Definitions
- the present invention relates to pyrimidine-based inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4), and to a method for treating multiple diseases or disorders by employing such pyrimidine -based inhibitors alone, or in combination with another type of therapeutic agent.
- DPP-4 dipeptidyl peptidase IV
- Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is a membrane bound non-classical serine aminodipeptidase which is located in a variety of tissues (intestine, liver, lung, kidney) as well as on circulating T-lymphocytes (where the enzyme is known as CD- 26). It is responsible for the metabolic cleavage of certain endogenous peptides (GLP-I (7-36), glucagon) in vivo and has demonstrated proteolytic activity against a variety of other peptides (GHRH, NPY, GLP-2, VIP) in vitro.
- GLP- 1 (7-36) is a 29 amino-acid peptide derived by post-translational processing of proglucagon in the small intestine.
- GLP-l(7-36) has multiple actions in vivo including the stimulation of insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon secretion, the promotion of satiety, and the slowing of gastric emptying. Based on its physiological profile, the actions of GLP- 1(7-36) are expected to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes and potentially obesity.
- exogenous administration of GLP- 1(7-36) continuously infusion in diabetic patients has demonstrated efficacy in this patient population.
- GLP- 1(7- 36) is degraded rapidly in vivo and has been shown to have a short half-life in vivo (tl/2 ⁇ l .5 min).
- DPP-4 has been shown to be the primary degrading enzyme of GLP- 1(7-36) in vivo.
- GLP- 1(7-36) is degraded by DPP -4 efficiently to GLP- 1(9-36), which has been speculated to act as a physiological antagonist to GLP-l(7-36).
- inhibition of DPP-4 in vivo should potentiate endogenous levels of GLP-l(7-36) and attenuate formation of its antagonist GLP-I (9- 36) and thus serve to ameliorate the diabetic condition.

PYRIMIDINE-BASED INfflBITORS OF DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE IV AND METHODS
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/640,110, filed December 29, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to pyrimidine-based inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4), and to a method for treating multiple diseases or disorders by employing such pyrimidine -based inhibitors alone, or in combination with another type of therapeutic agent.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) is a membrane bound non-classical serine aminodipeptidase which is located in a variety of tissues (intestine, liver, lung, kidney) as well as on circulating T-lymphocytes (where the enzyme is known as CD- 26). It is responsible for the metabolic cleavage of certain endogenous peptides (GLP-I (7-36), glucagon) in vivo and has demonstrated proteolytic activity against a variety of other peptides (GHRH, NPY, GLP-2, VIP) in vitro. [0004] GLP- 1 (7-36) is a 29 amino-acid peptide derived by post-translational processing of proglucagon in the small intestine. GLP-l(7-36) has multiple actions in vivo including the stimulation of insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon secretion, the promotion of satiety, and the slowing of gastric emptying. Based on its physiological profile, the actions of GLP- 1(7-36) are expected to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes and potentially obesity. To support this claim, exogenous administration of GLP- 1(7-36) (continuous infusion) in diabetic patients has demonstrated efficacy in this patient population. Unfortunately GLP- 1(7- 36) is degraded rapidly in vivo and has been shown to have a short half-life in vivo (tl/2~l .5 min). Based on a study of genetically bred DPP-4 KO mice and on in vivo/in vitro studies with selective DPP-4 inhibitors, DPP-4 has been shown to be the
primary degrading enzyme of GLP- 1(7-36) in vivo. GLP- 1(7-36) is degraded by DPP -4 efficiently to GLP- 1(9-36), which has been speculated to act as a physiological antagonist to GLP-l(7-36). Thus, inhibition of DPP-4 in vivo should potentiate endogenous levels of GLP-l(7-36) and attenuate formation of its antagonist GLP-I (9- 36) and thus serve to ameliorate the diabetic condition.

[00131] DPP-4 inhibitory activity of the compounds of the present invention may be determined by use of an in vitro assay system which measures the degree in inhibition of DPP-4-mediated cleavage of an appropriate substrate or pseudo- substrate. Inhibition constants (Ki values) for the DPP-4 inhibitors of the invention may be determined by the method described in the experimental section below.
