Abstract

The design and synthesis of a novel class of low-absorbable SGLT1 inhibitors are described. To achieve low absorption in the new series, we performed an optimization study based on a strategy to increase TPSA. Fortunately, the optimization of an aglycon moiety and a side chain of the distal aglycon moiety led to the identification of compound 30b as a potent and low-absorbable SGLT1 Inhibitor. Compound 30b showed a desirable PK profile in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and a favorable glucose-lowering effect in diabetic rats.
