TL;DR: High-throughput screening of a small-molecule compound library resulted in the identification of a novel series of N-acyl 2-aminobenzimidazoles that are potent inhibitors of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4.

TL;DR: Optimize of a series of β-substituted phenylpropanoic acids led to the identification of (S)-3-(4-((4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)phenyl)hex-4-ynoic acid (AMG 837) as a potent GPR40 agonist with a superior pharmacokinetic profile and robust glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion in rodents.

TL;DR: Novel non-nucleoside inhibitors of the HCV RNA polymerase (NS5b) with sub-micromolar biochemical potency have been identified which are selective for the inhibition of HCV NS5b over other polymerases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present compounds useful for modulating insulin levels in a subject and that have the general formula Q-L1-P-L2-M-X-L3-A wherein the definitions of the variables Q, L1, P, L2, M, X, L3 and A are provided.

TL;DR: The optimization from the G PR40 partial agonist 1 to the structurally and pharmacologically distinct GPR40 full agonist AM-1638 (21) is presented and the improved in vivo efficacy that GPR 40 full agonists 21 exhibits in BDF/DIO mice as compared to partial agonists 1.
