According to the invention the compounds of general formula I are obtained by methods known per se, for example by the following methods:
a) reacting a compound of general formula




wherein

R1 to R3 are as hereinbefore defined and

Z1 denotes a leaving group such as a halogen atom, a substituted hydroxy, mercapto, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or sulphonyloxy group such as a chlorine or bromine atom, a methanesulphonyl or methanesulphonyloxy group, with 3-aminopiperidine, the enantiomers thereof or the salts thereof.

The reaction is expediently carried out in a solvent such as isopropanol, butanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide, ethyleneglycol monomethylether, ethyleneglycol diethylether or sulpholane, optionally in the presence of an inorganic or tertiary organic base, e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide, a tertiary organic base, e.g. triethylamine, or in the presence of N-ethyl-diisopropylamine (Hünig base), while these organic bases may simultaneously also serve as solvent, and optionally in the presence of a reaction accelerator such as an alkali metal halide or a palladium-based catalyst at temperatures between −20 and 180° C., but preferably at temperatures between −10 and 120° C. The reaction may, however, also be carried out without a solvent or in an excess of the 3-aminopiperidine.
b) deprotecting a compound of general formula




wherein R1, R2 and R3 are as hereinbefore defined.

The tert.-butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treatment with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid or by treatment with bromotrimethylsilane or iodotrimethylsilane, optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, dioxane, methanol, isopropanol or diethyl ether at temperatures between 0 and 80° C.
c) In order to prepare a compound of general formula I wherein R1 according to the definition provided hereinbefore contains a carboxy group:
deprotecting a compound of general formula




wherein R2 and R3 are as hereinbefore defined and R1′ contains a carboxy group protected by a C1-4-alkyl group.

The protecting group is cleaved by hydrolysis, for example, using an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid or an alkali metal hydroxide such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane in the presence of water.
In the reactions described hereinbefore, any reactive groups present such as carboxy, amino, alkylamino or imino groups may be protected during the reaction by conventional protecting groups which are cleaved again after the reaction.
For example, a protecting group for a carboxy group may be a trimethylsilyl, methyl, ethyl, tert.butyl, benzyl or tetrahydropyranyl group and
protecting groups for an amino, alkylamino or imino group may be a formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, tert.butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl, methoxybenzyl or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group and additionally, for the amino group, a phthalyl group.
Any protecting group used is optionally subsequently cleaved for example by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water, acetic acid/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or aprotically, e.g. in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between 0 and 120° C., preferably at temperatures between 10 and 100° C.
However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved, for example, hydrogenolytically, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures between 0 and 100° C., but preferably at temperatures between 20 and 60° C., and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar. A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, however, is preferably cleaved in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisol.
A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid or by treating with iodotrimethylsilane, optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxan, methanol or diethylether.
A trifluoroacetyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, optionally in the presence of a solvent such as acetic acid at temperatures between 50 and 120° C., or by treating with sodium hydroxide solution, optionally in the presence of a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at temperatures between 0 and 50° C.
A phthalyl group is preferably cleaved in the presence of hydrazine or a primary amine such as methylamine, ethylamine or n-butylamine in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene/water or dioxan at temperatures between 20 and 50° C.
Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers, as mentioned hereinbefore. Thus, for example, cis/trans mixtures may be resolved into their cis and trans isomers, and compounds with at least one optically active carbon atom may be separated into their enantiomers.
Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures may be resolved by chromatography into the cis and trans isomers thereof, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.
The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g. esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)- or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid.
Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I thus obtained contain a carboxy group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into the salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, arginine, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine.
The compounds of general formulae II to IV used as starting materials are either known from the literature or may be obtained by methods known from the literature (cf. Examples I to LXXI).
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibiting effect on the enzyme DPP-IV.
The biological properties of the new compounds were investigated as follows:
The ability of the substances and their corresponding salts to inhibit the DPP-IV activity can be demonstrated in a test set-up in which an extract of human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 is used as the DPP-IV source. The differentiation of the cells in order to induce the DPP-IV expression was carried out as described by Reiher et al. in an article entitled “Increased expression of intestinal cell line Caco-2”, which appeared in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. Vol. 90, pages 5757-5761 (1993). The cell extract was obtained from cells solubilised in a buffer (10 mM Tris HCl, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.04 t.i.u. aprotinin, 0.5% Nonidet-P40, pH 8.0) by centrifuging at 35,000 g of for 30 minutes at 4° C. (to remove cell debris).
The DPP-IV Assay was Carried Out as Follows:
50 μl substrate solution (AFC; AFC is amido-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin), final concentration 100 μM, were placed in black microtitre plates. 20 μl of assay buffer (final concentrations 50 mM Tris HCl pH 7.8, 50 mM NaCl, 1% DMSO) was pipetted in. The reaction was started by adding 30 μl of solubilised Caco-2 protein (final concentration 0.14 μg of protein per well). The test substances to be investigated were typically added prediluted in 20 μl, and the volume of assay buffer was then reduced accordingly. The reaction was carried out at ambient temperature, incubating for 60 minutes. Then the fluorescence was measured in a Victor 1420 Multilabel Counter, the excitation wavelength being 405 nm and the emission wavelength being 535 nm. Blank readings (corresponding to 0% activity) were obtained in mixtures without any Caco-2 protein (volume replaced by assay buffer), control values (corresponding to 100% activity) were obtained in mixtures with no substance added. The potency of the test substances in question, expressed as IC50 values, was calculated from dosage/activity curves consisting of 11 measuring points in each case. The following results were obtained:

The compounds prepared according to the invention are well tolerated, as for example when 10 mg/kg of the compound of Example 2(80) were administered to rats by oral route no changes in the animals' behaviour could be detected.
In view of their ability to inhibit DPP-IV activity, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention and the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are suitable for treating all those conditions or illnesses which can be influenced by the inhibition of the DPP-IV activity. It is therefore to be expected that the compounds according to the invention will be suitable for the prevention or treatment of diseases or conditions such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications (such as e.g. retinopathy, nephropathy or neuropathies), metabolic acidosis or ketosis, reactive hypoglycaemia, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidaemias of various origins, arthritis, atherosclerosis and related diseases, obesity, allograft transplantation and calcitonin-induced osteoporosis. In addition these substances are capable of preventing B-cell degeneration such as e.g. apoptosis or necrosis of pancreatic B-cells. The substances are also suitable for improving or restoring the function of pancreatic cells and also increasing the number and size of pancreatic B-cells. Additionally, and on the basis of the role of the Glucagon-Like Peptides, such as e.g. GLP-1 and GLP-2 and their link with DPP-IV inhibition, it is likely that the compounds according to the invention are suitable for achieving, inter alia, a sedative or anxiety-relieving effect and also for favourably affecting catabolic states after operations or hormonal stress responses or reducing mortality or morbidity after myocardial infarct. They are also suitable for treating all conditions which are connected with the above mentioned effects and which are mediated by GLP-1 or GLP-2. The compounds according to the invention may also be used as diuretics or antihypertensives and are suitable for preventing and treating acute renal failure. Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention may be used to treat inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. They are also suitable for the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases such as e.g. irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and also pancreatitis. It is also likely that they can be used for all kinds of damage to or impairment of the gastrointestinal tract such as colitis and enteritis, for example. It is also expected that DPP-IV inhibitors and hence also the compounds according to the invention may be used to treat infertility or to improve fertility in humans or mammals, particularly when the infertility is connected with insulin resistance or polycystic ovary syndrome. On the other hand these substances are suitable for affecting sperm motility and can thus be used as male contraceptives. The substances are also suitable for treating deficiencies of growth hormone which are associated with reduced stature, and may also be used to advantage in any indications in which growth hormone may be used. The compounds according to the invention are also suitable, on the basis of their inhibitory effect on DPP-IV, for treating various autoimmune diseases such as e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, thyroiditis and Basedow's disease, etc. They may also be used to treat viral diseases and also, for example, in HIV infections, for stimulating blood production, in benign prostatic hyperplasia, gingivitis, as well as for the treatment of neuronal defects and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, for example. The compounds described may also be used for the treatment of tumours, particularly for modifying tumour invasion and also metastasisation; examples here are their use in treating T-cell lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, cell-based pancreatic carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas or breast cancers. Other indications are stroke, ischaemia of various origins, Parkin-son's disease and migraine. In addition, further indications include follicular and epidermal hyperkeratoses, increased keratinocyte proliferation, psoriasis, encephalomyelitis, glomerulonephritis, lipodystrophies, as well as psycho-somatic, depressive and neuropsychiatric diseases of all kinds.
The compounds according to the invention may also be used in conjunction with other active substances. Therapeutic agents which are suitable for such combinations include, for example, antidiabetics, such as metformin, sulphonylureas (e.g. glibenclamide, tolbutamide, glimepiride), nateglinide, repaglinide, thiazolidinedione (e.g. rosiglitazone, pioglitazone), PPAR-gamma agonists (e.g. GI 262570) and antagonists, PPAR-gamma/alpha modulators (e.g. KRP 297), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g. acarbose, voglibose), other DPPIV inhibitors, alpha2 antagonists, insulin and insulin analogues, GLP-1 and GLP-1 analogues (e.g. exendin-4) or amylin. Also, SGLT2 inhibitors such as T-1095, inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1, substances which influence deregulated glucose production in the liver, such as e.g. inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphatase, or fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glycogen phosphorylase, glucagon receptor antagonists and inhibitors of phosphoenol-pyruvate carboxykinase, glycogen synthase kinase or pyruvate dehydrokinase, lipid lowering agents, such as HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors (e.g. simvastatin, atorvastatin), fibrates (e.g. bezafibrate, fenofibrate), nicotinic acid and its derivatives, PPAR-alpha agonists, PPAR-delta agonists, ACAT inhibitors (e.g. avasimibe) or cholesterol resorption inhibitors such as for example ezetimibe, bile acid-binding substances such as for example cholestyramine, inhibitors of ileac bile acid transport, HDL-raising compounds such as for example inhibitors of CETP or regulators of ABC1 or active substances for the treatment of obesity, such as e.g. sibutramine or tetrahydrolipostatin, dexfenfluramine, axokine, antagonists of the cannabinoid) receptor, MCH-1 receptor antagonists, MC4 receptor agonists, NPY5 or NPY2 antagonists or β3-agonists such as SB-418790 or AD-9677 as well as agonists of the 5HT2c receptor.
It is also possible to combine the compounds with drugs for treating high blood pressure such as e.g. All antagonists or ACE inhibitors, diuretics, β-blockers, Ca-antagonists, etc., or combinations thereof.
The dosage required to achieve such an effect is expediently, by intravenous route, 1 to 100 mg, preferably 1 to 30 mg, and by oral route 1 to 1000 mg, preferably 1 to 100 mg, in each case 1 to 4 times a day. For this purpose, the compounds of formula I prepared according to the invention, optionally combined with other active substances, may be incorporated together with one or more inert conventional carriers and/or diluents, e.g. with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof into conventional galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions or suppositories.
