Abstract

Given its role in the mediation of energy and glucose homeostasis, the G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (TGR5) is considered a potential target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and other metabolic disorders. By thorough analysis of diverse structures of published TGR5 agonists, a hypothetical ligand-based pharmacophore model was built, and a new class of potent TGR5 agonists, based on the novel 3,4,5-trisubstituted 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole core, ...
