Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which shows an excellent GPR119 receptor agonistic activity and is useful as a medicament.


BACKGROUND ART

It has been reported that a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) GPR119 is highly expressed in pancreatic insulin-producing β cells and intestinal cells and is activated by a compound such as oleoylethanolamide (OEA) which belongs to a natural long-chain fatty acid amide, PSN632408 which belongs to a low-molecular synthetic ligand, etc., as well as that the activation of the receptor has caused an observation of inhibitory effects on food-intake and body weight-gain in high-fat diet fed rats (Nonpatent Document 1).


Further, recent studies of physiological roles of GPR119 using a selective low-molecular agonist (AR231453) of the following formula has revealed that glucose-dependent insulin release is enhanced in pancreatic cells via cAMP increases (adenylate cyclase activation) by the activation of the receptor, and glucose homeostasis may be improved thereby (Nonpatent Document 2).

Additionally, it has been believed that the receptor modulates glucose homeostasis via enhancement of release of incretins (glucagon-like peptide-1/GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide/GIP) which are so-called endogenous antidiabetic hormone (Nonpatent Document 3). Furthermore, low-molecular GPR119 agonists may be expected to have direct and/or indirect pancreatic protective effects (antiapoptotic effects and/or growth-stimulating effects on islet cells) via incretin hormones. In view of the above knowledge, GPR119 has been focused as an attractive therapeutic target on metabolic diseases including diabetes and obesity.


Currently, bipiperidinyl compound (Patent Document 1), 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxypiperidine compound (Patent Document 2), 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy-1-piperidine compound, 2,3-dihydro-1-indol-4-yloxy-1-piperidine compound (Patent Document 3), 4-(benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-4(3H)-yl)piperidine compound (Patent Document 4), [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyrimidine (Patent Document 5), etc. have been known as a GPR119 agonist except for the above OEA, PSN632408 and AR231453, but it has not been reported yet that pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds of the present invention have an agonistic activity against GPR119.

Experiment 1
Purpose for Experiment

The present experiment is directed to evaluate GPR119 agonistic activity (in vitro) of test compounds by adding the compounds to human GPR119-expressed CHO cells to determine cAMP production of the cells.


(Preparation of Human Gpr119-Expressed CHO Cells)

Human GPR119-expressed CHO cells (L8-18) were prepared by introducing an expression vector pMSF1-GPR119 (Geneticin-resistance) carrying human GPR119 genes into CHO cells (LM-3; Mock cells) wherein lusiferase expression vector pLG3-CRE6-CRE-VIP (Hygromycin B-resistance) were introduced according to the known method (The Journal of Biological Chemistry Vol. 274 (34), pp. 23940-23947).


(Test Method)

Cryopreserved L8-18 cells were melted, and then suspended into 9-fold amounts of assay buffer and centrifuged (1000 rpm, 5 minutes) at room temperature. The supernatant was removed, and then the precipitated cells were resuspended into assay buffer (4 mL). Thereto was added assay buffer which contained IBMX (manufactured by Sigma, #17018-1G), and 7.5×104 cells/mL of cell suspension was prepared. The cell suspension was let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, and then to each well of 96 half well white plate (manufactured by Corning Incorporated, #3693) were added the cell suspension (20 μL) and a solution of a test compound or AR231453 (5 μL; a total of 25 (final concentration: 1500 cells/well, 500 μM IBMX, 1% dimethylsulfoxide). The mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes, and then to each well were added a 20-fold diluted solution (each 12.5 μL/well) of cAMP-d2 and Anti cAMP-Cryptate of HTRF cAMP kit (manufactured by Cisbio, #62AM4PEC). The mixture was stirred, and then was let stand for 1 hour under light shielding. A fluorescence intensity was measured by time-resolved fluorescence mode (Ex: 320 nm, Em: 665 nm, 620 nm) of Microplate Reader (ARVO or SpectraMax M5e). In ARVO, Ratios [Ratio=(665 nm/620 nm)×104)] of cAMP-d2 to Anti cAMP-Cryptate were calculated from the resulting fluorescence intensity, and cAMP concentrations of each well were calculated from cAMP standard curve prepared by the Ratios and GraphPad Prism. In SpectraMax M5e, cAMP concentrations of each well were calculated on the basis of a standard curve prepared by the resulting fluorescence intensity and Softmax Pro.


EC50 of test compounds were calculated by GraphPad Prism.


(Results)

Results of the present experiment (EC50 of each test compound) are shown in the following Table 35. “++” and “+++” in the table have the following meanings.


++: 3 μM>EC50≧1 μM

Experiment 2
Inhibitory Effect on Increased Blood Glucose of Present Compounds

Test Method:


C57BL/6N male mice was fasted for 21 hours, and then a stratified randomization allocation was carried out by EXSUS Ver7.6 NP (Arm Systex Co., Ltd.) based on body weights (n=8). Vehicle (solvent: 0.1% Tween 80/0.5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) (control group) or a suspended solution of a test compound in the vehicle (test compound group) was orally administered to the mice, and a glucose load (3 g/kg, p.o.) was carried out one hour after administration of a test compound. Blood samplings from the test mice were carried out at each time point of just before administration of drug (−60 min), immediately before glucose load (0 min), 30 minutes (30 min), 60 minutes (60 min) and 120 minutes (120 min) after glucose load. Blood glucose levels at each time point were measured by glucose CII-Test Wako (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), AUC (0-120 min) was calculated in each administration group on the basis of the measured value, and evaluated by time-dependent variance analysis and Student's t-Test using EXSUS Ver7.6NP (Arm Systex Co., Ltd.).


Results:

An inhibitory effect on increased blood glucose of each test compound (A ratio value of AUC (0-120 min) of the test compound group in case that AUC (0-120 min) of the control group is 100) is shown in the following Table 36.
