Novel bisaryl substituted thiazoles and oxazoles as highly potent and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ agonists

The discovery, synthesis, and optimization of compound 1 from a high-throughput screening hit to highly potent and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) agonists are reported. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship in this series are described in detail. On the basis of a general schematic PPAR pharmacophore model, scaffold 1 was divided into headgroup, linker, and tailgroup and successively optimized for PPAR activation using in vitro PPAR transactivation assays. A (2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid headgroup, a flexible linker, and a five-membered heteroaromatic center ring with two hydrophobic aryl substituents were required for efficient and selective PPARδ activation. The fine-tuning of these aryl substituents led to an array of highly potent and selective compounds such as compound 38c, displaying an excellent pharmacokinetic profile in mouse. In an in vivo acute dosing model, selected members of this array were shown to induce the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 (PDK4) and uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3), genes that are known to be involved in energy homeostasis and regulated by PPARδ in skeletal muscle.

Antidiabetic agents

The instant invention is concerned with acetylphenols which are useful as antiobesity and antidiabetic compounds. Compositions and methods for the use of the compounds in the treatment of diabetes and obesity and for lowering or modulating triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels or raising high density lipoprotein levels or for increasing gut motility or for treating atherosclerosis are also disclosed.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of phenylacetyl derivatives having low central nervous system permeability as potent and selective M2 muscarinic receptor antagonists

A series of phenylacetyl derivatives containing the 5,10-dihydro-11H- dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin-11-one or 5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido[2,3- b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one skeleton was prepared and evaluated for their binding affinities to muscarinic receptors in vitro and for antagonism of bradycardia, salivation and tremor in vivo. Among them, compounds 56 and 66 had high affinity for M2 muscarinic receptors in the heart (pK(i) = 8.7 and 8.9, respectively) with low affinity for M3 muscarinic receptors in the submandibular gland. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study suggested that the high M2 selectivity over the M3 muscarinic receptors of 56 may be attributed to the direction of the carboxamide carbonyl group. In in vivo studies, 56 and 66 antagonized oxotremorine-induced bradycardia in rats on both intravenous and oral administration, and their heart rate increasing effect in dogs with nocturnal bradycardia was about 3-fold greater than that of AF-DX 116. Furthermore, they had almost no influence on oxotremorine- induced tremor in mice, presenting no evidence of central transfer.
