A novel series of pyrrolidine-containing GPR40 agonists is described as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes. The initial pyrrolidine hit was modified by moving the position of the carboxylic acid, a key pharmacophore for GPR40. Addition of a 4-cis-CF3 to the pyrrolidine improves the human GPR40 binding Ki and agonist efficacy. After further optimization, the discovery of a minor enantiomeric impurity with agonist activity led to the finding that enantiomers (R,R)-68 and (S,S)-68 have differential effects on the radioligand used for the binding assay, with (R,R)-68 potentiating the radioligand and (S,S)-68 displacing the radioligand. Compound (R,R)-68 activates both Gq-coupled intracellular Ca2+ flux and Gs-coupled cAMP accumulation. This signaling bias results in a dual mechanism of action for compound (R,R)-68, demonstrating glucose-dependent insulin and GLP-1 secretion in vitro. In vivo, compound (R,R)-68 significantly lowers plasma glucose levels in mice during an oral glucose challenge, encouraging further development of the series.

Pyrimidine derivatives useful as a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent, represented by formula STR1 wherein X is O or NR5, Y is O, S or NR5 wherein R5 is a hydrogen atom, a C1 -C6 alkyl group or the like; R1 and R2 may be the same or different and each is a hydrogen atom, a C1 -C6 alkyl group or the like; R3 is CN, or COOR6 wherein R6 is a C1 -C6 alkyl group, a C3 -C6 cycloalkyl group, an aryl group or the like; R4 is --SR7 or --NR8 R9 wherein R7 is a C1 -C6 alkyl group; R8 is a C1 -C6 alkyl group or the like; R9 is a hydrogen atom, a C1 -C6 alkyl group or the like, or R8 and R9 may represent, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, an N-substituted piperazine ring of formula (X) STR2 wherein R10 represents a C1 -C6 alkyl group or the like or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof. The above-mentioned compounds are useful as a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent used for the therapy of digestive tract diseases.
