BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Triglycerides represent the major form of energy stored in eukaryotes. Disorders or imbalances in triglyceride metabolism are implicated in the pathogenesis of and increased risk for obesity, insulin resistance syndrome and type II diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and coronary heart disease (see, Lewis, et al, Endocrine Reviews (2002) 23:201 and Malloy and Kane, Adv Intern Med (2001) 47:111). Additionally, hypertriglyceridemia is often an adverse consequence of cancer therapy (see, Bast, et al. Cancer Medicine, 5th Ed., (2000) B. C. Decker, Hamilton, Ontario, Calif.).

[0005] A key enzyme in the synthesis of triglycerides is acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase, or DGAT. DGAT is a microsomal enzyme that is widely expressed in mammalian tissues and that catalyzes the joining of 1,2-diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA to form triglycerides at the endoplasmic reticulum (reviewed in Chen and Farese, Trends Cardiovasc Med (2000) 10:188 and Farese, et al, Curr Opin Lipidol (2000) 11:229). It was originally thought that DGAT uniquely controlled the catalysis of the final step of acylation of diacylglycerol to triglyceride in the two major pathways for triglyceride synthesis, the glycerol phosphate and monoacylglycerol pathways. Because triglycerides are considered essential for survival, and their synthesis was thought to occur through a single mechanism, inhibition of triglyceride synthesis through inhibiting the activity of DGAT has been largely unexplored.

[0006] Genes encoding mouse DGAT1 and the related human homologs ARGP1 and ARGP2 now have been cloned and characterized (Cases, et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci (1998) 95:13018; Oelkers, et al, J Biol Chem (1998) 273:26765). The gene for mouse DGAT1 has been used to create DGAT knock-out mice to better elucidate the function of the DGAT gene. Unexpectedly, mice unable to express a functional DGAT enzyme (Dgat−/− mice) are viable and still able to synthesize triglycerides, indicating that multiple catalytic mechanisms contribute to triglyceride synthesis (Smith, et al, Nature Genetics (2000) 25:87). Other enzymes that catalyze triglyceride synthesis, for example, DGAT2 and diacylglycerol transacylase, also have been identified (Buhman, J Biol Chem, supra and Cases, et al, J Biol Chem (2001) 276:38870).

[0007] Significantly, Dgat−/− mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and remain lean. Even when fed a high fat diet (21% fat) Dgat−/− mice maintain weights comparable to mice fed a regular diet (4% fat) and have lower total body triglyceride levels. The obesity resistance in Dgat−/− mice is not due to deceased caloric intake, but the result of increased energy expenditure and decreased resistance to insulin and leptin (Smith, et al, Nature Genetics, supra; Chen and Farese, Trends Cardiovasc Med, supra; and Chen, et al, J Clin Invest (2002) 109:1049). Additionally, Dgat−/− mice have reduced rates of triglyceride absorption (Buhman, et al, J Biol Chem (2002) 277:25474). In addition to improved triglyceride metabolism, Dgat−/− mice also have improved glucose metabolism, with lower glucose and insulin levels following a glucose load, in comparison to wild-type mice (Chen and Farese, Trends Cardiovasc Med, supra).

[0008] The finding that multiple enzymes contribute to catalyzing the synthesis of triglyceride from diacylglycerol is significant, because it presents the opportunity to modulate one catalytic mechanism of this biochemical reaction to achieve therapeutic results in an individual with minimal adverse side effects. Compounds that inhibit the conversion of diacylglycerol to triglyceride, for instance by specifically inhibiting the activity of the human homolog of DGAT1, will find use in lowering corporeal concentrations and absorption of triglycerides to therapeutically counteract the pathogenic effects caused by abnormal metabolism of triglycerides in obesity, insulin resistance syndrome and overt type II diabetes, congestive heart failure and atherosclerosis, and as a consequence of cancer therapy.

[0009] Because of the ever increasing prevalence of obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease and cancer in societies throughout the world, there is a pressing need in developing new therapies to effectively treat and prevent these diseases. Therefore there is an interest in developing compounds that can potently and specifically modulate a single catalytic mechanism of the enzymatic conversion of diacylglycerol to triglyceride. Of particular promise are compounds that specifically inhibit the catalytic activity of DGAT1 and its other mammalian homologs.

Obesity includes exogenous, hyperinsulinar, hyperplasmic, hypothyroid, hypothalamic, symptomatic, infantile, upper body, alimentary, hypogonadal, simple and central obesity, hypophyseal adiposity and hyperphagia. Metabolic disorders, such as hyperlidemia and diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders, such as hypertension and coronary artery disease, are commonly associated with obesity.

[0030] The term “modulate” refers to the ability of a compound to increase or decrease the function, or activity, of DGAT. “Modulation”, as used herein in its various forms, is intended to encompass antagonism, agonism, partial antagonism and/or partial agonism of the activity associated with DGAT. DGAT inhibitors are compounds that, e.g., bind to, partially or totally block stimulation, decrease, prevent, delay activation, inactivate, desensitize, or down regulate signal transduction. DGAT activators are compounds that, e.g., bind to, stimulate, increase, open, activate, facilitate, enhance activation, sensitize or up regulate signal transduction.

[0031] The term “composition” as used herein is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts. By “pharmaceutically acceptable” it is meant the carrier, diluent or excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.

[0032] The “subject” is defined herein to include animals such as mammals, including, but not limited to, primates (e.g., humans), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice and the like. In preferred embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0033] The term “DGAT” refers to the acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase or a variant thereof, unless otherwise stated. DGAT variants include proteins substantially homologous to native DGAT, i.e., proteins having one or more naturally or non-naturally occurring amino acid deletions, insertions or substitutions (e.g., DGAT derivatives, homologs and fragments). The amino acid sequence of a DGAT variant preferably is at least about 80% identical to a native DGAT, more preferably at least about 90% identical, and most preferably at least about 95% identical.

