The following specification particularly describes the nature of the invention and the manner in which it has to be performed;
The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic derivatives of the general formula (I), their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and their pharmaceutical compositions. The present invention more particularly provides novel compounds of the general formula (I).
The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the above said novel compounds and compositions containing them.
The compounds of the present invention are effective in lowering blood glucose, serum insulin, free fatty acids, cholesterol, triglyceride levels and are useful in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of type II diabetes. These compounds are effective in the treatment of obesity, inflammation, autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Surprisingly, these compounds increase the leptin level and have no liver toxicity.
Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment of disorders associated with insulin resistance, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease.
The causes of type I and II diabetes are not yet clear, although both genetics and environment seem to be the factors. Type I diabetes is an autonomic immune disease and the patient must take insulin to survive. Type II diabetes is the more common form, it is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make a sufficient amount of insulin or to properly use the insulin that is produced. Insulin secretion and insulin resistance are considered to be the major defects, however, the precise genetic factors involved in the mechanism remain unknown.
Patients with diabetes usually have one or more of the following defects:
Other than the parenteral or subcutaneous administration of insulin, there are about 4 classes of oral hypoglycemic agents used i.e. sulfonylurea, biguanides, alpha glucosidase inhibitors and thiazolidinediones. Each of the current agents available for use in the treatment of diabetes has certain disadvantages. Accordingly, there is a continuing interest in the identification and development of new agents, which can be orally administered, for use in the treatment of diabetes.
The thiazolidinedione class listed above has gained more widespread use in the recent years for the treatment of type II diabetes, exhibiting particular usefulness as insulin sensitizers to combat “insulin resistance”, a condition in which the patient becomes less responsive to the effects of insulin. However, there is a continuing need for nontoxic, more widely effective insulin sensitizers. In our continuous efforts to explore new compounds having antidiabetic activity, we propose to synthesize new compounds containing heterocyclic rings namely the substituted pyridine ring.

3T3-L1 cells were differentiated by the addition of differentiation cocktail (72 μg/ml insulin, 0.5 mM IBMX, 400 ng/ml Dexamethasone) for 4 days and were later fed with media without the differentation cocktail for 7-8 days. After differentiation the cells were incubated with the either the reference compound BLX-1002 or with the compounds listed in the table 1 at 1 μM concentrations for 72 hours, and the glucose uptake assay was carried out for 10 minutes by the addition of KRP buffer supplemented with 2.5 μCi/ml 14C deoxy glucose. Stimulation Index is defined as the amount of 14C Deoxyglucose uptake induced by 1 μM of BLX-1002 incubated for 72 hours in an assay condition as per the protocol described above with differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The values for compounds mentioned in table-1 are with reference to the stimulation index of reference compound BLX-1002.
Female Swiss albino mice, at the age of 10 weeks were used in the study. Diabetes was induced in the animals by injecting streptozotocin by i.p. route at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. 48 hours after streptozotocin administration, the animals were kept fasting for 6 hours. Subsequently blood was collected, plasma separated and the glucose was estimated. Animals showing greater than 200 mg/dl glucose levels were considered as diabetic and these animals were randomly distributed into various groups. The example 2 listed in the table 2 was administered at a dose of 50-mg/kg body weight by oral route for 7 days. Later the animals were fasted for 6 hours, the blood was collected and the plasma was separated. Biochemical estimations like glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides were carried out using the plasma. The effect of the compounds mentioned in the table was expressed in terms of percentage reduction in biochemical values as compared to the control group. The results are as shown in the table 2.
