Abstract

A novel aryl ether substituted heterocyclic compound has GLP1R agonist activity. Specifically, the compound of formula (I) can be used as a GLP1R agonist. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, isotope substituent or isomer of the compound are also provided. A method for preventing and/or treating diseases related to the GLP1/GLP1R signaling pathway includes the step of administering to a patient a preventive or therapeutically effective amount the compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or an enantiomer thereof.

Claims (57)

1 . A compound of Formula (IE), pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or enantiomers thereof,

wherein,

=represents a single bond;

X represents —O—;

X′ represents —C(R d1 )(R d2 )—;

L represents —O—;

X 1 represents —N—;

X 3 represents —N—;

X 8 represents —CR 5 — or —N—;

R is 5- to 8-membered heteroaryl, 3- to 8-membered saturated or partially saturated heterocyclyl, or 3- to 8-membered saturated or partially saturated cycloalkyl, and wherein the heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, and cycloalkyl are optionally substituted with one to multiple substituent groups independently selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 2-methyl-propyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl, pentyl, and hexyl;

each R 1 is the same or different and is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, C 1-10 alkyl, halogen-substituted C 1-10 alkyl, deuterium substituted C 1-10 alkyl, and —COOH;

each R 4 is the same or different and is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, C 1-10 alkyl, and C 1-10 alkoxy;

R 5 is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, CN, C 1-10 alkyl, C 2-10 alkynyl, and C 1-10 alkoxy;

each R 6 is the same or different and is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, CN, C 1-10 alkyl, C 2-10 alkynyl, and C 1-10 alkoxy;

R d1 and R d2 are independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, and C 1-10 alkyl;

m is an integer selected from 1 and 2;

n is an integer selected from 0, 1 and 2; and

q is an integer selected from 0, 1 and 2.

2 . The compound according to claim 1 , pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or enantiomers thereof, wherein R is oxetanyl or imidazolyl, wherein the oxetanyl or imidazolyl is optionally substituted with methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, 2-methyl-propyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl, pentyl, or hexyl.

3 . The compound according to claim 1 , pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or enantiomers thereof, wherein,

each R 1 is the same or different and is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, F and —COOH;

each R 4 is the same or different and is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, F and methyl;

R 5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium and F;

each R 6 is the same or different and is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, ethynyl and CN.

4 . The compound according to claim 1 , pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or enantiomers thereof, wherein, m is 1; n is 0; q is 2.

8 . A method of treating a disease comprising administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 5 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or enantiomer thereof, wherein the disease is overweight, diabetes, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, adipocyte dysfunction, visceral fat deposition, sleep apnea, obesity, weight gain due to use of other drugs, dyslipidemia, NAFLD, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis sclerosis, or peripheral vascular disease.

9 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 5 .

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the disease is overweight or obesity.