[0034] As used herein, the term “DGAT-associated condition or disorder” refers to a condition or disorder associated with inappropriate, e.g., less than or greater than normal, DGAT activity and atleast partially responsive to or affected by DGAT modulation (e.g., a DGAT inhibitor or antagonist results in some improvement in patient well-being in at least some patients). Inappropriate DGAT fuinctional activity might arise as the result of DGAT expression in cells which normally do not express DGAT decreased DGAT expression or increased DGAT expression. A DGAT-associated condition or disorder may include a DGAT-mediated condition or disorder.

[0035] As used herein, the term “DGAT-mediated condition or disorder” and the like refers to a condition or disorder characterized by inappropriate, e.g., less than or greater than normal, DGAT activity. A DGAT-mediated condition or disorder may be completely or partially mediated by inappropriate DGAT activity. However, a DGAT-mediated condition or disorder is one in which modulation of DGAT results in some effect on the underlying condition or disease (e.g., a DGAT inhibitor or antagonist results in some improvement in patient well-being in at least some patients).

[0036] The term “alkyl,” by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a straight or branched chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combination thereof, which is fully saturated, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e. C1-C8 means one to eight carbons). Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, cyclohexyl, (cyclohexyl)methyl, cyclopropylmethyl, homologs and isomers of, for example, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl and the like.

[0037] The term “alkenyl”, by itself or as part of another substituent, means a straight or branched chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combination thereof, which may be mono- or polyunsaturated, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e. C2-C8 means two to eight carbons) and one or more double bonds. Examples of alkenyl groups include vinyl, 2-propenyl, crotyl, 2-isopentenyl, 2-(butadienyl), 2,4-pentadienyl, 3-(1,4-pentadienyl) and higher homologs and isomers thereof.

[0038] The term “alkynyl”, by itself or as part of another substituent, means a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radical, or combination thereof, which may be mono- or polyunsaturated, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e. C2-C8 means two to eight carbons) and one or more triple bonds. Examples of alkynyl groups include ethynyl, 1- and 3-propynyl, 3-butynyl and higher homologs and isomers thereof.

[0039] The term “alkylene” by itself or as part of another substituent means a divalent radical derived from alkyl, as exemplified by —CH2CH2CH2CH2—. Typically, an alkyl (or alkylene) group will have from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, with those groups having 10 or fewer carbon atoms being preferred in the present invention. A “lower alkyl” or “lower alkylene” is a shorter chain alkyl or alkylene group, generally having eight or fewer carbon atoms. Similarly, “alkenylene” and “alkynylene” refer to unsaturated versions of alkylene, having at least one double bond or a triple bond, respectively. For example, “alkenylene” is meant to include —CH2CH═CHCH2—, while “alkynylene” is meant to include —CH2C≡CCH2—.

[0040] The terms “alkoxy,” “alkylamino” and “alkylthio” (or thioalkoxy) are used in their conventional sense, and refer to those alkyl groups attached to the remainder of the molecule via an oxygen atom, an amino group, or a sulfur atom, respectively.

[0041] The term “heteroalkyl,” by itself or in combination with another term, means, unless otherwise stated, a stable straight or branched chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combinations thereof, consisting of the stated number of carbon atoms and from one to three heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, Si and S, wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quatemized. The heteroatom(s) O, N and S may be placed at any interior position of the heteroalkyl group. The heteroatom Si may be placed at any position of the heteroalkyl group, including the position at which the alkyl group is attached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples include —CH2—CH2—O—CH3, —CH2—CH2—NH—CH3, —CH2—CH2—N(CH3)—CH3, —CH2—S—CH2—CH3, —CH2—CH2,—S(O)—CH3, —CH2—CH2—S(O)2—CH3, —CH═CH—O—CH3, —Si(CH3)3, —CH2—CH═N—OCH3, and —CH═CH—N(CH3)—CH3. Up to two heteroatoms may be consecutive, such as, for example, —CH2—NH—OCH3 and —CH2—O—Si(CH3)3.

[0042] Similarly, the term “heteroalkylene” by itself or as part of another substituent means a divalent radical derived from heteroalkyl, as exemplified by —CH2—CH2—S—CH2CH2— and —CH2—S—CH2—CH2—NH—CH2—. For heteroalkylene groups, heteroatoms can also occupy either or both of the chain termini (e.g., alkyleneoxy, alkylenedioxy, alkyleneamino, alkylenediamino, and the like). Still further, for alkylene and heteroalkylene linking groups, no orientation of the linking group is implied.

[0043] The terms “cycloalkyl” and “heterocycloalkyl”, by themselves or in combination with other terms, represent, unless otherwise stated, cyclic versions of “alkyl” and “heteroalkyl”, respectively. Accordingly, a cycloalkyl group has the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e., C3-C8 means three to eight carbons) and may also have one or two double bonds. A heterocycloalkyl group consists of the number of carbon atoms designated and from one to three heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, Si and S, and wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quatemized. Additionally, for heterocycloalkyl, a heteroatom can occupy the position at which the heterocycle is attached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples of cycloalkyl include cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 1-cyclohexenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, and the like. Examples of heterocycloalkyl include 1-(1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridyl), 1-piperidinyl, 2-piperidinyl, 3-piperidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, 3-morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl, tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, tetrahydrothien-2-yl, tetrahydrothien-3-yl, 1-piperazinyl, 2-piperazinyl, and the like.

[0044] The terms “halo” and “halogen,” by themselves or as part of another substituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as “haloalkyl,” are meant to include alkyl substituted with halogen atoms, which can be the same or different, in a number ranging from one to (2m′+1), where m′ is the total number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group. For example, the term “halo(C1-C4)alkyl” is mean to include trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, and the like. Thus, the term “haloalkyl” includes monohaloalkyl (alkyl substituted with one halogen atom) and polyhaloalkyl (alkyl substituted with halogen atoms in a number ranging from two to (2m′+1) halogen atoms, where m′ is the total number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group). The term “perhaloalkyl” means, unless otherwise stated, alkyl substituted with (2m′+1) halogen atoms, where m′ is the total number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group. For example the term “perhalo(C1-C4)alkyl” is meant to include trifluoromethyl, pentachloroethyl, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethyl and the like.

