The invention relates to inhibitors of diacylglycerol acyltransferase. The inhibitors are useful for the treatment of diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome.
All documents cited or relied upon below are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
Triglycerides or triacylglycerols are the major form of energy storage in eukaryotic organisms. In mammals, these compounds are primarily synthesized in three tissues: the small intestine, liver, and adipocytes. Triglycerides or triacylglycerols support the major functions of dietary fat absorption, packaging of newly synthesized fatty acids and storage in fat tissue (see Subauste and Burant, Current Drug Targets—Immune, Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders (2003) 3, 263-270).
Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase, also known as diglyceride acyltransferase or DGAT, is a key enzyme in triglyceride synthesis. DGAT catalyzes the final and rate-limiting step in triacylglycerol synthesis from 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and long chain fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Thus, DGAT plays an essential role in the metabolism of cellular diacylglycerol and is critically important for triglyceride production and energy storage homeostasis (see Mayorek et al, European Journal of Biochemistry (1989) 182, 395-400).
DGAT has a specificity for sn-1,2 diacylglycerols and will accept a wide variety of fatty acyl chain lengths (see Farese et al, Current Opinions in Lipidology (2000) 11, 229-234). DGAT activity levels increase in fat cells as they differentiate in vitro and recent evidence suggests that DGAT may be regulated in adipose tissue post-transcriptionally (see Coleman et al, Journal of Molecular Biology (1978) 253, 7256-7261 and Yu et al, Journal of Molecular Biology (2002) 277, 50876-50884). DGAT activity is primarily expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (see Colman, Methods in Enzymology (1992) 209, 98-104). In hepatocytes, DGAT activity has been shown to be expressed on both the cytosolic and luminal surfaces of the endoplasmic reticular membrane (see Owen et al, Biochemical Journal (1997) 323 (pt 1), 17-21 and Waterman et al, Journal of Lipid Research (2002) 43, 1555-156). In the liver, the regulation of triglyceride synthesis and partitioning, between retention as cytosolic droplets and secretion, is of primary importance in determining the rate of VLDL production (see Shelness and Sellers, Current Opinions in Lipidology (2001) 12, 151-157 and Owen et al, Biochemical Journal (1997) 323 (pt 1), 17-21).
Two forms of DGAT have been cloned and are designated DGAT1 and DGAT2 (see Cases et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, USA (1998) 95, 13018-13023, Lardizabal et al, Journal of Biological Chemistry (2001) 276, 38862-38869 and Cases et al, Journal of Biological Chemistry (2001) 276, 38870-38876). Although both enzymes utilize the same substrates, there is no homology between DGAT1 and DGAT2. Both enzymes are widely expressed however some differences do exist in the relative abundance of expression in various tissues.
The gene encoding mouse DGAT1 has been used to create DGAT knock-out. These mice, although unable to express a functional DGAT enzyme (Dgat−/− mice), are viable and continue to synthesize triglycerides (see Smith et al, Nature Genetics (2000) 25, 87-90). This would suggest that multiple catalytic mechanisms contribute to triglyceride synthesis, such as DGAT2. An alternative pathway has also been shown to form triglycerides from two diacylglycerols by the action of diacylglycerol transacylase (see Lehner and Kuksis, Progress in Lipid Research (1996) 35, 169-210).
Dgat−/− mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and remain lean. When fed a high fat diet, Dgat−/− mice maintain weights comparable to mice fed a diet with regular fat content. Dgat−/− mice have lower tissue triglyceride levels. The resistance to weight gain seen in the knockout mice, which have a slightly higher food intake, is due to an increased energy expenditure and increased sensitivity to insulin and leptin (see Smith et al, Nature Genetics (2000) 25, 87-90, Chen and Farese, Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine (2000) 10, 188-192, Chen and Farese, Current Opinions in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care (2002) 5, 359-363 and Chen et al, Journal of Clinical Investigation (2002) 109, 1049-1055). Dgat−/− mice have reduced rates of triglyceride absorption, improved triglyceride metabolism, and improved glucose metabolism, with lower glucose and insulin levels following a glucose load, in comparison to wild-type mice (see Buhman et al, Journal of Biological Chemistry (2002) 277, 25474-25479 and Chen and Farese, Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine (2000) 10, 188-192).
