Abstract
In this letter, the series of 3-(4-aryloxyaryl) propanoic acid compounds design, synthesis, structure–activity relationship (SAR) and the ability to modulate the activity of GPR40 is described. The Systematic replacement of aryl, Heteroaryl groups, various substitutions and optimization of chain length led to identification of potent GPR40 agonists. In order to identify candidates suitable for in vivo validation of the target, pharmacokinetic properties were determined for few compounds and further profiling of these compounds are presented. The compound 16 may prove useful for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
Keywords: GPR40, SAR, In-vitro, pharmacokinetics
