Definitions

  • the present invention relates to certain substituted pyridinyl and pyrimidinyl derivatives that are modulators of glucose metabolism. Accordingly, compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of metabolic-related disorders and complications thereof, such as, diabetes and obesity.
  • Diabetes mellitus is a serious disease afflicting over 100 million people worldwide. In the United States, there are more than 12 million diabetics, with 600,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
  • Diabetes mellitus is a diagnostic term for a group of disorders characterized by abnormal glucose homeostasis resulting in elevated blood sugar.
  • IDDM insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
  • NIDDM non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
  • the etiology of the different types of diabetes is not the same; however, everyone with diabetes has two things in common: overproduction of glucose by the liver and little or no ability to move glucose out of the blood into the cells where it becomes the body's primary fuel.
  • Diabetes is a syndrome with interrelated metabolic, vascular, and neuropathic components.
  • the metabolic syndrome generally characterized by hyperglycemia, comprises alterations in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism caused by absent or markedly reduced insulin secretion and/or ineffective insulin action.
  • the vascular syndrome consists of abnormalities in the blood vessels leading to cardiovascular, retinal and renal complications. Abnormalities in the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems are also part of the diabetic syndrome.
  • IDDM People with IDDM, which accounts for about 5% to 10% of those who have diabetes, don't produce insulin and therefore must inject insulin to keep their blood glucose levels normal. IDDM is characterized by low or undetectable levels of endogenous insulin production caused by destruction of the insulin-producing ⁇ cells of the pancreas, the characteristic that most readily distinguishes IDDM from NIDDM. IDDM, once termed juvenile-onset diabetes, strikes young and older adults alike.
  • NIDDM Type II diabetes Approximately 90 to 95% of people with diabetes have Type II (or NIDDM). NIDDM subjects produce insulin, but the cells in their bodies are insulin resistant: the cells don't respond properly to the hormone, so glucose accumulates in their blood. NIDDM is characterized by a relative disparity between endogenous insulin production and insulin requirements, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. In contrast to IDDM, there is always some endogenous insulin production in NIDDM; many NIDDM patients have normal or even elevated blood insulin levels, while other NIDDM patients have inadequate insulin production (Rotwein, R. et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 308, 65-71 (1983)). Most people diagnosed with NIDDM are age 30 or older, and half of all new cases are age 55 and older. Compared with whites and Asians, NIDDM is more common among Native Americans, African-Americans, Latinos, and Hispanics. In addition, the onset can be insidious or even clinically inapparent, making diagnosis difficult.
  • NIDDM neurodegenerative disease
  • Obesity and diabetes are among the most common human health problems in industrialized societies. In industrialized countries a third of the population is at least 20% overweight. In the United States, the percentage of obese people has increased from 25% at the end of the 1970s, to 33% at the beginning the 1990s. Obesity is one of the most important risk factors for NIDDM. Definitions of obesity differ, but in general, a subject weighing at least 20% more than the recommended weight for his/her height and build is considered obese. The risk of developing NIDDM is tripled in subjects 30% overweight, and three-quarters with NIDDM are overweight.
  • Obesity which is the result of an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure, is highly correlated with insulin resistance and diabetes in experimental animals and human.
  • the molecular mechanisms that are involved in obesity-diabetes syndromes are not clear.
  • increase insulin secretion balances insulin resistance and protects patients from hyperglycemia (Le Stunff, et al. Diabetes 43, 696-702 (1989)).
  • ⁇ cell function deteriorates and non-insulin-dependent diabetes develops in about 20% of the obese population (Pederson, P. Diab. Metab. Rev. 5, 505-509 (1989)) and (Brancati, F. L., et al., Arch. Intern. Med.

Assembled from ATP, bicarbonate and glutamine, the uracil and cytosine nucleotides are fuel for the synthesis of RNA, DNA, phospholipids, UDP sugars and glycogen. Over the past 2 decades considerable progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms by which cellular pyrimidines are modulated to meet the needs of the cell. These studies point to increasing evidence for cooperation between key cell signaling pathways and basic elements of cellular metabolism, and suggest that these events have the potential to determine distinct cellular fates, including growth, differentiation and death.