Disorders or imbalances in triglyceride metabolism, both absorption as well as de novo synthesis, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of disease risks These include obesity, insulin resistance syndrome, type II diabetes, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome (syndrome X) and coronary heart disease (see Kahn, Nature Genetics (2000) 25, 6-7, Yanovski and Yanovski, New England Journal of Medicine (2002) 346, 591-602, Lewis et al, Endocrine Reviews (2002) 23, 201, Brazil, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery (2002) 1, 408, Malloy and Kane, Advances in Internal Medicine (2001) 47,111, Subauste and Burant, Current Drug Targets—Immune, Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders (2003) 3, 263-270 and Yu and Ginsberg, Annals of Medicine (2004) 36, 252-261). Compounds that can decrease the synthesis of triglycerides from diacylglycerol by inhibiting or lowering the activity of the DGAT enzyme would be of value as therapeutic agents for the treatment diseases associated with abnormal metabolism of triglycerides.

Also known to be modulators of DGAT activity are antisense oligonucleotides (see Monia and Graham, US20040185559).

Compounds of the present invention can be prepared beginning with commercially available starting materials and utilizing general synthetic techniques and procedures known to those skilled in the art. Outlined below are reaction schemes suitable for preparing such compounds. Further exemplification is found in the specific examples listed below.
In Scheme 1, compound i (X and Y can be CH or N, Hal can be F, Cl, Br or I) can be treated with various cyclic amines (ii, iv, vi, viii, x, xii) in the presence of base and through nucleophilic aromatic substitution gave the corresponding nitro adduct (iii, v, vii, ix, xi, xiii). The resulting nitro compounds can be reduced to the corresponding amines by catalytic hydrogenation. Each arrow in Scheme 1 represents two individual reactions.
For the formation of compound iii, the cyclic amine can be 3-amino-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (compound ii, n=1) or 4-amino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (compound ii, n=2) and the exocyclic nitrogen can be alkylated or non-alkylated (compound ii, R=H or lower alkyl group). The configuration of 3-amino-pyrrolidine can be (R) or (S)-stereoisomer.
When the cyclic amine is piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (compound iv), substitution and subsequent reduction will generate compound v.
Alternatively, the cyclic amine can be pyrrolidin-3-yl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (compound vi, n=1) or piperidin-4-yl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (compound vi, n=2) and the carbamate nitrogen can be alkylated or non-alkylated (compound vi, R═H or lower alkyl group). The stereochemistry of pyrrolidin-3-yl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester can be (R) or (S)-configuration.
Additionally, the cyclic amine can also be a 4-substituted piperidine derivative as in compound viii for the preparation of compound ix (m=0 or 1, R′ can be methyl or ethyl).
Applying the same methodology, compounds xi and xiii (n=1 or 2, R′ can be methyl or ethyl) can be prepared by reacting compound i with the ester of amino-cycloalkyl-carboxylic acid (compound x) or the ester of pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (compound xii, n=1).
In Scheme 2, the cross-coupling of aryl halide (compound i, Hal can be Cl, Br or I) with a pinacol borate (compound xiv) can be accomplished through a palladium catalyzed reaction according to known procedure (Tetrahedron Letters, 2000, 41, 3705). The pinacol borate (compound xiv) can be prepared from 4-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as described in the literature (Synthesis, 1991, 11, 993). The nitro group and the olefin in the coupling product can both be hydrogenated to generate compound xv.
In Scheme 3, amide formation of an aryl-substituted five membered ring heterocyclic carboxylic acid (compound xvi, where Z1 can be carbon or nitrogen, X1 and Y1 can be oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, R can be halogen, lower alkyl, fluorine substituted alkyl or alkoxy group) with an aryl amine xvii can be carried out by using general amide coupling methods such as acid chloride, mixed anhydride or coupling reagents. It is understood that a variety of coupling reagents such as EDCl, PyBroP® and many others can be applied.
The chemical structure of compound xvii is meant to encompass those represented by compounds iii, v, vii and xv with the different cyclic amines being represented by spacer Q. The nitrogen that links spacer Q and the tert-butyloxycarbonyl group can be part of the ring (e.g. compound v) or outside of the ring (e.g. compound vii). The tert-butyloxycarbonyl group in the coupling product can be cleaved under acidic condition to generate the corresponding amine xviii.