[0045] The term “aryl” means, unless otherwise stated, a polyunsaturated, typically aromatic, hydrocarbon substituent which can be a single ring or multiple rings (up to three rings) which are fused together or linked covalently. Non-limiting examples of aryl groups include phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.

[0046] The term “heteroaryl” refers to aryl groups (or rings) that contain from one to four heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S, wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized and the nitrogen heteroatom are optionally quaternized. A heteroaryl group can be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a heteroatom. Non-limiting examples of heteroaryl groups include 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrazolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, 2-oxazolyl, 4-oxazolyl, 2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl, 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl, 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl, 4-pyrimidyl, 5-benzothiazolyl, purinyl, 2-benzimidazolyl, 5-indolyl, 1-isoquinolyl, 5-isoquinolyl, 2-quinoxalinyl, 5-quinoxalinyl, 3-quinolyl and 6-quinolyl.

[0047] For brevity, the term “aryl” when used in combination with other terms (e.g., aryloxy, arylthioxy, arylalkyl) includes both aryl and heteroaryl rings as defined above. Thus, the term “arylalkyl” is meant to include those radicals in which an aryl group is attached to an alkyl group (e.g., benzyl, phenethyl, pyridylmethyl and the like) including those alkyl groups in which a carbon atom (e.g., a methylene group) has been replaced by, for example, an oxygen atom (e.g., phenoxymethyl, 2-pyridyloxymethyl, 3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl, and the like).

[0048] Each of the above terms (e.g., “alkyl,” “heteroalkyl,” “aryl” and “heteroaryl”) is meant to include both substituted and unsubstituted forms of the indicated radical. Preferred substituents for each type of radical are provided below.

[0049] Substituents for the alkyl and heteroalkyl radicals (as well as those groups referred to as alkylene, alkenyl, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and heterocycloalkenyl) can be a variety of groups selected from: —OR′, ═O, ═NR′, ═N—OR′, —NR′R′, —SR′, halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R′″, —NR′—SO2NR″R′″, —NR′CO2R′, —NH—C(NH2)═NH, —NR′C(NH2)═NH, —NH—C(NH2)═NR′, —S(O)R′, —SO2R′, —SO2NR′R″, —NR″SO2R′, —CN and —NO2, in a number ranging from zero to three, with those groups having zero, one or two substituents being particularly preferred. R′, R″ and R′″ each independently refer to hydrogen, unsubstituted (C1-C8)alkyl and heteroalkyl, unsubstituted aryl, aryl substituted with one to three halogens, unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy groups, or aryl-(C1-C4)alkyl groups. When R′ and R″ are attached to the same nitrogen atom, they can be combined with the nitrogen atom to form a 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring. For example, —NR′R″ is meant to include 1-pyrrolidinyl and 4-morpholinyl. Additionally, the above substituents can be attached to the alkyl group (or alkylene, cycloalkyl and the like) via a spacer of from one to four carbon atoms, generally present as methylene or branched unsubstituted alkylene (e.g. —CH2CH2— and —CH(CH3)CH2—), alkenylene or alkynylene group. Typically, an alkyl or heteroalkyl group will have from zero to three substituents, with those groups having two or fewer substituents being preferred in the present invention. More preferably, an alkyl or heteroalkyl radical will be unsubstituted or monosubstituted. Most preferably, an alkyl or heteroalkyl radical will be unsubstituted. From the above discussion of substituents, one of skill in the art will understand that the term “alkyl” is meant to include groups such as trihaloalkyl (e.g., —CF3 and —CH2CF3).

[0050] Preferred substituents for the alkyl and heteroalkyl radicals are selected from: —OR′, ═O, —NR′R″, —SR′, halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′CO2R′, —NR′—SO2NR″R′″, —S(O)R′, —SO2R′, —SO2NR′R″, —NR″SO2R′, —CN and —NO2, where R′ and R″ are as defined above. Further preferred substituents are selected from: —OR′, ═O, —NR′R″, halogen, —OC(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR″CO2R′, —NR′—SO2NR″R′″, —SO2R′, —SO2NR′R″, —NR″SO2R, —CN and —NO2. Additionally, each of the preferred and further preferred substituents can be attached to the alkyl group (or alkylene, cycloalkyl and the like) via a spacer of from one to four carbon atoms, generally present as methylene or branched unsubstituted alkylene groups.

[0051] Similarly, substituents for the aryl and heteroaryl groups are varied and selected from: halogen, —OR′, —OC(O)R′, —NR′R″, —SR′, —R′, —CN, —NO2, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —C(O)R′, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR″CO2R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R′″, —NR′—SO2NR″R′″, —NH—C(NH2)═NH, —NR′C(NH2)═NH, —NH—C(NH2)═NR′, —S(O)R′, —SO2R′, —SO2NR′R″, —NR″SO2R′, —N3, —CH(Ph)2, perfluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy and perfluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences on the aromatic ring system; and where R′, R″ and R′″ are independently selected from hydrogen, (C1-C8)alkyl and heteroalkyl, unsubstituted aryl and heteroaryl, (unsubstituted aryl)-(C1-C4)alkyl and (unsubstituted aryl)oxy-(C1-C4)alkyl. When the aryl group is 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, it may be substituted with a substituted or unsubstituted (C3-C7)spirocycloalkyl group. The (C3-C7)spirocycloalkyl group may be substituted in the same manner as derined herein for “cycloalkyl”. Typically, an aryl or heteroaryl group will have from zero to three substituents, with those groups having two or fewer substituents being preferred in the present invention. In one embodiment of the invention, an aryl or heteroaryl group will be unsubstituted or monosubstituted. In another embodiment, an aryl or heteroaryl group will be unsubstituted.

[0057] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include salts of the active compounds which are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the free acid form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the free base form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like (see, for example, Berge, S. M., et al, “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic finctionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.

[0058] The neutral forms of the compounds may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention.

[0059] In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.

[0060] It is to be understood that when a compound of the invention contains one or more asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds, the present invention includes individual stereoisomers and geometric isomers as well as mixtures thereof. For example, when m is 1 and W2 is substituted cyclo(C3-C8)alkyl (e.g., A.4 below), the 1,4-cis and trans isomers and racemates thereof are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

[0061] Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0062] The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.

