## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to bicycloamide derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that inhibit dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP-IV) and are useful in the prevention and/or treatment of type II diabetes and other diseases that involve DPP-IV.
BACKGROUND ART
Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (EC3.4.14.5, referred to as “DPP-IV” or “CD26,” hereinafter) is a serine protease that specifically hydrolyzes polypeptides having proline or alanine at position 2 on the C-terminal side of these amino acid residues, cleaving dipeptides Xaa-Pro or Xaa-Ala from the N-terminus of the polypeptides (Xaa may be any amino acid).
One biological function of DPP-IV is the inactivation of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) by cleaving the N-terminal His-Ala dipeptide of GLP-1 (Non-Patent Document 1). The GLP-1 inactivated by DPP-IV is thought to act as an antagonist on GLP-1 receptors, further decreasing the physiological activity of GLP-1 (Non-Patent Document 2). GLP-1, a peptide hormone secreted from endocrine L-cells found primarily in intestinal epithelium, is known to act on β-cells of the pancreatic Langerhans' islets in a glucose-dependent manner to promote the insulin secretion, thus decreasing the blood glucose level (Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4). Having an ability to promote insulin biosynthesis and β-cell growth, GLP-1 is an essential factor for the maintenance of β-cells (Non-Patent Documents 5 and 6). It has been reported that GLP-1 also acts to promote glucose utilization by peripheral tissue and, when intraventricularly administered, decreases food intake and motility of GI tract (Non-Patent Documents 7 through 10).
A DDP-IV inhibitor is believed to increase the GLP-1 activity by suppressing the decomposition of innate GLP-1. The increased GLP-1 activity stimulates insulin secretion and improves glucose metabolism. For this reason, DPP-IV inhibitors are expected to be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of diabetes, in particular type II diabetes (Non-Patent Documents 11 and 12). The compounds are expected to be also effective in the prevention and/or treatment of other diseases that are caused or worsened by decreased glucose metabolism (for example, diabetic complications, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, abnormal lipid metabolism and obesity).
The roles of DPP-IV in a living body other than the inactivation of GLP-1 and how the enzyme is involved in the onset of various diseases have been described in many reports as described below.
(a) DPP-IV inhibitors and their antibodies prevent the invasion of HIV into cells. Expression of CD26 is reduced in T-cells derived from patients infected with HIV-1 (Non-Patent Document 13). HIV-1 Tat protein binds to DPP-IV (Non-Patent Document 14).
(b) DPP-IV is involved in immune responses. DPP-IV inhibitors and their antibodies suppress the growth of T-cells stimulated by antigens (Non-Patent Document 15). T-cells stimulated by antigens express an increased level of DDP-IV (Non-Patent Document 16). DDP-IV is involved in the cytokine production and other functions of T-cells (Non-Patent Document 17). DDP-IV binds to adenosine deaminase (ADA) on the T-cell surface (Non-Patent Document 18).
(c) Expression of DPP-IV is increased in the skin fibroblasts of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and lichen planus (Non-Patent Document 19).
(d) High DPP-IV activity is observed in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and in the homogenate of the prostatic tissue (Non-Patent Document 20). DPP-IV in the lung endothelium acts as an adhesive molecule for lung-metastatic breast cancer and prostatic cancer in rats (Non-Patent Document 21).
(e) The DPP-IV defective variant of F344 rats has lower blood pressure than the wild-type F344 rats. DPP-IV interacts with a protein that plays a crucial role in sodium reabsorption by the kidney (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
(f) The inhibition of DPP-IV activity offers an effective approach to the prevention and/or treatment of myelosuppressive diseases, while DPP-IV-activating agents are expected to serve as drugs to increase the white blood cell count and/or treat infectious diseases (Patent Document 3).
These observations indicate that DPP-IV inhibitors can be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of diabetes (in particular, type II diabetes) and/or diseases other than diabetic complications that involve DPP-IV. For example, DPP-IV inhibitors are expected to be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of AIDS following infection with HIV, rejection following organ/tissue transplantation, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, allergies, osteoporosis, psoriasis and lichen planus, benign prostatic hypertrophy, lung metastasis of breast and prostatic cancers, hypertension and infectious diseases. DPP-IV inhibitors are also expected to be used to facilitate diuresis, decrease myelosuppression and increase white blood cell count.
Among existing DPP-IV inhibitors are pyrrolidine derivatives described in Patent Documents 4 through 11, heterocyclic derivatives described in Patent Documents 12 and 13, and β-amino acid derivatives described in Patent Documents 14 and 15.
Patent Document 16, a US patent, discloses a single bicycle[2.2.2]octane derivative that inhibits DPP-IV activity. This compound, however, is completely different from the compounds of the present invention in its structure and mechanism for DPP-IV inhibition. Patent Document 17 mentions a bicycle derivative structurally similar to the compounds of the present invention. However, there is no description in this literature concerning any of the compounds of the present invention, nor have any examples been presented of the compounds.
None of the previously described DDP-IV inhibitors are practical enough in terms of DDP-IV inhibitory activity, selectivity for DPP-IV, stability, toxicity and biological kinetics. Thus, a constant need exists for effective DDP-IV inhibitors.

