Abstract: A series of novel spirocyclic DGAT1 inhibitors containing the oxadiazole motif were designed and synthesized for biological evaluation. Several compounds exhibited potent diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitory activity. Optimization of the series led to the identification of five lead compounds 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 that showed excellent in-vitro activity with IC50 values ranging from 7 to 20 nM against human DGAT1. All compounds demonstrated good druggability as well as microsomal stability and safety profiles such as hERG and CYP. Compound 12 significantly reduced plasma triglyceride levels in-vivo in the mouse model of acute lipid challenge. Significant reduction in plasma TG excursion was observed, thus indicating DGAT1 inhibition in-vivo.