In addition, heterocyclic carboxylic acid xvi can also be coupled with amine ix, xi and xiii under the same amide formation conditions. The esters of the amide coupling product can further be hydrolyzed to generate the corresponding carboxylic acids.
The key intermediate xviii in Scheme 3 can be functionalized to form various amides, carbamates and ureas. As shown in Scheme 4, compound xviii can be treated with acyl chloride or carboxylic acid to form amide xix (R′ can be cyclic or acyclic alkyl group). For the formation of urea xx, compound xviii can be treated with isocyanate or alkylaminocarbonyl chloride. Finally, the reaction of xviii with alkoxycarbonyl chloride will generate carbamate xxi.
To prepare amides with terminal carboxylic acids, xviii can be treated with anhydride xxiii (E can be cyclic or acyclic alkyl group) to form carboxylic acid xxiv. In case when xxiii is not readily available, the direct coupling of xviii with dicarboxylic acid xxii using coupling reagents can also lead to xxiv.
Alternatively, the dicarboxylic acid in xxii can be transformed to a mono-ester mono-carboxylic acid which can be coupled with xviii, and the cleavage of the resulting ester will generate compound xxiv.
For compound xxii, when spacer E is cyclic, the dicarboxylic acid can be in cis or trans-conformation. For cases where spacer E has stereogenic centers, single enantiomers of compound xxiv can be prepared through chiral separation.
Compounds with the structure xxviii, where a biarylamine is linked to a heterocyclic carboxylic acid through an amide linkage, can be prepared by using Suzuki coupling reactions. In Scheme 5,5-amino-2-halogen substituted aromatic compound xxv (Hal=Cl, Br or I, X and Y can be CH or N) can be coupled with aryl substituted heterocyclic carboxylic acid xvi using general amide coupling conditions as described above to generate compound xxvi. Suzuki coupling of xxvi with aryl boronic acid derivative xxvii (A can be CH or N, R′=H, halogen or simple alkyl, R″=H or alkyl, the boronic acid ester can also be cyclic such as pinocolate, W can be amide, carbamate, urea, ester or carboxylic acid) will generate compound xxviii.
An alternative route to prepare compound xxviii is shown in Scheme 6. Compound xxv can be coupled with aryl boronic acid derivative xxvii first to form a biarylamine derivative xxix under Suzuki coupling conditions. The resulting biarylamine can then be reacted with heterocyclic carboxylic acid xvi under amide formation conditions to form compound xxviii.
Shown in Scheme 7 is a general method to prepare claimed compounds with an ether linkage. The hydroxyl substituted heterocycle xxx (n=1 or 2) can be reacted with aryl halide i in the presence of sodium hydride or 4-dimethylaminopyridine to generate an aryl ether xxxi. The nitro group in xxxi can be reduced and the resulting amine can be coupled with heterocyclic carboxylic acid xvi to generate compound xxxii. The tert-butyloxycarbonyl group in xxxii can be cleaved under acidic condition and the resulting amine can be functionalized to generate compound xxxiii, where R represents alkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, and alkyl/cycloalkyl with carboxylic acid.
In the practice of the method of the present invention, an effective amount of any one of the compounds of this invention or a combination of any of the compounds of this invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered via any of the usual and acceptable methods known in the art, either singly or in combination. The compounds or compositions can thus be administered orally (e.g., buccal cavity), sublingually, parenterally (e.g., intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously), rectally (e.g., by suppositories or washings), transdermally (e.g., skin electroporation) or by inhalation (e.g., by aerosol), and in the form or solid, liquid or gaseous dosages, including tablets and suspensions. The administration can be conducted in a single unit dosage form with continuous therapy or in a single dose therapy ad libitum. The therapeutic composition can also be in the form of an oil emulsion or dispersion in conjunction with a lipophilic salt such as pamoic acid, or in the form of a biodegradable sustained-release composition for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers and their formulation are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences by E. W. Martin. Such compositions will, in any event, contain an effective amount of the active compound together with a suitable carrier so as to prepare the proper dosage form for proper administration to the recipient.
