Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel cyclic imidazole derivatives useful as medicines. More particularly, it relates to novel cyclic imidazole derivatives effective as a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor. Furthermore, it relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of diabetes containing a novel cyclic imidazole derivative effective as a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor, as an active ingredient.


BACKGROUND ART

DPP-IV is a serine protease widely present in the body, is one of dipeptidyl aminopeptidases capable of hydrolyzing and releasing a N-terminal dipeptide, and markedly acts on, in particular, peptides containing proline as the second amino acid from the N-terminal. Therefore, DPP-IV is referred to also prolyl endopeptidase. DPP-IV is known to accept, as substrates, various biological peptides concerned in the endocrine system, the neuroendocrine system, immune functions and the like. It is known that many physiologically active peptides such as the pancreatic polypeptide family represented by pancreatic polypeptides (PP), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the like; the glucagon/VIP family represented by vasoactive intestinal polypeptides (VIP), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptides (GIP), growth hormone release accelerating factor (GRF) and the like; and the chemocaine family are substrates for DPP-IV and feel the influences of DPP-IV, such as activation/inactivation, metabolism acceleration and the like (J. Langner and S. Ansorge, “Cellular Peptidases in Immune Functions and Disease 2”, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology Vol. 477).


DPP-IV severs two amino acids (His-Ala) from the N-terminal of GLP-1. It is known that although the severed peptide binds weekly to a GLP-1 receptor, it has no activating effect on the receptor and acts as an antagonist (L. B. Knudsen et al., European Journal of Pharmacology, Vol. 318, p429-435, 1996). The metabolism of GLP-1 by DPP-IV in blood is known to be very rapid, and the concentration of active GLP-1 in blood is increased by the inhibition of DPP-IV (T. J. Kieffer et al., Endocrinology, Vol. 136, p3585-3596, 1995). GLP-1 is a peptide secreted from intestinal tract by the ingestion of sugars and is a main accelerating factor for the glucose-responsive secretion of insulin by pancreas. In addition, GLP-1 is known to have accelerating effect on insulin synthesis in pancreatic β cells and accelerating effect on β cell proliferation. Moreover, it is known that GLP-1 receptors appear also in digestive tracts, liver, muscle, adipose tissue and the like, and it is also known that in these tissues, GLP-1 affects working of digestive tracts, the secretion of acid in stomach, the synthesis and degradation of glycogen, insulin-dependent glucose uptake, and the like. Accordingly, there is expected the development of a DPP-IV inhibitor effective against type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) which brings about effects such as the acceleration of insulin secretion dependent on blood sugar level, the improvement of pancreas function, the improvement of a high postprandial blood sugar level, the improvement of glucose tolerance abnormality, the improvement of insulin resistance, and the like, by increasing the concentration of GLP-1 in blood (R. A. Pederson et al., Diabetes Vol. 47, p1253-1258, 1998).


Various DPP-IV inhibitors have been reported. For example, International Publication No. WO02/02560 pamphlet reports that xanthine derivatives having a piperazine ring or the like are effective as a DPP-IV inhibitor. International Publication No. WO02/068420 pamphlet and International Publication No. WO03/004496 pamphlet report that xanthine derivatives having a piperidine ring or the like are effective as a DPP-IV inhibitor. International Publication No. WO03/024965 pamphlet reports that xanthine derivatives containing a 2-aminocyclohexylamino group are effective as a DPP-IV inhibitor. International Publication No. WO02/024698 pamphlet reports that xanthine derivatives are effective as a phosphodiesterase V inhibitor.

In each of the production processes described above, when the starting compound in each reaction has a reactive group such as hydroxyl group, amino group or carboxyl group, the reactive group in a site other than a site where the reaction is desired is previously protected with a suitable protective group if necessary, and the protective group is removed after carrying out each reaction or after carrying out several reactions, whereby a desired compound may be obtained. As the protective group for protecting the hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group or the like, conventional protective groups used in the field of organic synthetic chemistry may be used. The introduction and removal of such a protective group may be carried out according to a conventional method (for example, the method described in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” 2nd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1991)).


