    Abstract

    A new series of thiazolidine derivatives with an adamantyl group was synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1). Our initial compound 5a showed a weak inhibitory activity. Significant improvements in potency were achieved by substituent modification. The potent compound 8g (E) showed good in vitro inhibitory activity toward human 11β-HSD1, selectivity toward 11β-HSD2, metabolic stability, pharmacokinetic, and safety profile. Furthermore, this compound significantly inhibited 11β-HSD1 activity in rat and monkey models, and showed improved glycemic control in KKAy mice.
