Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress‐induced pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction and death play important roles in the development of diabetes. The 1,2,3‐triazole derivative1is one of only a few structures that have thus far been identified that protect β cells against ER stress. However, this compound has narrow activity range and limited aqueous solubility. To overcome these, we designed and synthesized a new scaffold in which the triazole pharmacophore was substituted with a glycine‐like amino acid. Structure–activity relationship studies on this scaffold identified aN‐(2‐(Benzylamino)‐2‐oxoethyl)benzamide analogWO5mthat possesses β‐cell protective activity against ER stress with much improved potency (maximal activity at 100% with EC50at 0.1 ± 0.01 µm) and water solubility. Identification of this novel β‐cell protective scaffold thus provides a new promising modality for the treatment of diabetes.
