ABSTRACT
We herein outline the design of a new series of agonists of the pancreatic and GI-expressed orphan G-protein coupled receptor GPR119, a target that has been of significant recent interest in the field of metabolism, starting from our prototypical agonist AR231453. A number of key parameters were improved first by incorporation of a pyrazolopyrimidine core to create a new structural series and secondly by the introduction of a piperidine ether group capped with a carbamate. Chronic treatment with one compound from the series, 3k, showed for the first time that blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels could be significantly reduced in Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats over several weeks of dosing. As a result of these and other data described here, 3k (APD668, JNJ-28630368) was the first compound with this mechanism of action to be progressed into clinical development for the treatment of diabetes.
