`
`Field of the Invention
`
`The present invention relates to cyclopropyl—fused
`
`pyrrolidine—based inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV
`
`(DP—4), and to a method for treating diabetes, especially
`
`Type II diabetes, as well as hyperglycemia, Syndrome X,
`
`diabetic complications, hyperinsulinemia, obesity,
`
`atherosclerosis and related diseases, as well as various
`
`immunomodulatory diseases and chronic inflammatory bowel
`
`disease, employing such cyclopropyl—fused pyrrolidines
`
`alone or in combination with another type antidiabetic
`
`agent and/or other type therapeutic agent.
`
`Background of the Invention
`
`Depeptidyl peptidase IV (DP—4)
`
`is a membrane bound
`
`non—classical serine aminodipeptidase which is located in
`
`a variety of tissues (intestine,
`
`liver,
`
`lung, kidney) as
`
`well as on circulating T—lymphocytes
`
`(where the enzyme is
`
`known as CD—26).
`
`It is responsible for the metabolic
`
`cleavage of certain endogenous peptides (GLP—l(7—36),
`
`glucagon)
`
`in vivo and has demonstrated proteolytic
`
`activity against a variety of other peptides (GHRH, NPY,
`
`GLP—2, VIP)
`
`in vitro.
`
`GLP—l(7—36)
`
`is a 29 amino—acid peptide derived by
`
`post—translational processing of proglucagon in the small
`
`intestine.
`
`GLP—l(7—36) has multiple actions in vivo
`
`including the stimulation of insulin secretion,
`
`inhibition of glucagon secretion,
`
`the promotion of
`
`satiety, and the slowing of gastric emptying. Based on
`
`its physiological profile,
`
`the actions of GLP—l(7—36) are
`
`expected to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment
`
`0003
`
`0003
`
`
`
`LAOO50 NP .
`
`.
`
`of type II diabetes and potentially obesity.
`
`To support
`
`this claim, exogenous administration of GLP—1(7—36)
`
`(continuous infusion)
`
`in diabetic patients has
`
`demonstrated efficacy in this patient population.
`
`Unfortunately GLP—l(7—36)
`
`is degraded rapidly in vivo and
`
`has been shown to have a short half—life in vivo
`
`(tl/2~1.5 min).
`
`Based on a study of genetically bred DP-
`
`4 KO mice and on in vivo/in vitro studies with selective
`
`DP—4 inhibitors, DP—4 has been shown to be the primary
`
`degrading enzyme of GLP—l(7—36)
`
`in vivo.
`
`GLP—l(7—36)
`
`is
`
`degraded by DP—4 efficiently to GLP—1(9—36), which has
`
`been speculated to act as a physiological antagonist to
`
`GLP—l(7—36).
`
`Thus,
`
`inhibition of DP—4
`
`in vivo should
`
`potentiate endogenous levels of GLP—1(7—36) and attenuate
`
`formation of its antagonist GLP-l(9—36) and thus serve to
`
`ameliorate the diabetic condition.
`
`Description of the Invention

`In accordance with the present invention,
`
`cyclopropyl—fused pyrrolidine—based compounds are
`
`provided which inhibit DP—4 and have the structure

`Detailed Description of the Invention
`
`15
`
`Compounds of the structure I may be generated by
`
`the methods as shown in the following reaction schemes
`
`and the description thereof.
`
`Referring to Reaction Scheme 1, compound l, where
`
`PG1 is a common amine protecting group such as Boc, Cbz,
`
`20
`
`or FMOC and X1 is H or COZR9 as set out below, may be
`
`generated by methods as described herein or in the
`
`literature (for example see Sagnard et al, Tet—Lett.,
`
`1995, 36, pp. 3148-3152, Tverezovsky et al, Tetrahedron,
`
`-8-
`
`0010
`
`0010
`
`
`
`LAo05o NP 0
`
`.
`
`1997, 53, pp. 14773-14792, Hanessian et al, Bioorg. Med.
`
`Chem. Lett., 1998, 8, p. 2123—2128).
`
`Removal of the PG1
`
`group by conventional methods
`
`(e.g.
`
`(1) TFA or HCl when
`
`PG1 is Boc, or
`
`(2) H2/Pd/C, TMSI when PG1 is Cbz, or
`
`(3)
`
`Et2NH when PG1 is (FMOC) affords the free amine 2. Amine
`
`2 may be coupled to various protected amino acids such as
`
`3
`
`(where PG2 can be any of the PG; protecting groups)
`
`using standard peptide coupling conditions (e.g.
`
`EDAC/HOAT,
`
`i—BuCOCOCl/TEA, PyBop/NMM)
`
`to afford the
`
`corresponding dipeptide 4. Removal of the amine
`
`protecting group PG2 provides compound Ia of the invention
`where X=H.
`
`In the case where Xl=CO2R9
`
`(where R9 is alkyl or
`
`aralkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl,
`
`t-butyl, or
`
`benzyl),
`
`the ester may be hydrolyzed under a variety of
`
`conditions, for example with aqueous NaOH in a suitable
`
`solvent such as methanol, THF, or dioxane,
`
`to provide the
`
`acid 5. Conversion of the acid group to the primary
`
`carboxamide, affording 6, may be effected by activation
`
`of the acid group (e.g. employing i—BuOCOC1/TEA or EDAC)
`
`followed by treatment with NH3 or an ammonia equivalent in
`
`a solvent such as dioxane, ether, or methanol.
`
`The amide
`
`functionality may be converted to the nitrile group by a
`
`variety of standard conditions (e.g.
`
`POCl3/pyridine/imidazole or cyanuric chloride/DMF or
`
`trifluoroacetic anhydride, THF, pyridine) to give 7.
`
`Finally,
`
`removal of the PG2 protecting group similar to
`
`above provides compound of the invention Ib.
`
`In a different sequence (Scheme 2), compound 1
`
`where X1 is con? may be saponified to the acid and
`
`subsequently amidated as described above to give amide 8.
`
`Removal of the PG; group followed by peptide coupling to 3
`
`affords compound 6, an intermediate in the synthesis of
`Ib.
`
`Alternately,
`
`the carboxamide group in 8 may be
`
`converted to the nitrile as described above to give
`
`compound 9. Deprotection of PG1 affords 10 which may be

`
`.
`
`subject to standard peptide coupling conditions to afford
`
`7, an intermediate in the synthesis of Ib.
`
`Compound 10
`
`may also be generated by oxidation of the amine 2
`
`(e.g.
`
`NCS)
`
`followed by hydrolysis and subsequent cyanide
`
`treatment.' Compound 10 may be obtained as a mixture of
`
`stereoisomers or a single isomer/diastereomer which may
`
`be epimerized (employing conventional procedures)
`
`to
`
`afford a mixture of stereoisomers.

`
`It is believed that the use of the compounds of

`
