FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to novel compounds of the general formula A, their stereoisomers, their racemates, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, methods of making the above compounds, and their use as Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP IV) Inhibitors, which are useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases in which DPP IV enzyme is known to be involved in the pathogenesis. These diseases include mainly type II diabetes and related diseases, such as, syndrome X which includes insulin resistance, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis as well as for the prevention or treatment for other pathogenic conditions in which DPP IV is involved.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Diabetes mellitus is a major, growing health problem worldwide (Yach, D., et al. Nat. Med. 12, 62-66, 2006). Type 2 diabetes mellitus (hereafter referred as type 2 diabetes, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) is a heterogeneous disorder, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development. The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes involves multiple mechanisms leading to hyperglycemia, most notably increased hepatic glucose production, impaired insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells and reduced glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and adipose tissue (peripheral insulin resistance). Type 2 diabetic patients are at substantially increased risks of macrovascular disease including coronary heart disease and stroke and microvascular disease including retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy.
Type 2 diabetes is a therapeutic area with huge market potential. The number of diabetic patients is projected to increase from 170-175 million in 2000 to over 350 million by 2030 (Wild, S., et al. Diab. Care 27, 1047-1053, 2004; Yach, D., et al. Nat. Med. 12, 62-66, 2006). The major part of this numerical increase is expected to occur in developing countries and India will have the distinction of having the largest number of diabetic patients in the world by 2030.
The treatment approaches for type 2 diabetes include diet, exercise, and a variety of pharmacological agents. Clinically established therapies for type 2 diabetes include insulin and its analogs and various oral hypoglycemic agents: sulfonylureas, metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors (acarbose, miglitol), non-sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues (repaglinide, nateglinide) and thiazolidinedione (TZD) derivatives (rosiglitazone, pioglitazone) acting via PPARγ agonism (Matthaei, S., et al. Endocrine Rev. 21, 585-618, 2000; Skyler, J. S. J. Med. Chem. 47, 4113-4117, 2004). These agents act by different mechanisms to normalize blood glucose levels, but are limited in their abilities, either alone or in combination, to prevent the onset of diabetic complications. Further, each of the above oral agents suffers either from generally inadequate efficacy or number of adverse effects. For example, sulfonylureas, which have been the mainstay of oral treatment for over 5 decades, are known to be associated with a high rate of secondary failure and hypoglycemia. The TZD class of antidiabetic agents (glitazones) improves glucose utilization without stimulating insulin release, but their use is associated with undesirable effects (e.g. risk of myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, liver toxicity, weight gain).
Considering together the facts that about 90% of all diabetic cases account for NIDDM and the inadequacy of the currently available treatment, the clinical need and market potential for new oral antidiabetic drugs, which maintain tight glycemic control and prevent diabetic diabetic complications are very high.
The recent introduction of incretin-based therapies, which include incretin mimetics (e.g. exenatide) and incretin enhancers (e.g. sitagliptin, vildagliptin) is gaining clinical importance, as novel strategies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The incretin concept was first developed based on observations that insulin release was enhanced after oral ingestion of glucose, as compared with an equivalent glucose challenge given intravenously. This led to a hypothesis that in response to nutrient ingestion the gastrointestinal tract released one or more hormones (“incretins”) that augmented insulin secretion. This hypothesis was validated with the identification of two key hormones, physiological incretin mimetics, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) (Frias, J. and S. V. Edelman. Curr. Opin. Endocrinol. Diab. Obes. 14, 269-276, 2007; Drucker, D. J., J. Clin. Invest. 117, 24-32, 2007). GLP-1 is released from the enteroendocrine L-cells of the small intestine and GIP is released from duodenal K-cells. These hormones account for about 50% of the total insulin response, following a meal. The discovery of these incretin hormones has stimulated tremendous interest in their therapeutic potential for type 2 diabetes patients.
The incretins, chiefly GLP-1, lower blood glucose levels through multiple mechanisms. GLP-1 potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion from islet β-cells by activating specific G-protein-coupled receptors (Drucker, D. J., Cell Metab. 3, 153-165, 2006). In addition to enhancing insulin secretion, GLP-1 also inhibits glucagon secretion and gastric emptying and induces a feeling of satiety leading to weight loss in diabetic patients. More importantly, GLP-1 has the potential to reverse β-cell dysfunction by inhibiting β-cell apoptosis, stimulating β-cell growth and differentiation and promoting β-cell turnover. The incretins also enhance target tissue insulin sensitivity. Incretin-based therapies offer low risk of hypoglycemia, as the activation of incretin receptors is coupled to stimulation of insulin secretion in the presence of elevated blood glucose.
Although GLP-1 is very beneficial in maintaining glycemic control in diabetic patients, the peptide is metabolically unstable, as it is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitous serine protease dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), with an extremely short half-life in vivo, approximately 2 min, thus making it unattractive from the therapeutic standpoint. One approach to circumvent this stability problem has been the development of long-acting degradation-resistant peptides that can be administered parenterally (Deacon, C. F., Diabetes, 53, 2181-2189, 2004). This has resulted in the development of exenatide (Byetta, Amylin Pharmaceuticals), a peptidic GLP-1 receptor agonist, that was approved by the FDA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Several other long-acting DPP-IV resistant GLP-1 analogs are in clinical development (P. L. Brubaker, Trends Endocrinol. Metab. 18, 240-245, 2007). An alternative therapeutic strategy has focused on the inhibition of proteolytic activity of DPP-IV, to prevent the degradation of GLP-1 (and other incretin hormone GIP) and extend its plasma half-life (Green, B. D., et al. Expert Opin. Emerging Drugs 11, 525-539, 2006; Sebokova, E., et al. Curr. Top. Med. Chem. 7, 547-555, 2007)
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV, EC 3.4.14.5; also known as CD26), a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein, is a serine protease that cleaves N-terminal dipeptides from polypeptides with L-proline or L-alanine at the penultimate position. It is present both in circulation (plasma) and on the surface of several cell types, including epithelial, endothelial and lymphoid cells. It is identical to the T cell activation antigen CD26 and the adenosine deaminase-binding protein. The endogenous substrates of DPP-IV include a wide variety of proline-containing peptides such as growth factors, chemokines, neuropeptides and vasoactive peptides (Gorrell, M., Clin. Sci. 108, 277-292, 2005; McIntosh, C. H. S., et al. Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. 38, 860-872, 2006)
Preclinical studies in laboratory animals, both genetic and pharmacological, have amply demonstrated the essential role for DPP-IV in the control of glucose homeostasis. Mice with a targeted inactivation of DPP-IV gene or Fischer344/CRJ rats with a spontaneous inactivating DPP-IV mutation have increased GLP-1 levels and show improved glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, pharmacological DPP-IV blockade was found to improve glucose tolerance in animal models of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes (I. Idris and R. Donnelly, Diab. Obes. Metab. 9, 153-165, 2007; D. J. Drucker, Diab. Care 30, 1335-1343, 2007).
The selectivity of DPP-IV inhibitors against other closely-related proline-specific dipeptidyl peptidases, particularly DPP-8 and DPP-9, has been one of the key issues in the selection of compounds for development, as there is potential for adverse events associated with non-selective DPP-IV inhibitors. The inhibition of DPP-8 and DPP-9 has been found to be associated with toxicities in rat and dog (Lankas, G. R., et al. Diabetes 54, 2988-2994, 2005). Therefore, it is important to demonstrate that DPP-IV inhibitors do not appreciably inhibit these closely related enzymes. Consequently, the degree of DPP-8/DPP-9 selectivity has become an important criterion in the selection and development of DPP-IV inhibitors.
Clinically, DPP-IV inhibitors have been found to be very effective in providing glycemic control in diabetic subjects. These molecules are orally bioavailable, prevent degradation of GLP-1 leading to increased circulating levels of hormone and also stabilize other incretins. However, circulating insulin levels are not increased during DPP-IV inhibitor treatment. These inhibitors also improve fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, as well as effectively lower HbA1c in diabetic patients. They are found to have good tolerability and safety profile during clinical trials and posed low risk of hypoglycemia. Currently, two DPP-IV inhibitors (sitagliptin and vildagliptin) are in clinical use, both as monotherapy and in combination with other antidiabetic agents, such as metformin or thiazolidinediones. Several DPP-IV inhibitors are in advanced stages of clinical development (e.g. alogliptin, saxagliptin, BI-1356, dutogliptin). Several other DPP IV inhibitors are also reported in literature but are different from the compounds of the present invention to be discussed later.

