Abstract: The lead optimization studies of a series of GPR119 agonists incorporating a nortropanol scaffold are described. Extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the lead compound 20f led to the identification of compound 36j as a potent, single digit nanomolar GPR119 agonist with high agonist activity. Compound 36j was orally active in lowering blood glucose levels in a mouse oral glucose tolerance test and increased plasma insulin levels in a rat hyperglycemic model. It showed good to excellent pharmacokinetic properties in rats and monkeys and no untoward activities in counter-screen assays. Compound 36j demonstrated an attractive in vitro and in vivo profile for further development.
