Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which belongs to the family of incretins, plays important role for the regulation of plasma glucose. Accordingly, GLP-1-based therapies for type 2 diabetes have recognized as one of the most interesting target. In this study, we have found the new tricyclic compounds having strong GLP-1 secretion from human intestinal L cells, and anti-diabetic properties in spontaneously obese and diabetic KKAy mice. The most potent compound 5ka was obtained as the unexpected product, and we would like to report the details of the synthesis, structure elucidations, pharmacological activities on secretion of GLP-1, and anti-diabetic effects using diabetic KKAy mice.