The compounds of the invention were prepared as outlined below according to the methods described herein. However, the invention is not limited to these methods, the compounds may also be prepared as described for structurally related compounds in the literature.







The compound of formula-I can be obtained by methods described in literature. Such as Ber. 29,1575,2216, (1896) and J. org. chem. 27, 1269-1279, (1962). The compound of formula I was converted to the compound of the formula II by refluxing with 18N H2SO4 and subsequent reaction of aldehyde formed in situ at pH 6 (as a result of neutralization with a saturated aqueous solution of K2CO3) with R, S or RS phenyl glycinol in presence of sodium bisulphate and potassium cyanide under nitrogen atmosphere. This well known Strecker reaction is conducted at a temperature such as 0° C. to 30° C. for a suitable time such as 18-20 hours. The reaction forms two diastereomers of compound of formula II with exo and endo configuration if pure stereoisomer of phenyl glycinol is used as a reactant. Single diastereomer with Exo configuration was isolated by column chromatography, which was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
The nitrile group of the compound of formula II was converted to carboxylic acid with 50% HCl (6N) and the reaction is carried out at 0-25° C. for a suitable time such as 20-25 hours. The product so obtained is subjected to hydrogenation in a parr apparatus under suitable pressure such as at 80-100 psi in the presence of the catalyst such as Pd (OH)2 at 25-30° C. temperature for 12-15 hours to provide the compound of formula III. Compound of formula III was further converted to compound of formula IV by refluxing amino acid III in a solvent such as methanol under HCl gas purging for 12-15 hours. Further, the resulting amino ester is protected with a phthalimido group, optionally in the presence of the suitable base such as triethyl amine or diisopropyl ethylamine and in a solvent such as THF for 2-3 hours.
N-demethylation of the compound of formula IV was achieved by two-step process as shown in the scheme-I. In this two step process, the compound of the formula IV was subjected to react with trichloroethyl chloroformate and anhydrous K2CO3 in a hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene and refluxing under nitrogen atmosphere for a suitable time, such as 2-3 hours followed by the reaction with Zn, acetic acid, H2O at a temperature, such as 10-30° C. temperature for a suitable time 16 hours to provide the compound of formula V.

