Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compounds which inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them as the active ingredient, methods for the treatment of disease states associated with DPP- IV activity, to their use as medicaments and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the inhibition of DPP-IV in warm-blooded animals such as humans.
  • this invention relates to compounds useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in warmblooded animals such as humans, more particularly to the use of these compounds in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the treatment of diabetes mellitus in warm-blooded animals such as humans.
  • DPP-IV is a serine protease found throughout the body, which degrades and regulates the activity of several regulatory peptides in man including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), GLP-2, GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) and GIP (glucagon interacting peptide).
  • GLP-1 is a peptide hormone which is released from the intestinal tract wall into the bloodstream in response to a meal and strongly influences post-prandial glucose metabolism. As post-prandial glucose levels rise, GLP-1 acts directly on pancreatic ⁇ -cells to augment insulin release and also promote new insulin biosynthesis. Simultaneously, GLP-1 delays gastric emptying, further suppressing meal-related rise in plasma glucose. It has been shown (Rachman, J. et al, (1997), Diabetologia, 40, 205-211; Nauck, M.A. et al, (1996),
  • GLP-1 administration either subcutaneously or by intravenous infusion improves glucose tolerance in diabetic patients, however daily administration of GLP-1 is not generally considered to be a desirable form of therapy.
  • DPP-IV degrades GLP-1 circulating in the bloodstream and inhibition of DPP-IV activity causes an increase in the half life, and therefore activity, of GLP-1. Additionally DPP- IV inhibitors have beneficial effects on pancreatic failure: Ribel U.
  • DPP-IV inhibitor valine pyrrolidide (VP) promoted differentiation of new beta cells in 60% pancreatectomised rats. Therefore, administration of a DPP-IV inhibitor should result in prolongation of endogenous GLP-1 activity and thus potentially in a clinically significant lowering of diabetic hyperglycemia.
  • a DPP-IV inhibitor may potentially be useful for the prevention, delay or treatment of Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. Novel DPP-IV inhibitors have been described in the art.
  • 2- cyanopyrrolidines derivatives with a significant range of substituents bonded to the ring nitrogen (see for example WO 98/19998, WO 00/34241, WO 01/96295, WO 01/40180), or contain this structure (see for example WO 01/68603 which discloses cyclopropyl fused cyano pyrrolidines).
  • Others are cyanothiazolidines (see for example US 6110949, US 6107317, WO 99/61431), also with a variety of substituents bonded to the ring nitrogen.