Cloning, Expression and Purification of human DPP-4
[00132] To generate human DPP-4, PCR (Red-tag polymerase, Sigma) was performed on Human cDNA from placenta (Clontech) using two primers, ACGCCGACGATGAAGACA and AGGTAAAGAGAAACATTGTT, based on the nucleotide sequence of the human clone (accession number M74777). PCR products were cloned into the pcDN4/HisMax TOPO vector (Invitrogene). For stable transfection of CHO-DG44 cells, DPP4 was rePCRed using primers GGTACCAGCGCAGAGGCTT and CTCGAGCTAAGGTAAAGAGAAACATTG to generate Kpnl and Xhol sites. The Kpnl and Xhol sites were used to extract the N- terminal His tagged gene. The His tag, which could be cleaved and removed by Enterokinase, was included to allow purification using the TALON affinity column. The gene was then ligated into the Kpnl and Xhol sites of the pD16 vector for stable transfection. Stable cell lines were generated by transfecting the expression vector into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-DG44) cells using electroporation. The CHO-DG44 cell line was grown in PFCHO media supplemented with HT (glycine, hypoxanthine and thymidine, Invitrogene), glutamine and Recombulin (ICN). Then 1x107 cells/ml were collected, transfected with 60 μg of DNA using electroporation at 300V, and then transferred to a T75 flask. On the third day following transfection, the HT supplement was removed and selection was initiated with methotrexate (MTX, 10 nM, ICN). After a further 10 days the cells were plated into individual wells of 96 well plates. Every 10 days the concentration of MTX was increased two to three fold, up to a maximum of 400 nM. Final stable cell line selection was based on yield and activity of the expressed protein. [00133] An attempt to purify recombinant DPP-4 using Talon resin was not efficient, resulting in small yields, with most of the DPP activity passing through the column. Therefore, protein was further purified using conventional anion exchange
(Sepharose Q)5 gel filtration (S-200) and high resolution MonoQ columns. The final protein yielded a single band on SDS-PAGE gels. Amino acid sequence analysis indicated two populations of DPP-4 in the sample. One portion of the protein had 27 amino acids truncated from the N-terminus, while the other was lacking the N- terminal 37 amino acids. This suggests that during isolation the entire transmembrane domain (including His tag) is removed by proteases present in the CHO cells. Total protein concentration was measured using the Bradford dye method and the amount of the active DPP-4 was determined by titrating the enzyme with a previously characterized inhibitor (Ki = 0.4 nM). No biphasic behavior was observed during inhibition or catalysis, suggesting that both protein populations are functionally identical.
DPP-4 inhibition assays.
[00134] Inhibition of human DPP-4 activity was measured under steady-state conditions by following the absorbance increase at 405 nm upon the cleavage of the pseudosubstrate, Gly-Pro-pNA. Assays were performed in 96-well plates using a Thermomax plate reader. Typically reactions contained 100 μl of ATE buffer (100 mM Aces, 52 mM Tris, 52 mM ethanolamine, pH 7.4), 0.45 nM enzyme, either 120 or 1000 μM of substrate (S<Km and S>Km, Km = 180 μM) and variable concentration of the inhibitor. To ensure steady-state conditions for slow-binding inhibitors, enzyme was preincubated with the compound for 40 minutes prior to substrate addition, to initiate the reaction. AU serial inhibitor dilutions were in DMSO and final solvent concentration did not exceed 1%.
[00135] Inhibitor potency was evaluated by fitting inhibition data to the binding isotherm:
Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes. (1)
where vi is the initial reaction velocity at different concentrations of inhibitor I; v is the control velocity in the absence of inhibitor, range is the difference between the uninhibited velocity and background; background is the rate of spontaneous substrate hydrolysis in the absent of enzyme, n is the Hill coefficient.
[00136] Calculated IC50 at each substrate concentration were converted to Eli assuming competitive inhibition according to:
Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes. (2)
[00137] AU inhibitors were competitive as judged by a very good agreement of Ki values obtained from the assays at high and low substrate concentrations. In cases where IC50 at the low substrate concentration was close to the enzyme concentration used in the assay, the data were fit to the Morrison equation1, to account for the depletion of the free inhibitor:
Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes. (3)
where vi and vo are the steady state velocities measured in the presence and absence of inhibitor, E enzyme concentration.
[00138] Each IC50 was further refined to Ki, to account for the substrate concentration in the assay using equation (2).