The reaction temperature may be in range between 0° C. to 100° C. The duration of the reaction may range from 1-30 hours. The inert atmosphere may be employed by using inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, or helium.

Demonstration of In Vitro Efficacy of Test Compounds
Inhibition of Human Recombinant DPP-IV
The proteolytic activity of human recombinant DPP-IV was determined by following the hydrolysis of Gly-Pro-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (Gly-Pro-AMC) and the fluorometric quantitation of the liberated AMC. Assays were routinely carried out in 96-well flat-bottom black microwell plates. The reaction mixture (100 μl) contained 10 ng of human recombinant DPP-IV enzyme (produced in-house or procured from R&D Systems, USA) in the assay buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl and 0.1 mg/ml BSA) and 50 μM Gly-Pro-AMC. After incubation of assay plates at 30° C. for 30 min, the hydrolysis of Gly-Pro-AMC was monitored in a fluorescence microplate reader (Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5), with excitation and emission wavelengths set at 360 nm and 460 nm, respectively.
The inhibition of DPP-IV activity by test compounds was routinely performed by preincubating the enzyme with test compound (10 and 100 nM for primary screening and 8 concentrations from 0.1 to 1000 nM for the dose-response study) or vehicle (0.01% DMSO) for 15 min at 30° C., in a total volume of 90 μl. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and serially diluted further in assay buffer. The enzyme reaction was initiated by the addition of Gly-Pro-AMC, followed by incubation of assay plates for 30 min at 30° C. and the liberated AMC was measured as described above. A known inhibitor of DPP-IV (positive control) was always included in the assay. Test compounds at various concentrations were always evaluated in duplicate, along with substrate blanks, vehicle controls and positive controls.
The results are expressed as percent inhibition of the enzyme activity relative to vehicle controls. Dose-response studies were conducted for those compounds exerting ≧50% inhibition of activity at 10 nM in primary screening. IC50, defined as the inhibitor concentration which caused a 50% decrease of the activity under assay conditions, was computed using GraphPad Prism software, version 5.0.
The DPP-IV inhibition data (expressed either as IC50 in nanomolar or percent inhibition at a particular compound concentration) is presented in Table 1.

Demonstration of In Vivo Efficacy of Test Compounds

A. Measurement of Plasma DPP-IV Activity in Male Wistar Rats

Overnight-fasted male animals were administered either vehicle or single oral doses of compounds. Blood samples were withdrawn from retro-bulbar venous plexus under anesthesia at several time points up to 24 h post-dose. EDTA-plasma was separated and DPP-IV activity was measured using a fluorometric assay. Assays were carried out in 96-well flat-bottom black microwell plates. A typical reaction contained 25 μl plasma, 50 μl of 50 μM substrate (Gly-Pro-AMC) and 25 μl assay buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl and 1% BSA) in a total reaction volume of 100 μl. Plasma samples were incubated with the substrate for 30 min at 30° C., following which the fluorescence was measured in a microplate fluorescence redaer (POLARstar Galaxy), with excitation and emission wavelengths set at 360 nm and 460 nm, respectively. Percent inhibition in plasma DPP-IV activity due to compounds was calculated by comparing with plasma from vehicle-treated animals.

B. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Male C57BU6J Mice

Overnight-fasted male C67BL/6J mice were challenged 1 h, 4 h and 8 h after either vehicle or compound administration with an oral glucose load of 5 g/kg in three different groups of animals. Blood samples for glucose measurement were obtained by tail bleed at predose, before glucose load and at serial time points after the glucose load, to evaluate the efficacy and duration of effect on glucose tolerance test. Glucose excursion profile from t=0 to t=120 minutes was used to integrate an area under the curve (AUC) for each treatment. Improvement in glucose tolerance in compound-treated animals was estimated by comparing with vehicle-treated animals.
Table 3 provides data for the antihyperglycemic activity of selected compounds in C57BL/6J mice, as determined by oral glucose tolerance test.
