is the first time to verify that the glycine-conjugated derivative five exerted better protective effects than its parent compound.

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays a key role in bile acid homeostasis, inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolism of lipid and glucose and becomes a promising therapeutic target for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or other FXR-dependent diseases. The phase III trial results of obeticholic acid demonstrate that the FXR agonists emerge as a promising intervention in patients with NASH and fibrosis, but this bile acid-derived FXR agonist brings severe pruritus and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease for patients. Herein, we reported our efforts in the discovery of a series of non-bile acid FXR agonists, and 36 compounds were designed and synthesized based on the structure-based drug design and structural optimization strategies. Particularly, compound 42 is a highly potent and selective FXR agonist, along with good pharmacokinetic profiles, high liver distribution, and preferable in vivo efficacy, indicating that it is a potential candidate for the treatment of NASH or other FXR-dependent diseases.
