Synthesis and Evaluation of PPARδAgonists That Promote Osteogenesis in a Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Culture and in a Mouse Model of Human Osteoporosis

We synthesized a directed library of compounds to explore the structure-activity relationships of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ(PPARδ) activation relative to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) osteogenesis. Our scaffold used para-substituted cinnamic acids as a polar headgroup, a heteroatom and heterocycle core connecting units, and substituted phenyl groups for the lipophilic tail. Compounds were screened for their ability to increase osteogenesis in MSCs, and the most promising were examined for subunit specificity using a quantitative PPAR transactivation assay. Six compounds were selected for in vivo studies in an ovariectomized mouse model of human postmenopausal osteoporosis. Four compounds improved bone density in vivo, with two (12d and 31a) having activity comparable to that of GW0742, a well-studied PPARδ-selective agonist. 31a (2-methyl-4-[N-methyl-N-[5-methylene-4-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiazole]]aminocinnamic acid) had the highest selectivity for PPARδcompared to other subtypes, its selectivity far exceeding that of GW0742. Our results confirm that PPARδis a new drug target for possible treatment of osteoporosis via in situ manipulation of MSCs.

Discovery of 3,5-dimethylisoxazole derivatives as novel, potent inhibitors for bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family

Bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) is a promising therapeutic target for various hematologic cancers. We used the BRD4 inhibitor compound 13 as a lead compound to develop a variety of compounds, and we introduced diverse groups into the position of the compound 13 orienting toward the ZA channel. A series of compounds (14–23, 38–41, 43, 47–49) bearing triazolopyridazine motif exhibited remarkable BRD4 protein inhibitory activities. Among them, compound 39 inhibited BRD4(BD1) protein with an IC50 of 0.003 μM was superior to lead compound 13. Meanwhile, compound 39 possess activity, IC50 = 2.1 μM, in antiproliferation activity against U266 cancer cells. On the other hand, compound 39 could arrest tumor cells into the G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis, which was consistent with its results in inhibiting cell proliferation. Biological and biochemical data suggest that BRD4 protein might be a therapeutic target and that compound 39 is an excellent lead compound for further development.

Discovery of first-in-class thiazole-based dual FFA1/PPARδ agonists as potential anti-diabetic agents

The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1 or GPR40) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) have attracted a lot of attention due to their role in promoting insulin secretion and sensibility, respectively, which are two major features of diabetes. Therefore, the dual FFA1/PPARδ agonists would increase insulin secretion and sensibility by FFA1 and PPARδ activation. In this study, we hybrid FFA1 agonist AM-4668 with PPARδ agonist GW501516, leading to the identification of orally bioavailable dual agonist 32, which revealed high selectivity over other PPARs. Moreover, compound 32 exhibited good pharmacokinetic profiles with high plasma concentration, sustained half-life and low clearance in vivo. During the hypoglycemic test, a dual agonist 32 enhanced the tolerance of ob/ob mice for glucose loading in a dose-dependent manner. Our results suggest that dual FFA1/PPARδ agonist could be a valuable therapy for type 2 diabetes.

The present invention relates to a novel biphenyl heterocyclic derivative represented by a general formula (I) and a preparation method thereof and use of a pharmaceutical composition containing the derivative for preparation of a drug for treating diabetes. The biphenyl heterocyclic derivative has extremely excellent hypoglycemic activity in vivo, and excellent in vivo safety and low liver toxicity risk of the compound having such a structure are unexpectedly found, and the novel biphenyl heterocyclic derivative may be used for preventing or treating diabetes.

Discovery of phenylsulfonyl acetic acid derivatives with improved efficacy and safety as potent free fatty acid receptor 1 agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) has emerged as an attractive anti-diabetic target that mediates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Several FFA1 agonists have been reported, but many of them possessed somewhat high lipophilicity and/or molecular weight. Herein, we describe the identification of sulfone-carboxylic acid moiety with the multiple advantages of reducing lipophilicity, cytotoxicity and β-oxidation associated with compound 2. Further structure-activity relationship study based on the previleged scaffolds led to the discovery of 2-{(4-[(2’-chloro-[1,1’-biphenyl]-3-yl)methoxy]phenyl)sulfonyl}acetic acid (compound 20), which showed a better balance than compound 2 in terms of physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity profiles and pharmacokinetic properties. Subsequent in vivo studies demonstrated that compound 20 robustly improves the glucose tolerance both in normal and type 2 diabetic models without the risk of hypoglycemia. Compared to the high risk of TAK-875 induced liver toxicity, there was no significant adverse effects such as hepatic and renal toxicity were observed in the chronic toxicity studies of compound 20 even at the higher dose.

The sulphone acid derivative has excellent in-vivo blood glucose decreasing activity, and can be used for preventing or treating diabetes. (The formula is shown in the description).

Design, synthesis and Structure-activity relationship studies of new thiazole-based free fatty acid receptor 1 agonists for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1/GPR40) has attracted interest as a novel target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Several series of FFA1 agonists including TAK-875, the most advanced compound terminated in phase III studies due to concerns about liver toxicity, have been hampered by relatively high molecular weight and lipophilicity. Aiming to develop potent FFA1 agonists with low risk of liver toxicity by decreasing the lipophilicity, the middle phenyl of TAK-875 was replaced by 11 polar five-membered heteroaromatics. Subsequently, systematic exploration of SAR and application of molecular modeling, leads to the identification of compound 44, which was an excellent FFA1 agonist with robustly hypoglycemic effect both in normal and type 2 diabetic mice, low risks of hypoglycemia and liver toxicity even at the twice molar dose of TAK-875. Meanwhile, two important findings were noted. First, the methyl group in our thiazole series occupied a small hydrophobic subpocket which had no interactions with TAK-875. Furthermore, the agonistic activity revealed a good correlation with the dihedral angle between thiazole core and the terminal benzene ring. These results promote the understanding of ligand-binding pocket and might help to design more promising FFA1 agonists.
