Discovery of novel 5-oxa-2,6-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-6-ene derivatives as potent, selective, and orally available somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) antagonists for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) has emerged as a novel attractive drug target for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Starting from N-benzyl azetidine derivatives 1 and 2 as in-house hit compounds, we explored the introduction of a carboxyl group into the terminal benzene of 1 to enhance SSTR5 antagonistic activity by the combination of the substituents at the 3-position of the isoxazoline. Incorporation of a carboxyl group at the 4-position of the benzene ring resulted in a significant enhancement in potency, however, the 4-benzoic acid derivative 10c exhibited moderate human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) inhibitory activity. A subsequent optimization study revealed that replacement of the 4-benzoic acid with an isonipecotic acid dramatically reduced hERG inhibition (5.6% inhibition at 30μM) by eliminating π-related interaction with hERG K+ channel, which resulted in the identification of 1-(2-((2,6-diethoxy-4'-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl)-5-oxa-2,6-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-6-en-7-yl)piperidin-4-carboxylic acid 25a (hSSTR5/mSSTR5 IC50 =9.6/57nM). Oral administration of 25a in high-fat diet fed C57BL/6J mice augmented insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and lowered blood glucose concentration.
