Abstract: Provided herein are non-peptide GLP-1 receptor modulator compounds, for example, of Formula I, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and processes of preparation thereof. Also provided are methods of their use for the treatment of a metabolic disorder.

Abstract: A bifunctional linker and method of use is provided that has a spacer molecule with a functional group on one end configured to couple to the surface of a substrate and a function group on the other end that is configured couple to a biomolecule and methods of use. The preferred bifunctional linker has a poly(ethylene glycol) spacer ranging from 3 to 20 ethylene glycol units that has a silane functional group to react with a substrate and an azide functional group that can couple to a biomolecule that includes an alkyne group. The preferred linker can produce an azide-derivatized glass surface in one step and the azide functional group of the spacer can in sequence conjugate with a biomolecule using click chemistry, which can be conducted at low temperature and in aqueous solution.
