- 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.

- Discovery of 2-phenylthiazole-4-carboxylic acid, a novel and potent scaffold as xanthine oxidase inhibitors
-
The xanthine oxidase (XO) plays an important role in producing uric acid, and therefore XO inhibitors are considered as one of the promising therapies for hyperuricemia and gout. We have previously reported a series of XO inhibitors with pyrazole scaffold to extend the chemical space of current XO inhibitors. Herein, we describe further structural optimization to explore the optimal heterocycle by replacing the thiazole ring of Febuxostat with 5 heterocycle scaffolds unexplored in this field. All of these efforts resulted in the identification of compound 8, a potent XO inhibitor (IC50 = 48.6 nM) with novel 2-phenylthiazole-4-carboxylic acid scaffold. Moreover, lead compound 8 exhibited hypouricemic effect in potassium oxonate-hypoxanthine-induced hyperuricemic mice. These results promote the understanding of ligand-receptor interaction and might help to design more promising XO inhibitors.

- Biphenyl heterocyclic derivatives, their preparation and their use as medicaments (by machine translation)
-
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.

- Rhodium(I)-Catalyzed Coupling-Cyclization of C=O Bonds with α-Diazoketones
-
An unprecedented intermolecular nucleophilic attack of C=X bonds (X = O and S) on the rhodium(I)-carbenes has been developed. This transformation allows for the coupling-cyclization of aroylamides with α-diazoketones and provides concise access to 2,4,5-trisubstituted 1,3-oxazoles and 1,3-thiazoles with a broad tolerance of functional groups.

- 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.

- Palladium-catalyzed sequential C-N/C-O bond formations: Synthesis of oxazole derivatives from amides and ketones
-
A highly efficient method for the synthesis of oxazole derivatives from simple amides and ketones has been established via a Pd(II)-catalyzed sp2 C-H activation pathway in one step. The reaction is supposed to proceed through a C-N bond formation followed by a C-O bond formation closing the ring. Because of the simple and readily available starting materials, easy operation, and high bioactivity of oxazoles, this strategy can be broadly applied to medical chemistry.

- Synthesis of substituted oxazoles from enamides
-
Annulation of enamides into 2,5- and 2,4,5-substituted oxazoles by NBS/Me2S in the presence of mild base has been achieved. The reaction conditions are simple and tolerant to a wide variety of substituents including both electron-donating and withdrawing groups to produce oxazoles in one-pot without further purification of the intermediate.

- Towards Gram-negative antivirulence drugs: New inhibitors of HldE kinase
-
Gram-negative bacteria lacking heptoses in their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) display attenuated virulence and increased sensitivity to human serum and to some antibiotics. Thus inhibition of bacterial heptose synthesis represents an attractive target for the development of new antibacterial agents. HldE is a bifunctional enzyme involved in the synthesis of bacterial heptoses. Development of a biochemical assay suitable for high-throughput screening allowed the discovery of inhibitors 1 and 2 of HldE kinase. Study of the structure-activity relationship of this series of inhibitors led to highly potent compounds.

N-Acylisoxazol-5-ones lose carbon dioxide under photochemical and thermal conditions affording iminocarbenes which undergo intramolecular cyclisation through the oxygen of the acyl group to give oxazoles. Under photochemical conditions those acylisoxazolones with electron withdrawing groups at C-4 usually give high yields of oxazoles, while those with electron donating groups at C-4 give only poor yields: the reverse is observed under thermal conditions.
