The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) has gained significant interest as a novel antidiabetic target. Most of FFA1 agonists reported in the literature bearing a common biphenyl scaffold, which was crucial for toxicity verified by the researchers of Daiichi Sankyo. Herein, we describe the systematic exploration of non-biphenyl scaffold and further chemical modification of the optimal pyrrole scaffold. All of these efforts led to the identification of compound 11 as a potent and orally bioavailable FFA1 agonist without the risk of hypoglycemia. Further molecular modeling studies promoted the understanding of ligand-binding pocket and might help to design more promising FFA1 agonists.

The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative benzylation of α-cyano aliphatic carboxylate salts with benzyl electrophiles was discovered. This reaction exhibits good functional group compatibility and proceeds under relatively mild conditions. A diverse range of quaternary, tertiary and secondary β-aryl nitriles can be conveniently prepared by this method. Copyright
