Discovery and Structure-Activity Relationships of Piperidinone- and Piperidine-Constrained Phenethylamines as Novel, Potent, and Selective Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitors
文摘
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitors are emerging as a new class of therapeutic agents for the treatmentof type 2 diabetes. They exert their beneficial effects by increasing the levels of active glucagon-like peptide-1and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, which are two important incretins for glucose homeostasis.Starting from a high-throughput screening hit, we were able to identify a series of piperidinone- and piperidine-constrained phenethylamines as novel DPP4 inhibitors. Optimized compounds are potent, selective, andhave good pharmacokinetic profiles.
