GCC5694A
Context. GCC5694A (GC Pharma (Green Cross)) is an oral SGLT2 inhibitor. SGLT2 inhibitors help glycemic control in diabetes by preventing reabsorption of glucose in the kidney. Dapagliflozin was the first SGLT2 inhibitor approved in the EU (2012), and canagliflozin was the first to be approved in the US (2013). We recently highlighted [...]
aleniglipron
The recently released WHO INN proposed names list includes the structure and name of Structure Therapeutics’ oral small molecule GLP-1R agonist, aleniglipron (GSBR-1290). Seemingly emerging from a “fast-follower” program based on Chugai/Eli Lilly’s orforglipron, the compound includes an unusual phosphine oxide motif and has shown positive results on plasma glucose levels and bodyweight in a Ph. IIa study.
SCO-267
SCO-267 is a full agonist of the GPCR GPR40, whose activation stimulates secretions of insulin and incretin. Since no crystal structures were available, the authors used conformational modeling to rationally improve the ligand from a weak lipophilic initial starting point (0.4 uM, clogP 9.4) to a more lipophilically efficient candidate (12 nM [...]
GS-9688 (selgantolimod)
GS-9688 (selgantolimod) is a potent and selective TLR8 agonist sparing related receptor TLR7, and is intended to induce better immune responses in chronic hepatitis B. Since systemic activation of TLR8 was undesirable, selgantolimod was designed to have high first-pass hepatic clearance to induce effective antiviral immunity in the liver but [...]
PF-05221304
PF-05221304 is a liver targeted inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). ACC is a key regulator of lipid metabolism, and there has been significant interest in ACC inhibitors for the treatment of multiple indications including NASH and diabetes. Pfizer previously took a systemic ACC inhibitor into the clinic (PF-05175157), which was found [...]
