Synthesis and biological activity of novel pyrimidinone containing thiazolidinedione derivatives.
A series of pyrimidinone derivatives of thiazolidinediones were synthesized. Their biological activity were evaluated in insulin resistant, hyperglycemic and obese db/db mice. In vitro PPARgamma transactivation assay was performed in HEK 293T cells. PMT13 showed the best biological activity in this series. PMT13 (5-[4-[2-[2-ethyl-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidinyl]ethoxy]phenylmethyl]thiazolidine-2,4-dione) showed better plasma glucose, triglyceride and insulin-lowering activity in db/db mice than rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. PMT13 showed better PPARgamma transactivation than the standard compounds. Pharmacokinetic study in Wistar rats showed good systemic exposure of PMT13. Twenty-eight day oral toxicity study in Wistar rats did not show any treatment-related adverse effects.
