Abstract

A series of novel tetrahydropyridine derivatives were prepared and evaluated using cell-based measurements. Systematic optimization of general structure G-1 led to the identification of compound 35 (EC(50) = 4.9 nM) and 37 (EC(50) = 8.8 nM) with high GPR119 agonism activity and moderate clog P. Through single and long-term pharmacodynamic experiments, we found that compound35 showed a hypoglycemic effect and may have an effect on improving basal metabolic rate in DIO mice. Both in vitro and in vivo tests indicated that compound 35 was a potential potent GPR119 agonist in allusion to T2DM treatment.
