Abstract:
We previously reported a novel series of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives and the identification of compound 4b as a highly potent GPR119 agonist. However, the advancement of preclinical evaluations of compound 4b is expected to be difficult because of the compound's significantly poor aqueous solubility (0.71μM at pH6.8). In this article, we describe the further optimization of compound 4b focusing on the improvement of its aqueous solubility. Optimization of the central spacer, left-hand aryl group and right-hand piperidine N-capping group led to the identification of a potent GPR119 agonist, 3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine derivative 32o, with improved solubility (15.9μM at pH6.8).

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
