- Abstract
Novel antidiabetic arylsulfonamidothiazoles are presented that exert action through selective inhibition of the 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) enzyme, thereby attenuating hepatic gluconeogenesis. The diethylamide derivative 2a was shown to potently inhibit human 11beta-HSD1 (IC(50) = 52 nM), whereas the N-methylpiperazinamide analogue 2b only inhibited murine 11beta-HSD1 (IC(50) = 96 nM). Both compounds showed >200-fold selectivity over human and murine 11beta-HSD2. 2b was subsequently shown to reduce glucose levels in diabetic KKA(y) mice, substantiating the 11beta-HSD1 enzyme as a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
