Identification of alkylidene hydrazides as glucagon receptor antagonists.
2001
High throughput screening of our small molecule combinatorial library identified a class of benzoylnaphthalenehydrazones with modest affinity for the human glucagon receptor. Optimization of this initial hit through a series of targeted libraries and traditional medicinal chemistry led to ligands with nanomolar affinities. Pharmacological evaluation demonstrated that these ligands were competitive glucagon receptor antagonists. Intravenous administration of a representative benzoylnaphthalenehydrazone into rats attenuated glucagon-stimulated glucose levels.