[0097] Thomore preferred compounds of the present invention are those that are provided in the examples below and further exemplified in Tables 1-10.

[0098] In one particularly preferred group of embodiments, the compounds are selected from:

[0099] Compounds of the present invention can be prepared beginning with commercially available starting materials and using general synthetic techniques known to those of skill in the art. Outlined below are reaction schemes suitable for preparing such compounds. Further exemplification is found in the specific Examples provided.

[0100] As shown in Scheme 1, compounds of the present invention wherein X is N, Y is N and Z is O, can be prepared from a suitably substituted pyrimidine (ii) and a substituted ketone (i) wherein LG indicates a leaving group such as a halogen atom, toluenesulfonate, methanesulfonate or trifluoromethanesulfonate. Condensation of i and ii in an organic solvent or mixture of solvents (including aqueous mixtures) in the presence or absence of an acid (e.g., HCl) or base (e.g., NaHCO3) provides, after workup, a compound of formula iii. Reduction of iii with a reducing agent such as, for example, sodium borohydride, lithium borohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride, provides still other compounds of the present invention, illustrated as iv in Scheme 2.

[0101] Schemes 3a-3i illustrate a number of methods for the preparation of intermediate compounds of general structure i. In Scheme 3a, a benzene derivative, such as 4-phenyl-cyclohexanone (v), is functionalized to introduce a desired substituent on the cyclohexane ring. In the example shown, a Horner-Emmons or similar Wittig reaction is used to introduce an α,β-unsaturated ester group, producing vi (e.g., reaction with a suitable phosphonate in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as DMF or THF). Catalytic hydrogenation of vi using, for example, a palladium or platinum catalyst in a relatively polar solvent such as THF, methanol, or an aqueous mixture containing an alcohol or THF as a co-solvent, for example, is used to reduce the double bond, producing compound vii. A Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction is then used to attach a haloacetyl group on the phenyl ring of vii, forming the functionalized acetophenone (ix). Preferably, the leaving group in this sequence is Cl or Br. Suitable Lewis acids for the acylation include, for example, AlCl3, AlBr3, BCl3, TiCl4, and the like; suitable solvents are well known in the art, and include CS2, nitrobenzene, dichloromethane, and similar solvents that are unreactive toward the reagents and Lewis acids employed. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that other synthesis methods are also known for making such intermediates, such as, for example, acylation of a metalated aromatic species, such as an aryllithium or aryl Grignard reagent, with, for example, an acylating agent such as an N-methyl-N-methoxy amide (commonly referred to as a Weinreb amide) of a chloroacetic acid derivative (see, e.g., Nahm and Weinreb (1981) Tetrahedron Lett. 22:3815-3818) or a suitable acylester. Such methods provide access to other isomers of these functionalized acetophenone derivatives.

[0102] Alternatively, vii may be alkylated by treatment with a base such as lithium diisopropylamide or lithium hexamethyldisilazide in a suitable solvent such as THF, followed by reaction with an alkylating agent, such as an alkyl halide, alkyl methanesulfonate, alkyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or alkyl toluenesulfonate, to give intermediate x (Scheme 3b). If desired, the sequence may be repeated to give intermediates of the general formula xi. Acylation of xi can be accomplished as described above to give xii.

[0103] Similar approaches can be used to produce other functionalized acetophenone derivatives (see Scheme 3c). For example, 4-phenylcyclohexanone (v) can be converted into an aldehyde in two steps, using a Wittig reaction with methoxymethyltriphenylphosphorane in a suitable solvent such as THF, DME or dioxane to produce xiv, for example, followed by mildly acidic hydrolysis. This aldehyde can be homologated into an α,β-unsaturated ester by a Wittig reaction with (carbomethoxy)methylenetriphenylphosphorane in a suitable solvent. If desired, the double bond can be reduced via catalytic hydrogenation using palladium on carbon, for example, to produce xv. Suitable solvents for such hydrogenation reactions include ethanol or ethyl acetate. Acylation of xv to produce a functionalized acetophenone derivative (xvi) can be accomplished as described above for acylation of vii.

[0104] Scheme 3d illustrates the synthesis of another functionalized acetophenone derivatives of general formula i, suitable for synthesizing compounds of the present invention.

[0105] In Scheme 3d, a phenyl group is introduced using, for example, phenyl Grignard reagent or phenyllithium to provide xiii. The carboxylic acid functional group can be esterified under standard conditions to produce xix, and dehydration can be accomplished using an acid catalyst such as acetic acid, hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid in a suitable solvent such as chloroform or toluene to produce xx. Reduction of the cyclohexene double bond can be performed under catalytic hydrogenation conditions using palladium, typically, as the catalyst, to provide xxi. This reduction produces a mixture of isomers (both cis and trans-disubstituted cyclohexanes are produced); if desired, these can be separated or equilibrated using a base such as alkoxide or DBU in methanol or toluene to produce primarily the more thermodynamically stable trans-disubstituted isomer. Acylation of xxi to produce the functionalized acetophenone xxii is performed as described above.

[0106] Compounds of the present invention that contain a heterocyclic ring for W2 can be synthesized by a similar sequence, provided the heterocyclic ring is stable to the acylation reaction conditions. For example, a compound where W2 is an acylated piperidine can be synthesized in this manner, using a functionalized acetophenone derivative such as that produced by the sequence shown in Scheme 3e. In this sequence, 4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidine (xxiii) is alkylated, sulfonylated or acylated on nitrogen using reagents and conditions known to the skilled artisan (e.g., acylation with diethyl oxalate or ethyl oxalyl chloride in the presence of a mild base such as triethylamine or pyridine) to produce xxiv. The N-functionalized (e.g., N-acylated) compound is then dehydrated and reduced catalytically as described above in Scheme 3d to produce a 4-phenylpiperidine oxalate amide (xxv). This compound is then acylated as described above to produce the corresponding functionalized acetophenone derivatives (xxvi).

