Title:GLP-1 receptor modulators
Abstract: The invention relates to compounds that modulate the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor, methods of their synthesis, and methods of their therapeutic and/or prophylactic use. Such compounds are act as modulators or potentiators of GLP-1 receptor on their own, or with receptor ligands including GLP-1 peptides GLP-1(7-36) and GLP-1(9-36), or with peptide-based therapies, such as exenatide and liraglutide, and have the following general structure (where \"\" represents either or both the R and S form of the compound): ##STR00001## where A, B, C, Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Z, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, W.sub.1, n, p and q are as defined herein.
