A modestly active, nonselective triarylimidazole lead was optimized for binding affinity with the human glucagon receptor. This led to the identification of a 2- and/or 4-alkyl or alkyloxy substituent on the imidazole C4-aryl group as a structural determinant for significant enhancement in binding with the glucagon receptor (e.g., 41, IC50 = 0.053 μM) and selectivity (> 1000 ×) over p38 MAP kinase in this class of compounds.
