TITLE OF THIE INVENTION
TRI(CYCLO) SUBSTITUTED AMIDE COMPOUNDS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The- present invention is directed tom tri(cyclo) substitute amide compounds.
In particulaay, the present invention is directed to amide compoumds substituted 1) at the carbonye1 carbon with an ethyl/ethenyl =attached to a phenyl r=ing and an aryl/heterosaryl/heterocyclic ring, and ii) at- the amino with a nitmrogen bearing heteroaryl mring, which are modulators of g-lucokinase and are useful in the prophylact#ic or therapeutic treatment of hyperglycemia and typ -e II diabetes.
Glumcokinase (“GK”) is believed to be important in the t>ody’s regulation of its plasma glu_cose level. GK, found principaally in the liver and pancreas, is one of four hexokinasess that catalyze the initial metabwolism of glucose. Tkae GK pathway is saturated a_t higher glucose levels than the other hexokinase pat-hways (See R.L.
Printz et all.., Annu. Rev. Nutr., 13:463-496(1993)). GK is critical to maintaining the glucose balance in mammals. Animals th at do not express GK_ die soon after birth with diabetes, while animals that overexparess GK have improv—ed glucose tolerance.
Activation: of GK can lead to hyperinsulimemic hypoglycemia. (See, for example,
H.B.T. Ch-ristesen et al., Diabetes, 51:124-0-1246(2002)). Additionally, type I maturity-ownset diabetes of the young is caused by the loss of fitanction mutations in the
GK gene, - suggesting that GK operates as a glucose sensor in humans. (Y. Liang et al., Biochezm. J. 309:167-173(1995)). Thuis, compounds that activate GK increase the- sensitivity— of the GK sensory system and would be useful in thme treatment of hyperglycemia — particularly the hypergls/cemia associated with type II diabetes. It is therefore clesirable to provide novel compounds that activate (GK to treat diabetes.

While the preferred groups for each variable have generally been listed above separately for each variable, preferred compounds of this inve=ntion include those in which several or each variable in Formula (I) is selected from. the preferred, more preferred, most preferred, especially or particularly listed grovaps for each vazriable. Therefore, this invention 1s intended to include all ¢c-ombinations of pre=ferred, more preferred, most pre ferred, especially and particularly listed groups.
As used herein, unless stated otherwise, “alkyl” as well as other groups ha=ving the prefix “alk” such as, for example, alkoxy, alkanyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and the like, means carbon chains whick may be linear or branche=d or combinations the=reof, Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propoyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec- an_d tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyll and the like. “Alkenyl”, =‘alkynyl” and other like= ter—ms include carbon chains having at least one unsaturated caarbon-carbon bond.
As used herein, for examples, “Cg 4alkyl” is used to me=an an alkyl having 0-4 ca—xbons — that is, 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 carbons in a straight or branched configuration. An all<yl having no carbon is hydrogerm when the alkyl is a termiraal group. An alkyl ha_ving no carbon is a direct bond when the alkyl is a bridging (connecting) group.
The terms “cycloalkyl” and. “carbocyclic ring” mean carbocycles containing now heteroatoms, and include mono—, bi-, and tricyclic saturate=d carbocycles, as well a_s fu:sed and bridged systems. Such fused ring systems can inclmnde one ring that is pamtially or fully unsaturated, such as a benzene ring, to form fused ring systems, such as benzofused carbocycles. Cycloalkyl includes such fused ring systems as spirofuse=d ring systems. Exampoles of cycloalkyl and carbocyclic rings include Cascycloallikyl such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and decahydronaphthaalene, adamantane, indanyli, 1,2,3 J4-tetrahydronaphthalene anc the like.
The term “halogen” includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine atomms.
The term “ar~y!”” includes, for example, phenyl and naphthyl.
Unless otherwise stated, the term “heterocyclic ring” includes 4-8-memmbered saturated rings containing one or two heteroatoms chossen from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. The heteroatoms are not directly attached to ©ne another. Examples o f heterocyclic rings imnclude oxetane, tetrahydrofuran, tetorahydropyran, oxepane, oxocane, thietane, tetrahydrothiophene, tetrahydrothiopyran, thiepane, thiocanes, azetidine, pyrrolidimne, piperidine, azepane, azocane, [L ,3]dioxane, oxazolidine , piperazine, and the like. Other examples of heterocyclic rings include the oxid=ised forms of the sulfur— containing rings. Thus, tetrahydrot-hiophene 1-oxide, tetrahydrothiophen_e 1,1-dioxide, tetrahydrothiopyran 1-oxide, and tetrahydrothiopyramn 1,1-dioxide are also considered to be heterocyclic rings.
Unless otherwise stated, the term “heteroaryl” includes 5- or 6-membe-=red heteroaryl rings cosntaining 1-4 heteroatoms chosen from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen.
Examples of such “heteroaryl rings are furyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, imidaazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazol-yl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazoly=], tetrazolyl, pyridinzyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazimnyl, and triazinyl.
The above formulas are shown without a defimitive stereochemistry at. certain positions. The present invention includes all stereois omers (e.g. geometric ismomers, optical isomers, di astereoisomers, etc.) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, except where specifically drawn or stated otherwise. Further, mixtures of stereoisomers as well as isolated specific stereoisomests are also included, except where specificallyy drawn or stated otherwise. During the course of the synth-etic procedures used t-o prepare such compounds, or in ussing racemization or epimerization prowcedures known to those skilled in the art, the products of stach procedures can bes a mixture of stereoisomers. Wher a tautomer of the compwound of the above formulzas exists, the present invention inclmudes any possible tautomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and mixtimres thereof, except wher—e specifically drawn or stated otherwise. When the compound of the above formulas and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof exist i_n the form of solvates or= polymorphic forrmns, the present invention includes amny possible solvates andi polymorphi«c forms. A type of a solvent that forms the solvate is not particularly limited so long as the solvent is pharmacologzically acceptable. For example, water, ethanol, prospanol, acetone or the like can be used.
Since the compounds of Formula (I) are intended for pharmaceutical use they are preferatsly provided in substantially pure form, for example at least- 60% pure, more suitabely at least 75% pure, especially at least 98% pure (% are or a weight for weight basi s).