  • compounds of the invention are useful in the treatment of additional diseases. Without limitation, these include the following.
  • insulin resistance impaired insulin signaling at its target tissues
  • Current therapies to treat the latter include inhibitors of the ⁇ -cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel to trigger the release of endogenous insulin stores, or administration of exogenous insulin. Neither of these achieves accurate normalization of blood glucose levels and both carry the risk of inducing hypoglycemia. For these reasons, there has been intense interest in the development of pharmaceuticals that function in a glucose-dependent action, i.e. potentiators of glucose signaling.
  • Physiological signaling systems which function in this manner are well-characterized and include the gut peptides GLP1, GIP and PACAP. These hormones act via their cognate G-protein coupled receptor to stimulate the production of cAMP in pancreatic ⁇ -cells. The increased cAMP does not appear to result in stimulation of insulin release during the fasting or preprandial state.
  • a series of biochemical targets of cAMP signaling including the ATP-sensitive potassium channel, voltage-sensitive potassium channels and the exocytotic machinery, are modified in such a way that the insulin secretory response to a postprandial glucose stimulus is markedly enhanced.
  • agonists of novel, similarly functioning, ⁇ -cell GPCRs, including RUP3 would also stimulate the release of endogenous insulin and consequently promote normoglycemia in Type II diabetes.
  • cAMP for example as a result of GLP1 stimulation, promotes ⁇ -cell proliferation, inhibits ⁇ -cell death and thus improves islet mass.
  • This positive effect on ⁇ -cell mass is expected to be beneficial in both Type II diabetes, where insufficient insulin is produced, and Type I diabetes, where ⁇ -cells are destroyed by an inappropriate autoimmune response.
  • Some ⁇ -cell GPCRs are also present in the hypothalamus where they modulate hunger, satiety, decrease food intake, controlling or decreasing weight and energy expenditure. Hence, given their function within the hypothalamic circuitry, agonists or inverse agonists of these receptors mitigate hunger, promote satiety and therefore modulate weight.

  • a cysteine residue was incorporated at the N-terminal end of this antigenic peptide to facilitate KLH crosslinking before injecting into rabbits.
  • the resulting antisera (“anti-rRUP3”) and the corresponding preimmune sera (“pre-rRUP3”) were tested for immune reactivity to mouse RUP3 in immunobloting assays (lanes 1 though 4).
  • the GST-RUP3 fusion protein was readily recognized by the anti-rRUP3 antisera (lane 4), but not by the preimmune sera (lane 2).
  • the immunoreactive signal could be efficiently eliminated when the immunobloting assay was performed in the presence of excess antigenic peptide (lane 6).
  • Rat pancreas was perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS and embedded in OCT embedding medium.
  • PFA paraformaldehyde
  • Ten micron sections were prepared, fixed on glass slides, and immunostained with either pre-rRUP3 ( FIG. 2B , panel a) or with anti-rRUP3 antisera ( FIG. 2B , panels c and e) followed by secondary staining with donkey anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to the fluorochrome Cy-3.
  • Each section was also co-immunostained with a monoclonal anti-insulin antibody (Santa Cruz, FIG.
  • RUP3 stimulates the production of cAMP by cotransfection of 293 cells with: (1) a CRE-Luciferase reporter, wherein the ability to stimulate the production of firefly luciferase depends on increased cAMP in cells, and (2) an expression plasmid encoding the human form of RUP3 ( FIG. 3A ).
  • CMV CRE-Luciferase reporter
  • RUP3 an expression plasmid encoding the human form of RUP3
  • RUP3 stimulates the production of cAMP when introduced into 293 cells. This property of RUP3 is conserved across species, because hamster RUP3 stimulates luciferase activity when introduced into 293 cells in a manner analogous to that described for human RUP3 ( FIG. 3B ).
  • RUP3 agonist either Compound B3 or B 124
  • Compounds were delivered orally via a gavage needle (p.o., volume 10 mL/Kg).
  • levels of blood glucose were assessed using a glucometer (Elite XL, Bayer), and mice were administered either vehicle (20% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin) or test compound.
  • levels of blood glucose were again assessed, and mice were administered dextrose orally at a dose of 3 g/Kg.
  • Retrovirus bearing an expression cassette for RUP3 was generated. Briefly, RUP3 coding sequence was cloned into the retroviral vector pLNCX2 (Clontech, Cat # 6102-1). The amphotropic packaging cell line PT-67 (Clontech, K1060-D) was then transfected with either the parental vector pLNCX2 or pLNCX2/RUP3 using Lipofectamine and stable lines were established using guidelines provided by the PT-67 vendor. Retrovirus-containing supernatant was obtained by collecting media from the resultant stables according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • Tu6 cells in a 10 cm dish, were then infected with retrovirus by incubating in a solution of 1 ml viral supernatant/9 ml culture media containing 40 ug/ml polybrene for 24 hours. The medium was then changed to culture media containing 300 ug/ml G418. G418-resistant clones were ultimately created by virtue of the neomycin-resistance gene cassette present in the pLNCX2 vector, thus indicating the successful integration of retrovirus into the Tu6 genome. The expression of RUP3 in the Tu6/RUP3 G418-resistant colonies was confirmed by Northern blot.
  • EIA Rat Insulin Enzyme-Immunoassay
  • another means for evaluating a test compound is by determining binding affinities to the RUP3 receptor.
  • This type of assay generally requires a radiolabelled ligand to the RUP3 receptor. Absent the use of known ligands for the RUP3 receptor and radiolabels thereof, compounds of Formula (Ia) can be labelled with a radioisotope and used in an assay for evaluating the affinity of a test compound to the RUP3 receptor.
  • a radiolabelled RUP3 compound of Formula (Ia) can be used in a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds.
  • a newly synthesized or identified compound i.e., test compound
  • the ability to compete with the “radio-labelled compound of Formula (Ia)” or Radiolabelled RUP3 Ligand for the binding to the RUP3 receptor directly correlates to its binding affinity of the test compound to the RUP3 receptor.

