Exploration of SAR regarding glucose moiety in novel C-aryl glucoside inhibitors of SGLT2.

In order to investigate SAR regarding glucose moiety in novel C-aryl glucoside SGLT2 inhibitors containing a thiazole motif, a series of chemical modifications on glucose was conducted to explore potential utility as a suitable replacement of glucose per se. Among the compounds prepared, deshydroxy 29 (IC(50)=7.01nM) demonstrated the best in vitro inhibitory activity against SGLT2 in this series to date. But, none of the compounds were better than the parent molecule 5 (IC(50)=1.75nM). Copyright Â
