Abstract: The discovery and optimization of potent and selective aminobenzimidazole glucagon receptor antagonists are described. One compound possessing moderate pharmacokinetic properties in multiple preclinical species was orally efficacious at inhibiting glucagon-mediated glucose excursion in transgenic mice expressing the human glucagon receptor, and in rhesus monkeys. The compound also significantly lowered glucose levels in a murine model of diabetes.
