Abstract

Provided herein are compounds, compositions including them, and methods of modulating GPR120 activity and treating diseases mediated by GPR120 by administering such compounds and compositions.

Claims (29)

1. A compound represented by any one of formulas:

wherein

W is O;

each X independently is CH, CR 3 or N wherein R 3 is halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, or CN;

Y is SO 2 , CO, CH 2 , —C(CH 3 ) 2 —, or —CH(CH 3 )—;

Z is —CH 2 —, —CH(CH 3 )—, —C(CH 3 ) 2 —,

R 1 is an unsubstituted 3-7 membered cycloalkyl, a substituted 3-7 membered cycloalkyl, an unsubstituted heterocyclyl, a substituted heterocyclyl, an unsubstituted aryl, a substituted aryl, an unsubstituted heteroaryl, or a substituted heteroaryl; and

R 2 is H, halogen, CN, OCH 3 , OCF 3 , NH-acyl, an unsubstituted alkyl, a substituted alkyl, an unsubstituted carboxamide, a substituted carboxamide, an unsubstituted sulfonamido, a substituted sulfonamido, an unsubstituted cycloalkyl, a substituted cycloalkyl, an unsubstituted heterocyclyl, a substituted heterocyclyl, an unsubstituted aryl, a substituted aryl, an unsubstituted heteroaryl, or a substituted heteroaryl.

2. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

3. A method for agonizing GPR120, comprising contacting the GPR120 with the compound of claim 1 .

4. A method for modulating metabolism in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with an amount of the compound of claim 1 effective to modulate metabolism in the mammal.

5. A method for modulating metabolism in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal an amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 effective to modulate metabolism in the mammal.

6. A method for reducing inflammation in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with an amount of the compound of claim 1 effective to reduce the inflammation.

7. A method for reducing inflammation in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal an amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 effective to reduce the inflammation.

8. A method for reducing neuroinflammation in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with an amount of the compound of claim 1 effective to reduce the neuroinflammation.

9. A method for reducing neuroinflammation in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal an amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 effective to reduce neuroinflammation.

10. A method for treating diabetes, pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome, or one or more symptoms of each thereof in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 1 .

11. A method for treating diabetes, pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome, or one or more symptoms of each thereof in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 .

12. A method for treating steatohepatitis in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 1 .

13. A method for treating steatohepatitis in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 .

14. A method for treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 1 .

15. A method for treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 .

16. A method for treating a disorder associated with, leading to, or resulting from neuroinflammation in a mammal, comprising contacting GPR120 in the mammal with a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 1 .

17. A method for treating a disorder associated with, leading to, or resulting from neuroinflammation in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 .

18. A method for treating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multi-system atrophy, or one or more symptoms of each thereof, comprising contacting GPR120 in the patient with a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 1 .

19. A method for treating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multi-system atrophy, or one or more symptoms of each thereof, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 .

20. A compound of the structure

or a tautomer thereof, or an isotopomer thereof, or a stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of each thereof, or a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate of each of the foregoing.

21. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of claim 20 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