Representative processes for producing the compounds of the present invention and salts thereof will now be described.




Step 1 (Process A)

In this step, a haloacetic acid derivative of the general formula (6) (where Y1 is Cl or Br, and X is as defined above.) is reacted with a bicycloamine derivative of the general formula (5) (where R1, R2 and n are as defined above.) to obtain a bicycloamide derivative of claim 1 (where R1, n and X are as defined above.). The reaction is carried out in the presence or absence of a base. Examples of the base for use in this reaction may include an inorganic base, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate, or an organic base, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, N,N,N,N-tetramethyl ethylenediamine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-5-nonene, phosphazene base and pentaisopropylguanidine. Examples of the catalyst for use in this reaction may include a phase transfer catalyst or an inorganic salt, such as tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium iodide, benzyl triethyl ammonium bromide, lithium bromide, lithium iodide, sodium iodide, potassium bromide, potassium iodide, cesium bromide and cesium iodide. The solvent for use in the reaction may be an inert solvent that does not affect the reaction, including, for example, acetone, ethanol, toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylether, t-butyl methyl ether, dimethoxy ethane, ethyl acetate, dichloro methane, N,N-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. This reaction proceeds smoothly at 0 to 150° C.




Step 1 (Process B)

In this step, a haloacetic acid derivative of the general formula (6) (where X and Y1 are as defined above.) is reacted with a bicycloamine derivative of the general formula (7) (where P2 is a protective group for a carboxyl group, and n is as defined above.) to obtain a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (8) as set forth in claim 1 (where P2, n, and X are as defined above.). The reaction is carried out in the presence or absence of a base. Examples of the base for use in this reaction may include an inorganic base, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate, or an organic base, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, N,N,N,N-tetramethyl ethylenediamine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-5-nonene, phosphazene base and pentaisopropylguanidine. Examples of the catalyst for use in the reaction may include a phase transfer catalyst or an inorganic salt, such as tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium iodide, benzyl triethyl ammonium bromide, lithium bromide, lithium iodide, sodium iodide, potassium bromide, potassium iodide, cesium bromide and cesium iodide. The solvent for use in the reaction may be an inert solvent that does not affect the reaction, including, for example, as acetone, ethanol, toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylether, t-butyl methyl ether, dimethoxy ethane, ethyl acetate, dichloro methane, N,N-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. This reaction proceeds smoothly at 0 to 150° C.
Step 2 (Process B)
In this step, the secondary amino group of the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (8) (where P2, n and X are as defined above.) is protected to give a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (9) as set forth in claim 1 (where P1 is a protective group for amino group, and P2, n and x are as defined above.). The protective group P1 for the secondary amine group may be t-butoxycarbonyl group, benzyloxycarbonyl group or trifluoroacetyl group. The protective groups can be introduced by known techniques. For example, when P1 is t-butoxycarbonyl group, it can be readily introduced by reacting di-t-butyldicarbonate with the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (8) (where P2, n and X are as defined above.) in the presence or absence of triethylamine or N,N-dimethylaminopyridine. When P1 is benzyloxycarbonyl group, it can be readily introduced by reacting benzyloxycarbonyl chloride with the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (8) (where P2, n and X are as defined above.) in the presence of triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine or potassium carbonate. When P1 is trifluoroacetyl group, it can be readily introduced by reacting trifluoroacetic acid anhydride with the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (8) (where P2, n and X are as defined above.) in the presence of triethylamine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine.
Step 3 (Process B)
In this step, the P2 group that protects the carboxyl group of the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (9) (where P2, P1, n and X are as defined above.) is removed to give a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (10) as set forth in claim 1 (where P1, n and X are as defined above.) P2 can be removed by known techniques. When P2 is t-butyl group, it can be readily removed by using trifluoroacetic acid or a solution of hydrogen chloride/dioxane. When P2 is benzyl group, it can be readily removed by using palladium carbon in combination with hydrogen or ammonium formate. When P2 is tetrahydropyranyl group, it can be readily removed by using acetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid or hydrochloric acid.
Step 4 (Process B)
In this step, the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (10) (where P1, n and X are as defined above.) and an amine derivative of the formula R1R2NH (where R1 and R2 are as defined above) are reacted in the presence of a condensation agent for amidation to give a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (11) as set forth in claim 4 (where R1, R2, P1, n and X are as defined above.). Examples of the condensation agents used in this step include dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), ethyl chloroformate, isobutyl chloroformate and pivaloyl chloride. These agents may be added in the form of solid, liquid or a solution in a proper solvent. Examples of the base for use in the condensation reaction may include an alkali carbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate, and a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene. The solvent for use in the condensation reaction may be an inert solvent that does not affect the reaction, including, for example, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, toluene and dichloromethane. This condensation reaction proceeds smoothly at −20 to 150° C.
Step 5 (Process B)
In this step, the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (10) (where P1, n and X are as defined above.) is converted to a bicyclic derivative of the general formula (12) [where W is a reaction residue (such as halogen atoms, and halides, imidazolides and active esters of carboxylic acids, such as 1-imidazolyl group, 4-nitrophenoxy group, pentafluorophenoxy group, imidoyloxy succinate group and 1-benzotriazolyloxy group (or 1-benzotriazolyl 3-oxide group), P1, n and X are as described above.]. This step can be readily carried out by known techniques. When W is imidoyloxy succinate group, the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (10) (where P1, n and X are as defined above.) is reacted with N-hydroxysuccinic acid in the presence of a condensation agent to give the desired product. When W is benzotriazolyloxy group (or 1-benzotriazolyl 3-oxide group), the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (10) (where P1, n and X are as defined above.) is reacted with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole in the presence of a condensation agent to give the desired product. Examples of the condensation agent for use in this step include dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), ethyl chloroformate, isobutyl chloroformate and pivaloyl chloride. These agents may be added in the form of solid, liquid or a solution in a proper solvent. When it is desired to use a base in the condensation reaction, examples of the base include an alkali carbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate, and a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene. The solvent for use in the condensation reaction may be an inert solvent that does not affect the condensation reaction, including, for example, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, toluene and dichloromethane. This condensation reaction proceeds smoothly at −20 to 150° C. The resulting bicyclic derivative of the general formula (12) (where W, P1, n and X are as described above.) may be used in the subsequent step after purification or as the unpurified crude product.
Step 6 (Process B)
In this step, the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (12) (where W, P1, n and X are as described above.) is reacted with an amine derivative of the formula R1R2NH (where R1 and R2 are as defined above.) to give a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (11) as set forth in claim 4 (where R1, R2, P1, n and X are as defined above.). When a base is used in the reaction, the base may be an inorganic salt, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate, or an organic base, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-5-nonene, phosphazine base and pentaisopropylguanidine. The solvent for use in the reaction may be an inert solvent that does not affect the reaction, such as toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylether, t-butylmethylether, dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. This reaction proceeds smoothly at −30 to 150° C.
Step 7 (Process B)
In this step, the P1 group that protects the secondary amino group in the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (11) (where R1, R2, P1, n and X are as defined above.) is removed to give a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (1) as set forth in claim 1 (where R1, R2, n and X are as defined above). P1 can be removed by known techniques. For example, when P1 is t-butoxycarbonyl group, it can be readily removed by using trifluoroacetic acid or a solution of hydrogen chloride/dioxane. When P1 is benzyloxycarbonyl group, it can be readily removed by using palladium carbon in combination with hydrogen or ammonium formate. When P1 is trifluoroacetyl group, it can be readily removed by using an ammonia/methanol solution.