[0107] Similarly, the phenylpiperazine xxvii can be alkylated, sulfonylated, or acylated on nitrogen to give the N-functionalized compound xxviii, which can in turn be acylated as described previously to produce the functionalized acetophenone derivative xxix.

[0108] Other compounds of the present invention having a heterocycle as W2 can be produced by attaching the heterocyclic group on an acetophenone, then halogenating the acetophenone at the a carbon to produce a compound of general formula i, as shown in Scheme 3g. In this sequence, a 4-fluoroacetophenone compound (xxiv) is synthesized by acylation of fluorobenzene under typical Friedel-Crafts conditions as described above. The 4-fluoro group is then subject to aromatic nucleophilic displacement reactions; in the scheme, it is displaced by a substituted piperidine group by reaction with the nucleophilic piperidine in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMSO or DMF. Functionalization of the carbon atom bearing R3 and R4 to produce xxvi can be accomplished using for example, bromine (Br2) or chlorine (Cl2) in a polar solvent such as DME or ethyl acetate, in the presence of an acid catalyst such as acetic acid or hydrobromic acid.

[0109] Certain functionalized acetophenone derivatives suitable for the preparation of compounds of the present invention where L1 is a bond can be prepared from substituted acetophenone, especially when R3 and R4 are identical groups, as shown in Scheme 3h. For example, an acetophenone substituted with —L2—W2 (xxxiii) can be alkylated with an alkylating agent such as methyl iodide, ethyl bromide, or other similar alkylating agent in the presence of a base such as lithium diisopropylamide, lithium hexamethyldisilazide or sodium hydride, and using a solvent such as DMF, DME, THF or toluene. This produces an acetophenone where R3 and R4 are the same. This acetophenone can then be halogenated as described above in Scheme 3g to produce a functionalized acetophenone of general formula i, which will condense with substituted pyrimidines as shown in Scheme 1 to prepare compounds of the present invention.

[0110] The preparation of compounds of the invention that contain a heterocyclic ring for W1 can be synthesized using similar procedures, as outlined in Scheme 3g. For example, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle xxxvi such as a furan, thiophene, pyrrole, oxazole, thiazole, imidazole or thiadiazole can be lithiated with, for example butyllithium or lithium diisopropyamide in a suitable solvent such as THF, DME or dioxane. The metalated species may be reacted with, for example, an amide, such as an dimethylamide or an N-methyl-N-methoxyamide to produce the acylated heterocycle xxxvii, which in turn can be halogenated as described above to produce a functionalized acetophenone derivative of general formula xxxviii. In a similar sequence, a substituted or unsubstituted benzofuran, benzothiophene, benzopyrrole, benzoxazole, benzothiazole, benzimidazole or benzothiadiazole (xxxix) can be lithiated and acylated to give xl, which in turn can be halogenated as previously described. One of skill in the art will appreciate that other heterocycles can also be used in these transformations.

[0111] As shown in Scheme 4, compounds of general formula iv having a substituted phenyl ring as W1 and a substituted cyclohexane ring as L2-W2 (e.g., xlii) can be prepared from these substituted acetophenone derivatives like ix.

[0112] Compounds such as xlii can be used to make other compounds of the present invention by, for example, hydrolysis of the ethyl ester to provide a carboxylic acid compound xliii. (Scheme 5) Ester hydrolysis can be accomplished in most solvents that will dissolve xlii and are at least partially miscible with water, by treating a solution of xlii with aqueous base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, for example. The carboxylic acid can, in turn, be converted into other groups such as an amide by methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the carboxylic acid can be activated by condensation with a variety of coupling reagents, including hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu), for example, using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or a similar carbodiimide reagent or a wide variety of reagents such as those developed for formation of peptide bonds. Conditions for such reactions are well known to those or ordinary skill in the art. The activated intermediate, an ester of HOBt or HOSu, for example, can then be condensed with a wide variety of nucleophiles such as, for example, amines, alcohols, and thiols. Scheme 5 shows the conversion of a compound of formula xlii into an amide (xliv) by this sequence, using ammonia as the nucleophile.

[0113] Dehydration of the amide xliv to a nitrite (xlv) can be accomplished by a variety of methods. See Scheme 5 above. Phosphorous pentoxide is the most common dehydrating reagent for this reaction, but many others are known to those skilled in the art. The nitrite can, in turn, be converted into other groups such as a tetrazole (xlvi) by methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, reacting the nitrite with an azide, such as sodium azide, lithium azide or hydrazoic acid in a solvent such as DMF or water will accomplish this transformation.

[0114] Schemes 6a and 6b illustrate one approach to the preparation of compounds of formula I in which W1 is a phenylene moiety having an additional substituents other than the L2-W2 component. As seen in Scheme 6a, intermediate bromoacetophenones xlvii can be nitrated under standard conditions (nitric acid, sulfuric acid in solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride, acetic acid, or neat) to provide xlviii. Reduction of the nitro group is accompanied by debromination to provide xlix using catalytic hydrogentation or SnCl2 (generally in alcoholic solvents). Chloride replacement of the amino group is accomplished using copper chloride in the presence of a suitable nitrite (e.g., t-butyl nitrite, sodium nitrite) and solvent, to provide intermediates such as l. Bromine can be reintroduced, providing li using standard brominating conditions (e.g., HBr/HOAc, Br2/N-bromosuccinimide or CuBr2). Alternatively, xlvii can be chlorinated directly to provide li using standard reagents (e.g., sulfuryl chloride, Cl2 or N-chlorosuccinimide) and conditions known to one of skill in the art.

[0115] Scheme 6b illustrates the elaboration of intermediates such as xlix to other substituted compounds. For example, compounds of formula lii (wherein X10 is F) can be produced from xlix using fluorinating reagents such as nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate, DAST, HF or CsF (generally in solvents such as toluene, benzene, methylene chloride or dichloroethane). Subsequent bromination of lii to produce liii can be accomplished according to known methods. Conversion of either li or liii to target compounds of the formula liv is accomplished via condensation with a suitably substituted pyrimidine (see Example 1).

