The present application claims a priority right based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-25944 (filed Feb. 13, 2014), the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a heterocyclic compound that has an enteropeptidase inhibitory action and is useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of obesity, diabetes mellitus, etc., and a medicament comprising the same.
Enteropeptidase is a serine protease that converts trypsinogen, which is secreted from the pancreas after a meal, into trypsin. Trypsin in a state activated by enteropeptidase then activates protease precursors such as chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase, and proelastase. These active forms of proteases degrade dietary proteins into amino acid units, and the resulting amino acids are absorbed from the small intestine. Thus, enteropeptidase inhibitors are capable of suppressing protein degradation and absorption and are useful as therapeutic drugs for obesity.

Examples of the disease states or diseases associated with obesity include impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus (particularly, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obese diabetes mellitus), abnormal lipid metabolism (which has the same meaning as that of the hyperlipidemia mentioned above), hypertension, cardiac failure, hyperuricemia/gout, fatty liver (including non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis), coronary diseases (myocardial infarction, angina pectoris), cerebral infarction (cerebral thrombosis, transient ischemic attack), bone or joint diseases (knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, spondylosis deformans, lumbago), sleep apnea syndrome/Pickwick syndrome, menstruation disorder (disorder of menstrual cycle, abnormality of the amount of blood lost at menstrual period and menstrual cycle, amenorrhea, abnormality of menstruation-related symptoms), metabolic syndrome and the like.
The Japan Diabetes Society reported the diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus in 1999.
According to this report, diabetes mellitus refers to a state that meets any of a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 126 mg/dl or more, a 2-hr value (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 200 mg/dl or more in the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75 g OGTT), and a casual blood glucose level (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 200 mg/dl or more. Also, a state that does not apply to the above-mentioned diabetes mellitus, and is not a state exhibiting “a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration in venous plasma) less than 110 mg/dl or a 2-hr value (glucose concentration in venous plasma) less than 140 mg/dl in the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75 g OGTT)” (normal type) is called “borderline type”.
Also, the diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus were reported in 1997 by ADA (American Diabetes Association) and in 1998 by WHO (World Health Organization).
According to these reports, diabetes mellitus refers to a state that meets a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 126 mg/dl or more and a 2-hr value (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 200 mg/dl or more in the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test.
According to the above-mentioned reports of ADA and WHO, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) refers to a state that meets a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration in venous plasma) less than 126 mg/dl and a 2-hr value (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 140 mg/dl or more and less than 200 mg/dl in the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. According to the report of ADA, a state exhibiting a fasting blood glucose level (glucose concentration in venous plasma) of 110 mg/dl or more and less than 126 mg/dl is called IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose). On the other hand, according to the report of WHO, a state of IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose) exhibiting a 2-hr value (glucose concentration in venous plasma) less than 140 mg/dl in the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test is called IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose).
The compound of the present invention is also used as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of diabetes mellitus, borderline type diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose) and IFG (Impaired Fasting Glycemia) determined according to the above-mentioned diagnostic criteria. Moreover, the compound of the present invention can prevent progress of borderline type, impaired glucose tolerance, IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose) or IFG Impaired Fasting Glycemia) into diabetes mellitus.
The compound of the present invention has an action of suppressing body weight gain and as such, can be used as an agent for suppressing body weight gain in a mammal. The mammal to which the compound of the present invention is to be applied can be a mammal desired to avoid body weight gain and may be a mammal genetically having a risk of body weight gain or may be a mammal affected by a lifestyle-related disease such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia, etc. The body weight gain may be caused by excessive dietary intakes or nutritionally unbalanced diets or may be derived from concomitant drugs (e.g., insulin sensitizers and the like having a PPAR-gamma agonist-like action, such as troglitazone, rosiglitazone, englitazone, ciglitazone, pioglitazone and the like). Also, the body weight gain may be body weight gain before reaching obesity or may be body weight gain in an obesity patient. In this context, the obesity is defined as having BMI (body mass index: Body weight (kg)/[Height (m)]2) of 25 or more (according to the criteria of the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity (JASSO)) for Japanese or having BMI of 30 or more (according to the criteria of WHO) for Westerners.
The compound of the present invention is also useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of metabolic syndrome. The incidence of cardiovascular disease is significantly high in metabolic syndrome patients, compared with patients with a single lifestyle-related disease. Thus, the prophylaxis or treatment of metabolic syndrome is exceedingly important for preventing cardiovascular disease.
The diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome were announced by WHO in 1999 and by NCEP in 2001. According to the diagnostic criteria of WHO, an individual having hyperinsulinemia or abnormal glucose tolerance as a requirement and two or more of visceral obesity, dyslipidemia (high TG or low HDL) and hypertension is diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome (World Health Organization: Definition, Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus and Its Complications. Part I: Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus, World Health Organization, Geneva, 1999). According to the diagnostic criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel III of the National Cholesterol Education Program (guideline of ischemic heart disease) in USA, an individual having three or more of visceral obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-cholesterolemia, hypertension and abnormal glucose tolerance is diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome (National Cholesterol Education Program: Executive Summary of the Third Report of National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adults Treatment Panel III).

Human recombinant enteropeptidase (#REN-260, ITSI-Biosciences, LLC) was diluted with an assay buffer (50 mM Tricine (pH 8.0), 0.01 (w/v) % Tween 20, 10 mM CaCl2) to prepare a 24 mU/mL enzyme solution. Subsequently, 5FAM-Abu-Gly-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys-Ile-Val-Gly-Gly-Lys(CPQ2)-Lys-Lys-NH2 (purity: 97.2%, CPC Scientific, Inc.) produced according to a synthesis method known per se was diluted with an assay buffer to prepare a 2.1 uM (“u” represents “micro”) substrate solution. Each test compound was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a 1 mM solution, which was then diluted 100-fold with an assay buffer to prepare a compound solution. The compound solution (5 uL/well) and the substrate solution (5 uL/well) were added to a 384-well black plate (#784076, Greiner Bio-One) and mixed. Then, the enzyme solution (5 uL/well) was added to the plate and mixed to start reaction. The fluorescence intensity was measured at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and a fluorescence wavelength of 535 nm using a fluorescence plate reader EnVision (PerkinElmer Inc.). Also, the same reaction as above was performed except that the test compound was not added (test compound non-supplemented group). In addition, the same reaction as above was performed except that neither the test compound nor the enzyme was added (control group). The inhibition rate was calculated from the fluorescence intensity 2 hours after the start of the reaction according to the following equation:
Inhibition rate (%)=(1−(Fluorescence intensity of the test compound supplemented group−Fluorescence intensity of the control group)/(Fluorescence intensity of the test compound non-supplemented group−Fluorescence intensity of the control group))×100
