As part of a program to identify potent GPR40 agonists with drug-like properties suitable for clinical development, the incorporation of polar substituents was explored with the intention of decreasing the lipophilicity of our recently disclosed phenylpropanoic acid derivative 1. This incorporation would allow us to mitigate the cytotoxicity issues observed with compound 1 and enable us to move away from the multifunctional free fatty acid-like structure. Substitutions on the 2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl ring were initially undertaken, which revealed the feasibility of introducing polar functionalities at the biphenyl 4′-position. Further optimization of this position and the linker led to the discovery of several 4′-alkoxybiphenyl derivatives, which showed potent GPR40 agonist activities with the best balance in terms of improved cytotoxicity profiles and favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Among them, 3-{2-fluoro-4-[({4′-[(4-hydroxy-1,1-dioxidotetrahydro-2H-thiopyran- 4-yl)methoxy]-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl}methyl)amino]phenyl} propanoic acid (35) exhibited a robust plasma glucose-lowering effect and insulinotropic action during an oral glucose tolerance test in rats with impaired glucose tolerance.

[Problem] The present invention has an object to provide a compound having a GPR40 agonistic activity, which is useful as a pharmaceutical composition, an insulin secretion promoter, or an agent for preventing/treating diabetes. [Means for Solution] The present inventors have extensively studied a compound having a GPR40 agonistic activity, and as a result, they have found that the compound (I) of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in which a carboxylic acid is bonded to a bicyclic or tricyclic moiety through methylene, and further, a benzene ring substituted with a monocyclic 6-membered aromatic ring is bonded to a bicyclic or tricyclic moiety through —O-methylene or —NH-methylene, has an excellent GPR40 agonistic activity. They have also found that the compound has an excellent insulin secretion promoting action and strongly inhibits increase in the blood glucose after glucose loading, thereby completing the present invention.
