Discovery of novel pyrimidine and malonamide derivatives as TGR5 agonists

초록

Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is a promising molecular target for metabolic diseases. A series of 4-(2,5-dichlorophenoxy)pyrimidine and cyclopropylmalonamide derivatives were synthesized as potent agonists of TGR5 based on a bioisosteric replacement strategy. Several compounds exhibited improved potency, compared to a reference compound with a pyridine scaffold. The pharmacokinetic profile of the representative compound 18 was considered moderate.