For example, the protective group for the hydroxyl group includes tert-butyldimethylsilyl group, methoxymethyl group, tetrahydropyranyl group and the like.

Such a protective group for the hydroxyl group may be removed by reaction in a solvent such as aqueous methanol, aqueous ethanol or aqueous tetrahydrofuran in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or acetic acid. In the case of tert-butyldimethylsilyl group, it is also possible to carry out the removal in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran in the presence of, for example, tetrabutylammonium fluoride. In the case of tert-butoxycarbonyl group, the protective group for the amino group may be removed, for example, by reaction in a solvent such as aqueous tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, chloroform or aqueous methanol in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid. In the case of benzyloxycarbonyl group, the removal may be carried out, for example, by reaction in a solvent such as acetic acid in the presence of an acid such as hydrobromic acid.


As a form in which the carboxyl group is protected, tert-butyl esters, orthoesters and acid amides are exemplified. Such a protective group is removed as follows. In the case of the tert-butyl esters, the removal is carried out, for example, by reaction in an aqueous solvent in the presence of hydrochloric acid. In the case of the orthoesters, the removal is carried out, for example, by treatment with an acid and then an alkali such as sodium hydroxide in a solvent such as aqueous methanol, aqueous tetrahydrofuran or aqueous 1,2-dimethoxyethane. In the case of the acid amides, the removal may be carried out, for example, by reaction in a solvent such as water, aqueous methanol or aqueous tetrahydrofuran in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.

Preferably, diastereomers are formed from the racemic modification by a reaction using a reagent for optical resolution. The diastereomers different in form may be resolved by a well-known method such as fractional crystallization.


The compound of the present invention or the prodrug thereof may be converted to a salt, for example, by mixing with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid in a solvent such as water, methanol, ethanol or acetone.

The concomitant drugs are preferably GLP-1, GLP-1 analogs, α-glucosidase inhibitors, biguanide preparations, insulin secretion accelerators, insulin resistance improving agents, and the like. The above-exemplified concomitant drugs may be used in combination of two or more thereof in proper proportions.


When the compound is used in combination with the concomitant drug(s), the amount of the drug(s) used may be reduced so as to be within a safe range in view of the side effects of the drug(s). In particular, the dose of the biguanide preparations may be reduced as compared with a conventional dose. Therefore, side effects causable by these drugs are safely preventable. In addition, the doses of the remedies for diabetic complications, antilipemics, hypotensors and the like may be reduced. As a result, side effects causable by these drugs are effectively preventable.

Test Examples

In Vitro DPP-IV Inhibitory Effect Measurement Test (1)


Bovine plasma containing DPP-IV enzyme was diluted with assay buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 140 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl, pH=7.9) and 50 μL of the dilution was added to a micro assay plate. After 1 μL of a solution of each compound was added, mixing was conducted, followed by incubation at room temperature. A substrate (Glycyl-L-Proline 4-Methyl-Coumaryl-7-Amide, Peptide Laboratories Co., Ltd.) was diluted to 0.2 mM with the assay buffer, and 50 μL of this solution was added and then stirred, followed by incubation at room temperature. Thereafter, the reaction was terminated by the addition of 100 μL of a 25% aqueous acetic acid solution. The intensity of fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm and a measuring wavelength of 460 nm was measured by the use of a fluorescent plate reader. The difference in intensity of fluorescence between a background well in which the reaction had been terminated by previously adding a 25% aqueous acetic acid solution before the addition of the substrate solution and a control well to which no compound had been added was taken as 100%. The intensity of fluorescence of a well containing the compound was interpolated and the residual enzyme activity in the case of the addition of the compound was calculated as a relative value. A compound concentration for 50% inhibition of the enzyme activity was calculated as an IC50 value from relative residual enzyme activity values obtained by adding each compound to a plurality of concentrations.