Step 1 (Process C)

In this step, the bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (13) (where n and X are as defined above.) and an amine derivative of the formula R1R2NH (where R1 and R2 are as defined above) are reacted in the presence of a condensation agent for amidation to give a bicycloamide derivative of the general formula (1) as set forth in claim 1 (where R1, R2, P1, n and X are as defined above.). Examples of the condensation agent used in this step include dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), ethyl chloroformate, isobutyl chloroformate and pivaloyl chloride. These agents may be added in the form of solid, liquid or a solution in a proper solvent. When it is desired to use a base in the condensation reaction, the base may be an alkali carbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate, or a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene. The solvent for use in the condensation reaction may be an inert solvent that does not affect the reaction, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, toluene and dichloromethane. This condensation reaction proceeds smoothly at −20 to 150° C. Alternatively, the condensation reaction may be carried out via an active ester or acid chloride having 1-imidazolyl group, 4-nitrophenoxy group, pentafluorophenoxy group, imidoyloxy succinate group or 1-benzotriazolyloxy group (or 1-benzotriazolyl 3-oxide group). In such a case, the active ester or acid chloride may be used in the subsequent step after purification or as the unpurified crude product.

TEST EXAMPLE 1
Test for the Ability of the Compounds of the Invention to Inhibit of Dipeptidylpeptidase IV Activity
The concentration of free 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (AMC) generated by hydrolysis of H-Gly-Pro-AMC.HBr substrate by plasma dipeptidylpeptidase IV was determined by fluorometry.
Method
A 20 μL of buffer (25 mmol/L hepes, 140 mmol/L sodium chloride, 1% bovine serum albumin, 80 mmol/L magnesium chloride hexahydrate, pH 7.4) containing each compound was added to 20 μL of plasma diluted 8-fold with saline in a well of a 96-well flat bottom plate. The plate was left at room temperature for 5 minutes and 10 μL of 0.1 mmol/L H-Gly-Pro-AMC.HBr solution was added to each well to initiate the reaction. The plate was left in a dark environment at room temperature for 20 minutes, at which point 20 μL 25% acetic acid was added to terminate the reaction. Using a fluorescent plate reader, the free AMC concentration was determined by exciting the samples at 355 nm and measuring the fluorescence intensity at 460 nm. Using Prism 3.02 (GraphPad Software), the results were analyzed to determine the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50). The results are shown in Table 1.
