Novel C-aryl glucoside SGLT2 inhibitors as potential antidiabetic agents: 1,3,4-Thiadiazolylmethylphenyl glucoside congeners

Bioorg Med Chem. 2010 Mar 15;18(6):2178-2194. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2010.01.073. Epub 2010 Feb 4.

Abstract

Novel C-aryl glucoside SGLT2 inhibitors containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole moieties were designed and synthesized. Among the compounds tested, biaryl-type compounds containing pyrazine 59, 2-furan 61, and 3-thiophene 71 showed the best in vitro inhibitory activities to date (IC(50) = 3.51-7.03 nM) against SGLT2. A selected compound 61, demonstrated reasonable blood glucose-lowering effects, indicating that the information obtained from the SAR studies in this 1,3,4-thiadiazolylmethylphenyl glucoside series might help to design more active SGLT2 inhibitors that are structurally related.
