    AbstractThe G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) mediates enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells. The GPR40 agonist has been attracting attention as a novel insulin secretagogue with glucose dependency for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The optimization study of compound 1 led to a potent and bioavailable GPR40 agonist 24, which showed insulin secretion and glucose lowering effects in rat OGTT. Compound 24 is a potential lead compound for a novel insulin secretagogue with a low risk of hypoglycemia. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
