    Abstract Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acids receptor and plays a crucial role in regulating bile acids, lipids, and glucose metabolism. Previous research suggests that inhibiting FXR activation can be beneficial in reducing cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, offering potential treatment options for metabolic syndrome with lipid disorders. Herein, we report p-acetylaminobenzene sulfonate derivatives as a novel scaffold of FXR antagonists by multistage screening. Among these derivatives, compound F44-A13 exhibited a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 1.1 μM. Furthermore, compound F44-A13 demonstrated effective inhibition of FXR activation in cellular assays and exhibited high selectivity over eleven other nuclear receptors. Besides, compound F44-A13 significantly suppressed the regulation of FXR target genes Shp, Besp, and Cyp7a1, while reducing cholesterol levels in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Pharmacological studies conducted on C57BL/6 mice further confirmed that compound F44-A13 had beneficial effects in reducing cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-C levels. These findings highlight that F44-A13 is a highly selective FXR antagonist that might serve as a useful molecule for further FXR studies as well as the development of FXR antagonists for the potential treatment of metabolic diseases with lipid disorders.

    Abstract Chronic inflammation due to islet-residing macrophages plays key roles in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. By systematically profiling intra-islet lipid-transmembrane receptor signalling in islet-resident macrophages, we identified endogenous 9(S)-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid-G-protein-coupled receptor 132 (GPR132)-Gi signalling as a significant contributor to islet macrophage reprogramming and found that GPR132 deficiency in macrophages reversed metabolic disorders in mice fed a high-fat diet. The cryo-electron microscopy structures of GPR132 bound with two endogenous agonists, N-palmitoylglycine and 9(S)-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid, enabled us to rationally design both GPR132 agonists and antagonists with high potency and selectivity through stepwise translational approaches. We ultimately identified a selective GPR132 antagonist, NOX-6-18, that modulates macrophage reprogramming within pancreatic islets, decreases weight gain and enhances glucose metabolism in mice fed a high-fat diet. Our study not only illustrates that intra-islet lipid signalling contributes to islet macrophage reprogramming but also provides a broadly applicable strategy for the identification of important G-protein-coupled receptor targets in pathophysiological processes, followed by the rational design of therapeutic leads for refractory diseases such as diabetes.

    Abstract In contrast to well-known transformations of vinyl azides via azirine intermediates or initiating at the alkene moiety, herein we report a Rh(I)-catalyzed coupling reaction of vinyl azides with isonitriles at the azide moiety to form active vinyl carbodiimide intermediates and following tandem cyclization with unsaturated compounds, such as alkynes and benzynes, to give different classes of azaheterocycles. Mechanistically, controlled experiments and DFT calculations disclose that Rh-nitrene is the vital species in the first coupling step, and the Rh(I) catalyst can also play an important role in the cyclization step of alkynes.