[0116] As shown in Scheme 7, compounds of the present invention wherein X is N, Y is CH, Z is O and W1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heteroaryl can be prepared from a suitably substituted pyrimidine lv (where A is a halogen, e.g., Br, I or a triflate or other suitable substituent known to those skilled in the art) and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heteroaryl species lvi (where M is B(OR2), Sn(R3) or other suitable metal known to those skilled in the art) by, for example, a palladium catalyzed cross coupling reaction. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that A and M may be interchanged.

[0117] Scheme 8 illustrates a method for the preparation of the intermediate of general structure lv. Condensation of pyrimidine lviii with lvii in a suitable solvent such as acetic acid affords lix. Conversion of the hydroxy moiety to a leaving group, for example, a chloride or bromide with, for example, phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus oxybromide respectively, is followed by displacement of the leaving group with a suitably substituted amine to afford lv.

[0118] Compositions

[0119] In another aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for modulating DGAT activity in humans and animals that will typically contain a compound of formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

[0120] The pharmaceutical compositions for the administration of the compounds of this invention may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition the active object compound is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases.

[0121] The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with other non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated by the techniques described in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,256,108; 4,166,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.

[0122] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

[0123] Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.

[0124] Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.

[0125] Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.

[0126] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.

[0127] Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents.

[0128] The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

[0129] The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.

[0130] For topical use, patches, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of the present invention are employed. As used herein, topical application is also meant to include the use of mouth washes and gargles.

[0131] The pharmaceutical composition and method of the present invention may further comprise other therapeutically active compounds as noted herein which are usually applied in the treatment of the above-mentioned pathological conditions.

[0132] Methods of Use

[0133] In yet another aspect, the present invention provides methods of using a compound or composition of the invention to treat or prevent a disease or condition associated with DGAT. Diseases and conditions associated with lipid metabolism and cell proliferation, and complications thereof, can be treated with the subject compounds and compositions. In one group of embodiments, diseases and conditions, including chronic diseases, of humans or other species that can be treated with inhibitors of DGAT function include, but are not limited to, metabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, cachexia, syndrome X, insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, mixed dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, acute heart failure, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, hypertension, hypotension, stroke, ischemia, ischemic reperfusion injury, aneurysm, restenosis and vascular stenosis; neoplastic diseases, such as solid tumors, skin cancer, melanoma, lymphoma and endothelial cancers, e.g., breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., esophageal cancer and pancreatic cancer), prostate cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, testicular cancer and ovarian cancer; and other diseases and conditions that are sensitive or responsive to modulation of DGAT function.

[0134] The methods of the present invention typically involve administering to a subject in need of therapeutic treatment, an effective amount of a compound of formula (I). The dose, frequency and timing of such administering will depend in large part on the selected therapeutic agent, the nature of the condition being treated, the condition of the subject including age, weight and presence of other conditions or disorders, the formulation being administered and the discretion of the attending physician. Preferably, the compositions and compounds of the invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are administered via oral, parenteral or topical routes. Generally, the compounds are administered in dosages ranging from about 2 mg up to about 2,000 mg per day, although variations will necessarily occur depending, as noted above, on the disease target, the patient, and the route of administration. Preferred dosages are administered orally in the range of about 0.05 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg, more preferably in the range of about 0.05 mg/kg to about 2 mg/kg, most preferably in the range of about 0.05 mg/kg to about 0.2 mg per kg of body weight per day. The dosage employed for the topical administration will, of course, depend on the size of the area being treated.

[0135] Combination Therapy with Additional Active Agents

[0136] The present invention further provides methods of using a compound or composition of the invention in combination with one or more additional active agents, depending on the desired target therapy (see, e.g., Turner, N. et al. Prog. Drug Res. (1998) 51: 33-94; Haffner, S. Diabetes Care (1998) 21: 160-178; and DeFronzo, R. et al. (eds.), Diabetes Reviews (1997) Vol. 5 No. 4). A number of studies have investigated the benefits of combination therapies with oral agents (see, e.g., Mahler, R., J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. (1999) 84: 1165-71; United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Group: UKPDS 28, Diabetes Care (1998) 21: 87-92; Bardin, C. W.,(ed.), CURRENT THERAPY IN ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM, 6th Edition (Mosby-Year Book, Inc., St. Louis, Mo. 1997); Chiasson, J. et al., Ann. Intern. Med. (1994) 121: 928-935; Coniff, R. et al., Clin. Ther. (1997) 19: 16-26; Coniff, R. et al., Am. J. Med. (1995) 98: 443-451; and Iwamoto, Y. et al., Diabet. Med. (1996) 13 365-370; Kwiterovich, P. Am. J. Cardiol (1998) 82 (12A): 3U-17U).

[0137] In particular, the studies provided above indicate that diabetes and hyperlipidemia modulation can be further improved in many instances by the addition of a second agent to the therapeutic regimen. Combination therapy includes administration of a single pharmaceutical dosage formulation which contains a compound having the general structure of formula I and one or more additional active agents, as well as administration of a compound of formula I and each active agent in its own separate pharmaceutical dosage formulation. For example, a compound of formula I and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor can be administered to the human subject together in a single oral dosage composition, such as a tablet or capsule, or each agent can be administered in separate oral dosage formulations. Where separate dosage formulations are used, a compound of formula I and one or more additional active agents can be administered at essentially the same time (i.e., concurrently), or at separately staggered times (i.e., sequentially). Combination therapy is understood to include all these regimens.

