a-Amino acid residues with a ?,? constrained conformation are known to significantly bias the peptide backbone 3D structure. An intriguing member of this class of compounds is (aMe)Aze, characterized by an Na-alkylated four-membered ring and Ca-methylation. We have already reported that (S)-(aMe)Aze, when followed by (S)-Ala in the homochiral dipeptide sequential motif -(S)-(aMe)Aze-(S)-Ala-, tends to generate the unprecedented ?-bend ribbon conformation, as formation of a regular, fully intramolecularly H-bonded ?-helix is precluded, due to the occurrence of a tertiary amide bond every two residues. In this work, we have expanded this study to the preparation and 3D structural analysis of the heterochiral (S)-Ala/(R)-(aMe)Aze sequential peptides from dimer to hexamer. Our conformational results show that members of this series may fold in type-II ?-turns or in ?-turns depending on the experimental conditions.
Discovery and optimization of an azetidine chemical series as a free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFA2) antagonist: From hit to clinic

FFA2, also called GPR43, is a G-protein coupled receptor for short chain fatty acids which is involved in the mediation of inflammatory responses. A class of azetidines was developed as potent FFA2 antagonists. Multiparametric optimization of early hits with moderate potency and suboptimal ADME properties led to the identification of several compounds with nanomolar potency on the receptor combined with excellent pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. The most advanced compound, 4-[[(R)-1-(benzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonyl)-2-methyl-azetidine-2-carbonyl]-(3-chloro-benzyl)-amino]-butyric acid 99 (GLPG0974), is able to inhibit acetate-induced neutrophil migration strongly in vitro and demonstrated ability to inhibit a neutrophil-based pharmacodynamic (PD) marker, CD11b activation-specific epitope [AE], in a human whole blood assay. All together, these data supported the progression of 99 toward next phases, becoming the first FFA2 antagonist to reach the clinic.
