Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive cluster of metabolic disorders, representing a global public health burden affecting more than 366 million people worldwide. We recently reported the discovery of three series of novel agents showing balanced activity on two metabolic receptors, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) and free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1), also known as GPCR40. Our designing strategy relied on linking the thiazolidinedione head with known GPCR privilege structures. To further investigate this concept, two new scaffolds, the benzhydrol- and indole-based chemotypes, were introduced here in. Our optimization campaign resulted in three compounds; 15a, 15c, and 15d, with affinities in the low micromolar range on both targets. In vivo study of selected test compounds, revealed that 15c possesses a significant anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic activities superior to rosiglitazone in fat-fed animal models. Molecular docking analysis was conducted to explain the binding modes of both series. These compounds could lead to the development of the unique antidiabetic agent acting as insulin sensitizer as well as insulin secretagogue.

Alternative approaches to the preparation of azolylethyl benzhydryl ethers have been studied. It was shown that the reaction of diphenylmethyl halide with 2-(azol-1-yl)ethanol in the presence of triethylamine is the optimum way. An efficient method for the synthesis of 2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethanol using phase-transfer catalysis has been developed.

The introduction of lipophilic groups onto the ring nitrogen of nipecotic acid and guvacine, two known GABA uptake inhibitors, afforded potent, orally-active anticonvulsant drugs.A series of compounds is reported which explores the structure-activity relationships (SAR) in this series.Among the areas explored: side-chain SAR (aromatic-, heterocyclic-, and tricyclic-containing side chains) and modifications to the tetrahydropyridine ring.The benzhydrol ether-containing side chains afforded the most potent compounds with several exhibiting in vitro IC50 values for GABA uptake of 1 μM (including 5, Table I; 37, 43, Table IV; and 44, Table V).Compound 44 was selected for extensive evaluation and subsequently progressed to Phase 1 clinical trials with severe adverse effects seen after single dose administration to humans.