[0138] An example of combination therapy that modulates (prevents the onset of the symptoms or complications associated with) atherosclerosis involves administering a compound of formula I in combination with one or more of the following active agents: an antihyperlipidemic agent; a plasma HDL-raising agent; an antihypercholesterolemic agent, such as a cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor, e.g., an hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG) CoA reductase inhibitor (also referred to as statins, such as lovastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin, and atorvastatin), an HMG-CoA synthase inhibitor, a squalene epoxidase inhibitor, or a squalene synthetase inhibitor (also known as squalene synthase inhibitor); an acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor, such as melinamide; probucol; nicotinic acid and the salts thereof and niacinamide; a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, such as β-sitosterol; a bile acid sequestrant anion exchange resin, such as cholestyramine, colestipol or dialkylaminoalkyl derivatives of a cross-linked dextran; an LDL (low density lipoprotein) receptor inducer; fibrates, such as clofibrate, bezafibrate, fenofibrate, and gemfibrizol; vitamin B6 (also known as pyridoxine) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, such as the HCl salt; vitamin B12 (also known as cyanocobalamin); vitamin B3 (also known as nicotinic acid and niacinamide, supra); anti-oxidant vitamins, such as vitamin C and E and beta carotene; a beta-blocker; an angiotensin II antagonist; an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; and a platelet aggregation inhibitor, such as fibrinogen receptor antagonists (i.e., glycoprotein IIb/IIIa fibrinogen receptor antagonists) and aspirin. As noted above, the compounds of formula I can be administered in combination with more than one additional active agent, for example, a combination of a compound of formula I with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (e.g., lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin) and aspirin, or a compound of formula I with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and a β blocker.

[0139] Another example of combination therapy can be seen in treating obesity or obesity-related disorders, wherein the compounds of formula I can be effectively used in combination with, for example, phenylpropanolamine, phentermine, diethylpropion, mazindol; fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine, phentiramine, β3 adrenoceptor agonist agents; sibutramine, gastrointestinal lipase inhibitors (such as orlistat), and leptins.

[0236]

[0237] Steps (A), (B) and (C). Into a flame-dried 1L 3-necked round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a reflux condenser and an addition funnel was placed magnesium turnings (1.1 equiv., 8.8 g) and diethyl ether (60 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. A diethyl ether solution of 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane (322.4 mmol, 65.5 g) was added via addition funnel at such a rate that a gentle reflux was maintained throughout the addition, about 1 h 10 min. A few particles of iodine were introduced at the beginning of the addition to initiate the reaction. Upon completion of the addition of the bromide, the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 1 h, allowed to cool to room temperature and further cooled in an ice bath. A solution of 1,4-cyclohexanedione monoethylene ketal (1 equiv., 51.91 g) in THF (100 mL) was slowly added to the ice-cooled mixture via addition funnel with stirring over 1 h 30 min. The mixture was continuously stirred for 30 min. in the ice bath and overnight at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was pre-cooled in an ice bath and mixture of ice and 4N aqueous HCl was added. The mixture was stirred until magnesium all dissolved, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether (2×). The combined organics were washed with brine to neutral, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken onto the next step, in which it was hydrolyzed in a refluxing mixture with MeOH (400 mL) and 3 N aqueous H2SO4 (100 mL) for 6 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated in vacuo, diluted with ice water and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organics were washed with brine (2×), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (EtOAc/hexanes, 35/65) of the residue provided the desired hydroxyketone 64 (30 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.45 (br s, 1H), 1.59-1.63 (m, 2H), 1.73-1.83 (m, 4H), 1.93-1.97 (m, 2H), 2.20-2.28 (m, 2H), 2.65-2.76 (m, 4H), 7.19-7.24 (m, 3H), 7.28-7.33 (m, 2H). Mass Spectrum (CI+) m/e=215.1 (M+1).

[0238] Step (D). To a flame-dried single-necked round bottom flask in an ice bath was placed NaH (a 60% dispersion in mineral oil) (1 equiv., 0.66 g) and subsequently charged with THF (20 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this was dropwise added trimethyl phosphonoacetate (1 equiv., 2.89 g/2.75 mL) via syringe. When hydrogen evolution appeared complete, a solution of hydroxyketone 64 (15.5 mmol, 3.33 g) in THF (40 mL) was slowly introduced via addition funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl followed by water and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organics were washed with brine (2×), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography of the residue (EtOAc/hexanes, 30/70) provided the desired hydroxyacrylate (3.5 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.16 (s, 1H), 1.29 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.51-1.61 (m, 4H), 1.70-1.80 (m, 4H), 2.10-2.14 (m, 1H), 2.43-2.59 (m, 2H), 2.65 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 3.46-3.50 (m, 1H), 4.16 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 5.65 (s, 1H), 7.19-7.22 (m, 3H), 7.28-7.32 (m, 2H).

[0239] Step (E). The hydroxyacrylate (15.5 mmol) obtained above was hydrogenated over palladium (10% on charcoal) (10 mol %) in EtOAc (60 mL) using hydrogen gas at an atmospheric pressure over 10 h. The Pd/C was filtered off by a layer of celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The product contained a mixture of two conformers (ratio 3:1) of the desired tertiary hydroxyl ester 65, which were separated by column chromatography (EtOAc/hexanes, 20/80) and characterized by the following spectral data. In practice, the conformeric mixture was further elaborated without separation. 1H NMR (major conformer, CDCl3) δ 1.06 (s, 1H), 1.27 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.33-1.42 (m, 4H), 1.46-1.51 (m, 2H), 1.55-1.66 (m, 4H), 1.68-1.76 (m, 3H), 2.23 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.63 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 4.14 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.18-7.23 (m, 3H), 7.28-7.32 (m, 2H).

Mass Spectrum (CI+) m/e=287.1 (M+1).

[0240] Steps (F), (G) and (H). To a flame-dried 50 mL single-necked round bottom flask in an ice-salt bath was placed AlCl3 (2.5 equiv., 1.43 g) followed by dropwise addition of 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (2 equiv., 2.01 g/1.08 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred for about 5 min., and CH2Cl2 (8 mL) was introduced. After another 5 min, a CH2Cl2 (20 mL) solution of the conformeric mixture of tertiary hydroxyl ester 65 (4.3 mmol, 1.23 g) was dropwise added. The reaction mixture was continuously stirred in the ice-salt bath for 1 h. A mixture of ice and 2 N aqueous HCl was added and the mixture was stirred until all dissolved and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×). The combined organics were washed with brine (3×), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue contained mainly two acylation regioisomers in a ratio of about 4 to 1, which were cyclized with 4,5-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine hemisulfate (0.5 equiv., 0.63 g) in the presence of 2N aqueous HCl (2.2 equiv., 4 mL) in 3:1 EtOH-H2O (40 mL). The mixture was refluxed for about 12 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organics were washed with saturated aqueous NH4Cl (2×), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The product was hydrolyzed by LiOH.H2O (5 equiv., 0.73 g) in 3:1 MeOH-H2O (20 mL). Using the same workup used in the preceding cyclization step, a mixture of two major regioisomers (67) was obtained. The major isomer (1.2 g) was obtained by recrystallization (EtOAc/CH2Cl2/MeOH). The desired isomer (Ex. 8) (200 mg) was obtained by preparatory HPLC of the mother liquor. 1H NMR (CDCl3) (a single conformer, trans-) δ 1.35-1.43 (m, 2H), 1.69-1.88 (m, 16H), 1.96 (m, 1H), 2.36 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.83 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 7.34 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.42 (dd, J=8.4, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.49 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 8.16 (s, 1H).

