Discovery of C-(1-aryl-cyclohexyl)-methylamines as selective, orally available inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV.
2014
Abstract The successful launches of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) inhibitors as oral anti-diabetics warrant and spur the further quest for additional chemical entities in this promising class of therapeutics. Numerous pharmaceutical companies have pursued their proprietary candidates towards the clinic, resulting in a large body of published chemical structures associated with DPP IV. Herein, we report the discovery of a novel chemotype for DPP IV inhibition based on the C -(1-aryl-cyclohexyl)-methylamine scaffold and its optimization to compounds which selectively inhibit DPP IV at low-nM potency and exhibit an excellent oral pharmacokinetic profile in the rat.
