The long chain free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120) has recently been recognized as lipid sensor playing important roles in nutrient sensing and inflammation and thus holds potential as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To explore the effects of stimulating this receptor in animal models of metabolic disease, we initiated work to identify agonists with appropriate pharmacokinetic properties to support progression into in vivo studies. Extensive SAR studies of a series of phenylpropanoic acids led to the identification of compound 29, a FFA4 agonist which lowers plasma glucose in two preclinical models of type 2 diabetes.

In order to define new PPARβ/δ ligands, SAR study on the selective PPARβ/δ activator L-165,041 led to the identification of one key functional group for selective PPARβ/δ activation. Furthermore, taking advantage of SAR studies done elsewhere on the most selective PPARβ/δ ligand GW501516, the conception of new ligands showing good affinity for PPARβ/δ is reported. Finally, synthesis and biological evaluation of pyridine analogues have shown the benefical effect of the pyridine ring on the PPARβ/δ subtype selectivity.
