Bile acid signaling and metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract have wide-ranging influences on systemic disease. G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1, TGR5) is one of the major effectors in bile acid sensing, with demonstrated influence on metabolic, inflammatory, and proliferative processes. The pharmacologic utility of TGR5 agonists has been limited by systemic target-related effects such as excessive gallbladder filling and blockade of gallbladder emptying. Gut-restricted TGR5 agonists, however, have the potential to avoid these side effects and consequently be developed into drugs with acceptable safety profiles. We describe the discovery and optimization of a series of gut-restricted TGR5 agonists that elicit a potent response in mice, with minimal gallbladder-related effects. The series includes 12 (TGR5 EC50: human, 143 nM; mouse, 1.2 nM), a compound with minimal systemic availability that may have therapeutic value to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or inflammatory bowel disease.

We have shown that p-arylthio cinnamides can inhibit the interaction of LFA-1 and ICAM-1, which is involved in cell adhesion and the inflammatory process. We now show that 2,3-disubstitution on the aryl portion of the cinnamide results in enhanced activit
