Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 Aug 1;22(15):5123-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.05.117. Epub 2012 Jun 17.

Abstract

We disclosed a novel series of G-protein coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) agonists based on a bicyclic amine scaffold. Through the optimization of hit compound 1, we discovered that the basic nitrogen atom of bicyclic amine played an important role in GPR119 agonist activity expression and that an indanone in various bicyclic rings was suitable in this series of compounds. The indanone derivative 2 showed the effect of plasma glucose control in oGTT and scGTT in the rodent model.