The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and oxalyl chloride (5.58 mL, 63.91 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h and added dropwise to a separate vessel containing (S)-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone (10.81 g, 61 mmol), DMAP (7.1 g, 58.1 mmol), Et3N (20.24 mL, 145.3 mmol) and DCM (100 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to r.t. and stirred at r.t. for 12 h. Water (300 mL) was added. The organic layer was separated and washed with 1N HCl (200 mL), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (200 mL) and brine, and dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel 5-40% EtOAc in hexane; gradient elution) to provide 99a (11.48 g) as white crystals and 99b (10.75 g) as a white foam. NB: the stereochemical assignment of 99a and 99b is arbitrary.

[0278] Compound 100a. To a stirred solution of 99a (10.48 g, 26.8 mmol) in THF (400 mL) and water (125 mL) at 0° C. was added lithium hydroxide (1.28 g, 53.6 mmol) and 3% hydrogen peroxide (10.7 mL). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 75 min. and an aqueous solution of sodium sulfite (14.75 g in 80 mL of water) was added followed by 0.5 M aqueous sodium bicarbonate (270 mL). The aqueous layer was washed with DCM and acidified to pH 1 with 5N HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The ethyl acetate layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 100a (1 g) as a white solid.

Example 10

[0296] This example describes assays that may be used to identify compounds having DGAT activity.

[0297] Numerous in vitro assay systems may be used to determine the modulation of DGAT activity. Examples of such assay systems utilize insect cell over-expression systems, tissue microsome preparations and cell culture. In the insect cell over-expression and tissue microsome preparation assay systems, the system itself provides the enzyme source for activity measurements. Such measurements are generally conducted using radiolabeled substrate, wherein the radiolabeled product that is generated is subsequently resolved by thin layer chromatography (TLC) (see, e.g., Cases, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (1998) 95:13018 and Cases, et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2001) 276:38870).

[0298] By comparison, cell culture-based assay systems measure intracellular synthesis of triglyceride by incubating living cells with radiolabeled fatty acid. The radiolabeled fatty acid is utilized in triglyceride biosynthesis. Triglycerides can then be extracted from the cells using organic solvent and resolved by thin layer chromatography to determine the level of radiolabel incorporation as a measure of enzyme activity (see e.g., Cases, et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2001) 276:38870).

[0299] Cell-Based Assays

[0300] In a preferred cellular assay, human colon tumor CaCO2, human hepatoma HepG2, or mouse adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells (undifferentiated or differentiated as described below) are cultured to confluency in 24 well plates. The medium is replaced with serum-free medium and the cells incubated for a further 24-48 h. Next, medium is replaced with serum-free medium containing 400 μM oleic acid (complexed with BSA, 2:1 mole:mole) and compound at varying doses in a final volume of 200 μL per well. Cells are incubated for 30 min. before adding 0.1 μCi of 14C oleic acid directly to the cells and the incubation continued for 10-30 min. depending on the cell type. Cells are washed two times with 1 mL PBS and air dried at 37° C. for 10 min. Cell lipids are extracted with 0.5 mL hexane:isopropyl alcohol (3:2 v/v) for 5 min. twice. Lipid extracts are evaporated to dryness and used for TLC using hexane:ethyl ether:acetic acid (80:20:1 v/v) as solvent. The radioactive bands are visualized and quantified by exposure to X-ray film or phosphorimager screen.

[0301] 3T3-L1 cell differentiation into adipocytes is induced by incubating confluent cells in medium containing 10% serum, insulin (10 μg/mL), dexamethasone (1 μM), isobutylmethyl xanthine (IBMX, 0.5 mM), and tri-iodothyronine (T3, 10 nM). After 2 days, cells are maintained in serum, insulin, T3, and BRL49653 (1 μM) containing medium for 4-10 days.

[0302] Biochemical Assays

[0303] A preferred assay that may be used for identifying DGAT inhibitors involves a high throughput screening Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA). In such an assay human DGAT1 is cloned from a human liver cDNA library. PCR is used to add a restriction site and flag epitope at the most 5′ end and a restriction site at the 3′ end of the sequence. Thereafter, human flagtag (FT) DGAT1 baculovirus may be generated using a Bac-to-Bac Baculovirus Expression System® (Invitrogen). Insect cells (e.g., sf9, sf2 1, or High Five) are infected for 24 to 72 h and collected by centrifugation. Cell pellets are resuspended in homogenization buffer and lysed using a homogenization device, such as a Microfluidizer. Total cell membranes are collected by ultracentrifugation at 45,000 rpm for 1 h.

[0304] A small aliquot (0.2 μg/well) of membrane is incubated with 10 μM compound or mercuric chloride (as positive control for inhibition) in the presence of enzyme substrate, dioleoyl glycerol (200 μM) in 384 well plates, final volume 50 gL per well. The reaction is started by the addition of radioactive substrate, 14C acyl coenzyme A (25 μM, such as decanoyl CoA, palmitoyl CoA, oleoyl CoA), and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction is stopped by adding Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) SPA beads (0.2 mg) in mercuric chloride. Cell membranes are allowed to couple to the beads overnight. The signal can be measured using, for example, a Chemiluminescence Image Plate Reader (CLIPR) or TopCount device.

[0305] Compounds of the present invention assessed by the above-described assay were found to have DGAT-inhibiting activity. See Table 11 below.
