摘要
GPR120 (FFAR4) is a fatty acid sensing G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that has been identified as a target for possible treatment of type 2 diabetes. A selective activator of GPR120 containing a chromane scaffold has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vivo. Results of these efforts suggest that chromane propionic acid 18 is a suitable tool molecule for further animal studies. Compound 18 is selective over the closely related target GPR40 (FFAR1), has a clean off-target profile, demonstrates suitable pharmacokinetic properties, and has been evaluated in wild-type/knockout GPR120 mouse oGTT studies.
