Abstract:
:Glucokinase is a key enzyme in glucose homeostasis since it phosphorylates glucose to give glucose-6-phosphate, which is the first step in glycolysis. GK activators have been proven to lower blood-glucose, and therefore have potential as treatments for type 2 diabetes. Here the discovery of pyrazolopyrimidine GKAs is reported. An original singleton hit from a high-throughput screen with micromolar levels of potency was optimised to give compounds with nanomolar activities. Key steps in this success were the introduction of an extra side-chain, which increased potency, and changing the linking functionality from a thioether to an ether, which led to improved potency and lipophilic ligand efficiency. This also led to more stable compounds with improved profiles in biological assays.