The dose of a compound of the present invention depends on a number of factors, such as, for example, the manner of administration, the age and the body weight of the subject, and the condition of the subject to be treated, and ultimately will be decided by the attending physician or veterinarian. Such an amount of the active compound as determined by the attending physician or veterinarian is referred to herein, and in the claims, as a “therapeutically effective amount”. For example, the dose of a compound of the present invention is typically in the range of about 1 to about 1000 mg per day. Preferably, the therapeutically effective amount is in an amount of from about 1 mg to about 500 mg per day
The invention will now be further described in the Examples below, which are intended as an illustration only and do not limit the scope of the invention.
To a mixture of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (476 mg, 3.0 mmol) and 4-piperidine acetic acid methyl ester (471 mg, 3.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (1.0 mL, 5.74 mmol). The mixture was heated in a microwave at 120° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and extracted with ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and solvents were evaporated. The residue was purified using flash chromatography (eluting with ethyl acetate and hexanes) to give (5′-nitro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a yellow solid. The NMR spectrum obtained on the sample is compatible with its structure.
To a solution of (5′-nitro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester (279 mg, 1 mmol) from above in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and methanol (50 mL) was added 10% palladium on carbon (50 mg). The mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 1 hr. The mixture was filtered and the solvents were evaporated to give (5′-amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester that was used in the next step without further purification.
To a solution of diisopropylamine (7.64 mL, 54.5 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) at −78° C. was added n-butyl lithium (2.5 M, 20 mL, 50.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at −65° C. for 30 minutes. Then ethyl isobutyrate (6.09 mL, 45.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at −60° C. for 45 minutes.

Materials for the assay were: PL-FlashPlate: Phospholipid FlashPlates from PerkinElmer, catalog number SMP108; DAG (1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol) 10 mM suspended in water containing 0.1% Triton X-100; 14C-Pal-CoA (palmitoyl coenzyme A, [palmitoyl-1-14C]) from PerkinElmer, catalog number NEC-555 with a specific activity of 55 mCi/mmol; and DGAT pellet, with a protein concentration of 9.85 mg/ml.
Aqueous buffers were prepared or purchased as follows: The coating buffer (CB) was purchased from PerkinElmer, catalog number SMP900A; the reaction buffer (RB) was 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% BSA in water; the washing buffer (WB) is 50 m M Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% deoxycholic acid sodium salt in water; the dilution buffer (DB) was 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.2% Triton X-100 in water.
1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol (DAG, 10 mmoles) was diluted to 500 μM with coating buffer (CB). The diluted DAG solution was then added to 384-well PL-FlashPlates at 60 μl per well, and incubated at room temperature for 2 days. The coated plates were then washed twice with washing buffer (WB) before use. Test compounds were serial diluted to 2000, 666.7, 222.2, 74.1, 24.7, 8.2, 2.7 and 0.9 μM in 100% DMSO. Diluted compound were further diluted 10 fold with reaction buffer (RB). 14C-Pal-CoA was diluted to 8.3 μM with RB. The DGAT pellet was diluted to 0.13 mg protein/ml with dilution buffer (DB) immediately before it was added to the PL-FlashPlates to start the reaction. 20 μl of the RB-diluted compounds (or 10% DMSO in RB for Total and Blank), 15 μl of RB diluted 14C-Pal-CoA and 15 μl of DB diluted DGAT pellet (DB without DGAT for Blanks) were transferred to each well of the PL-FlashPlates. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The reactions were stopped by washing 3 times with WB. Plates were sealed with Top-seal and read on a Topcount instrument.
Calculation of IC50: The IC50 values for each compound were generated using an Excel template. The Topcount rpm readings of Total and Blank were used as 0% and 100% inhibition. The percent inhibition values of reactions in the presence of compounds were calculated, and plotted against compound concentrations. All data were fitted into a Dose Response One Site model (4 parameter logistic model) as the following:
(A+((B−A)/(1+((x/C)̂D)))),
with A and B as the bottom and top of the curve (highest and lowest inhibition), respectively, and C as IC50 and D as Hill Coefficient of the compound. The results are summarized in Table 1 below:
