Definitions

  • the present invention relates to certain triazolopyrimidinones useful as Fatty Acid Binding Protein ("FABP") inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods of treatment using the compounds and compositions to treat or prevent various diseases including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorder, dyslipedemia, obesity and diabetes (e.g., Type 2 diabetes).
  • FABP Fatty Acid Binding Protein
  • Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in the United States. At the core of this syndrome is the dysregulation of lipid metabolism and aberrant inflammatory responses. Although mechanistic roles for fatty acids have been put forward in the formation of obesity and diabetes by modifying glucose and lipid metabolism as well as inflammatory cascades, little is known about the mechanisms that link fatty acids or other lipid signals to inflammatory responses and the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. The biology of fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) in several mouse models with targeted mutations in adipocyte/macrophage isoforms of these proteins ahs been investigated.
  • FBPs fatty acid binding proteins
  • Lipids and lipid signals are critical in the integration of metabolic and integration of metabolic and inflammatory response systems and consequently play significant parts in the pathogenesis of a cluster of chronic metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis.
  • Cytoplasmic fatty-acid-binding proteins are a family of 14-15-kDa proteins that bind with high affinity to hydrophobic ligands such as saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acids and eicosanoids such as hydroxyeicosatetra-enoic acid, leukotrienes and prostaglandins.
  • adipocyte FABP The adipocyte FABP, aP2 (FABP4), is highly expressed in adipocytes and regulated by peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor- ⁇ (PPAR y) agonists, insulin and fatty acids.
  • PPAR y peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor- ⁇
  • insulin resistance a phenomenon termed insulin resistance
  • PPAR y peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor- ⁇
  • insulin resistance a phenomenon termed insulin resistance
  • the development of insulin resistance has been linked to augmented availability of lipids and other nutrients. Specifically, plasma concentrations of free fatty acids (FFAs) are elevated in insulin resistance and even predict type 2 diabetes. Over past years, evidence has accumulated that FFAs induce insulin resistance by raising intracellular lipid metabolites.
  • FFAs free fatty acids
  • FFAs can increase either in the circulating blood due to high-fat diet and release by adipocytes or within cells consequent to lipolysis or de novo synthesis.
  • FFAs tour through the body mainly while bound to fatty acid transport proteins, whereas fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) regulate their intracellular fate.
  • FABPs include, for example FABP2, FABP3, FABP4, FABP5, etc.
  • the adipocyte-specific isoform (FABP4, A-FABP, ALBP or aP2) has gained attention for its proposed role in metabolic disorders and atherosclerosis.
  • Fatty acid binding proteins integrate metabolic and immune responses and link the inflammatory and lipid-mediated pathways that are critical in the metabolic syndrome.
  • FABP inhibitors especially FABP4 inhibitors, that have efficacy for the treatment of metabolic disorders such as, for example, obesity, type Il diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.
  • FABP inhibitors especially FABP5 inhibitors, that have efficacy for the treatment of metabolic disorders such as, for example, obesity, type Il diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.
  • FABP inhibitors especially FABP3 inhibitors, that have efficacy for the treatment of metabolic disorders such as, for example, obesity, type Il diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.

  • Diabetes refers to a disease process derived from multiple causative factors and is characterized by elevated levels of plasma glucose, or hyperglycemia in the fasting state or after administration of glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test. Persistent or uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with increased and premature morbidity and mortality. Abnormal glucose homeostasis is associated with alterations of the lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein metabolism and other metabolic and hemodynamic disease.
  • the diabetic patient is at especially increased risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Accordingly, therapeutic control of glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism and hypertension are critically important in the clinical management and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
  • type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
  • IDDM insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
  • NIDDM noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus
  • Insulin resistance is not associated with a diminished number of insulin receptors but rather to a post-insulin receptor binding defect that is not well understood. This resistance to insulin responsiveness results in insufficient insulin activation of glucose uptake, oxidation and storage in muscle, and inadequate insulin repression of lipolysis in adipose tissue and of glucose production and secretion in the liver.
  • the available treatments for type 2 diabetes which have not changed substantially in many years, have recognized limitations. While physical exercise and reductions in dietary intake of calories will dramatically improve the diabetic condition, compliance with this treatment is very poor because of well-entrenched sedentary lifestyles and excess food consumption, especially of foods containing high amounts of saturated fat.
  • sulfonylureas e.g.
  • tolbutamide and glipizide which stimulate the pancreatic [beta]-cells to secrete more insulin, and/or by injection of insulin when sulfonylureas or meglitinide become ineffective, can result in insulin concentrations high enough to stimulate the very insulin-resistant tissues.
  • dangerously low levels of plasma glucose can result from administration of insulin or insulin secretagogues (sulfonylureas or meglitinide), and an increased level of insulin resistance due to the even higher plasma insulin levels can occur.
  • the biguanides are a class of agents that can increase insulin sensitivity and bring about some degree of correction of hyperglycemia. However, the biguanides can induce lactic acidosis and nausea/diarrhea.
  • the glitazones are a separate class of compounds with potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. These agents increase insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver and adipose tissue in several animal models of type 2 diabetes, resulting in partial or complete correction of the elevated plasma levels of glucose without occurrence of hypoglycemia.
  • the glitazones that are currently marketed are agonists of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) 1 primarily the PPAR- gamma subtype, PPAR-gamma agonism is generally believed to be responsible for the improved insulin sensitization that is observed with the glitazones.
  • PPAR peroxisome proliferator activated receptor
  • Newer PPAR agonists that are being tested for treatment of Type 2 diabetes are agonists of the alpha, gamma or delta subtype, or a combination of these, and in many cases are chemically different from the glitazones (i.e., they are not thiazolidinediones). Serious side effects (e.g. liver toxicity) have been noted in some patients treated with glitazone drugs, such as troglitazone.
