The therapeutic success of peptidic GLP-1 receptor agonists for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) motivated our search for orally bioavailable small molecules that can activate the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) as a well-validated target for T2DM. Here, the discovery and characterization of a potent and selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) for GLP-1R based on a 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-1,5-epiminoazocino[4,5-b]indole scaffold is reported. Optimization of this series from HTS was supported by a GLP-1R ligand binding model. Biological in vitro testing revealed favorable ADME and pharmacological profiles for the best compound 19. Characterization by in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacological studies demonstrated that 19 activates GLP-1R as positive allosteric modulator (PAM) in the presence of the much less active endogenous degradation product GLP1(9-36)NH2 of the potent endogenous ligand GLP-1(7-36)NH2. While these data suggest the potential of small molecule GLP-1R PAMs for T2DM treatment, further optimization is still required towards a clinical candidate.

The utility of 4-substituted prolinols and their corresponding prolines in peptides, peptidomimetics, and natural products has motivated researchers to find new and efficient routes for their preparation. Herein, we report a general approach to the synthesis of Boc-protected 4-alkylprolinols and prolines via a divergent asymmetric hydrogenation strategy. Intermediate exocyclic olefins were prepared by Wittig-type reactions with ketone 6 and subjected to hydroxyl and sterically directed reductions. The Crabtree catalyst (Ir[COD] PyPCy3PF6) proved to be highly effective in diastereoselective hydrogenations to give trans- substituted pyrrolidines (9). Good facial selectivities were also observed in heterogeneous hydrogenations with Raney-nickel to obtain cis-substituted pyrrolidines (11). Employing this strategy, we describe the synthesis of novel prolinol and proline-based building blocks for incorporation into biologically relevant peptidomimetics.