  • membranes were thawed on ice for 20 minutes and then 10 nL of incubation buffer (20 mM Hepes, 1 mM MgCl 2 , 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.4) added. The membranes were then vortexed to resuspend the crude membrane pellet and homogenized with a Brinkmann PT-3100 Polytron homogenizer for 15 seconds at setting 6. The concentration of membrane protein was determined using the BRL Bradford protein assay.
  • a total volume of 50 ul of appropriately diluted membranes (diluted in assay buffer containing 50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl 2 , and 1 mM EDTA; 5-50 ⁇ g protein) is added to 96-well polyproylene microtiter plates followed by addition of 100 ul of assay buffer and 50 ⁇ l of Radiolabelled RUP3 Ligand.
  • 50 ⁇ l of assay buffer is added instead of 100 ⁇ l and an additional 50 ⁇ l of 10 ⁇ M cold RUP3 is added before 50 ⁇ l of Radiolabelled RUP3 Ligand is added. Plates are then incubated at room temperature for 60-120 minutes.
  • the binding reaction is terminated by filtering assay plates through a Microplate Devices GF/C Unifilter filtration plate with a Brandell 96-well plate harvestor followed by washing with cold 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4 containing 0.9% NaCl. Then, the bottom of the filtration plate are sealed, 50 ⁇ l of Optiphase Supermix is added to each well, the top of the plates are sealed, and plates are counted in a Trilux MicroBeta scintillation counter. For compound competition studies, instead of adding 100 ⁇ l of assay buffer, 100 ⁇ l of appropriately diluted test compound is added to appropriate wells followed by addition of 50 ul of Radiolabelled RUP3 Ligand.
  • test compounds are initially assayed at 1 and 0.1 ⁇ M and then at a range of concentrations chosen such that the middle dose would cause about 50% inhibition of a Radio-RUP3 Ligand binding (i.e., IC 50 ).
  • IC 50 Specific binding in the absence of test compound (B O ) is the difference of total binding (B T ) minus non-specific binding (NSB) and similarly specific binding (in the presence of test compound) (B) is the difference of displacement binding (B D ) minus non-specific binding (NSB).
  • IC 50 is determined from an inhibition response curve, logit-log plot of % B/B O vs concentration of test compound.
  • K i IC 50 /(1 +[L]/K D )
  • [L] is the concentration of a Radio-RUP3 Ligand used in the assay and K D is the dissociation constant of a Radio-RUP3 Ligand determined independently under the same binding conditions.
