BICYCLIC HETEROCYCLE DERIVATIVES AND USE THEREOF AS GPR119 MODULATORS

The present invention relates to Bicyclic Heterocycle Derivatives of formula (I), compositions comprising a Bicyclic Heterocycle Derivative, and methods of using the Bicyclic Heterocycle Derivatives for treating or preventing obesity, diabetes, a metabolic disorder, a cardiovascular disease or a disorder related to the activity of GPR1 19 in a patient.

New C5-alkylated indolobenzazepinones acting as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization: Cytotoxic and antitumor activities

A series of 5-alkylindolobenzazepin-7-ones was synthesized by Suzuki coupling between 3-iodoindole-2-carboxylates and the appropriate α-alkylbenzylamino α-boronic acids followed by cyclization to the lactam. Derivatives having a linear alkyl chain at C5 were found to be highly cytotoxic to KB cells with IC50 values in the 30-80 nM range. These compounds also inhibited the polymerization of tubulin with IC50's of 1-2 μM. Compound 4f ((S)-5-ethyl) showed comparable antiproliferative activities (IC50's of 30-70 nM) in a variety of cancer cell lines, cell growth being arrested at the G2/M phase. Compound 4f induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in three different cancer cell lines and was shown to affect cell morphology in a manner consistent with its inhibitory action on tubulin polymerization. Using the experimental model of glioma grafted on the chick chorio-allantoic membrane, local treatment with compound 4f markedly reduced tumor progression.

The dutch resolution variant of the classical resolution of racemates by formation of diastereomeric salts: Family behaviour in nucleation inhibition

The resolution of racemates through their diastereomeric salts can be positively affected by the addition of small amounts of suitable nucleation inhibitors. This discovery is a logical extension of "Dutch Resolution", in which equimolar amounts of resolving agents that are members of the same family (i.e., structurally related) are used. We conducted a systematic search for nucleation inhibitors of the resolving agent 1-phenylethylamine. A wide range of amines that bear possible family resemblances to 1-phenylethylamine was investigated. It was found that (R)-1-phenylbutylamine is a good inhibitor of (R)-1-phenylethylamine. Results of turbidity measurements showed that, for the model case of mandelic acid resolution, the chief effect of this inhibitor was to widen the metastable zone for the more soluble diastereomer. This observation is in accordance with previous experience. Further scouting for possible family members revealed a wide variation in the effectiveness of inhibitors, dependent on their structure. By far the most effective inhibitors are bifunctional 1-phenylethylamine and/or 1-phenylbutylamine analogues. The effect of racemic inhibitors was found to approach that of enantiomerically pure inhibitors of the same absolute configuration of the 1-phenylethylamine used for resolution. The most effective inhibitors were tested for the resolution of a structural variety of racemates, and were shown to be broadly applicable.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of potential anticonvulsants based on 2-piperidinecarboxylic acid and related pharmacophores

Using N-(2,6-dimethyl)phenyl-2-piperidinecarboxamide (1) and N-(α-methylbenzyl)-2-piperidinecarboxamide (2) as structural leads, a variety of analogues were synthesised and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in the MES test in mice. In the N-benzyl series, introduction of 3-Cl, 4-Cl, 3,4-Cl2, or 3-CF3 groups on the aromatic ring led to an increase in MES activity. Replacement of the α-methyl group by either i-Pr or benzyl groups enhanced MES activity with no increase in neurotoxicity. Substitution on the piperidine ring nitrogen led to a decrease in MES activity and neurotoxicity, while reduction of the amide carbonyl led to a complete loss of activity. Movement of the carboxamide group to either the 3- or 4-positions of the piperidine ring decreased MES activity and neurotoxicity. Incorporation of the piperidine ring into a tetrahydroisoquinoline or diazahydrinone nucleus led to increased neurotoxicity. In the N-(2,6-dimethyl)phenyl series, opening of the piperidine ring between the 1- and 6-positions gave the active norleucine derivative 75 (ED50 = 5.8 mg kg-1, TD50 = 36.4 mg kg-1, PI = 6.3). Replacement of the piperidine ring of 1 by cycloalkane (cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and cyclobutane) resulted in compounds with decreased MES activity and neurotoxicity, whereas replacement of the piperidine ring by a 4-pyridyl group led to a retention of MES activity with a comparable PI. Simplification of the 2-piperidinecarboxamide nucleus of 1 into a glycinecarboxamide nucleus led to about a six-fold decrease in MES activity. The 2,6-dimethylanilides were the most potent compounds in the MES test in each group of compounds evaluated, and compounds 50 and 75 should be useful leads in the development of agents for the treatment of tonic-clonic and partial seizures in man.

Reactions of 1-acylamino-1-(trimethylsiloxy)alkanes: Versatile precursors to acylimines

1-Acylamino-1-(trimethylsiloxy)alkanes react with carbon and heteroatom nucleophiles to give the corresponding 1-substituted-1-acylaminoalkanes. The 1-acylamino-1-(trimethylsiloxy)alkanes can also give rise to enamides, and by this route the mild antibiotic tuberin, and the isomeric (Z)-tuberin have been prepared. A further example of their reactions is illustrated with the acid-catalysed intramolecular cyclisation onto a carbon-carbon double bond. These transformations show that 1-acylamino-1-(trimethylsiloxy)alkanes are versatile precursors to synthetically useful acylimines.

Condensation of N,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl)formamide with Aldehydes: a General Method for the Synthesis of 1-Formamido-1-trimethylsilyloxyalkanes

Reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl)formamide with simple aldehydes gives 1-formamido-1-trimethylsilyloxyalkanes (and the corresponding adducts with ketones), which undergo displacement of trimethylsilanol by a variety of nucleophiles to give α-substituted ami
