Hypoglycemic agents with a mechanism of depeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibition are suitable for once daily oral dosing. It is difficult to strike a balance between inhibitory activity and duration of action in plasma for inhibitors bearing an electrophilic nitrile group. We explored fused bicyclic heteroarylpiperazine substituted at the γ-position of the proline structure in the investigation of l-prolylthiazolidines lacking the electrophilic nitrile. Among them, 2-trifluoroquinolyl compound 8g is the most potent, long-lasting DPP-4 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.37 nmol/L) with high selectivity against other related peptidases. X-ray crystal structure determination of 8g indicates that CH-π interactions generated between the quinolyl ring and the guanidinyl group of Arg358 enhances the DPP-4 inhibitory activity and selectivity.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) enhancers, are looked to as a potential new class of antidiabetic agents. In particular, potent and long-acting inhibitors might offer advantages in exploiting DPP-IV inhibition. The series of [(S)-γ-(arylamino)prolyl]-(S)-2-cyanopyrrolidine compounds on which we reported previously has a highly potent inhibitory activity but seemed to be unstable in neutral aqueous solution. Here, we describe [(S)-γ-(arylamino)prolyl]thiazolidine compounds as a novel series of potent and stable DPP-IV inhibitors. They are the thiazolidine analogs of [(S)-γ-(arylamino)prolyl]-(S)-2-cyanopyrrolidine but with the electrophilic nitrile removed to improve chemical stability in aqueous solution. Of the compounds investigated in the present study, the [((S)-γ-3,4-dicyanophenylamino)prolyl]thiazolidine 12m was the most potent. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the γ-substituent in the proline moiety of the thiazolidide was similar to that obtained with the (S)-2-cyanopyrrolidide. The γ-substituent in the proline moiety of both the (S)-2-cyanopyrrolidide and the thiazolidide may engage with the S2 binding pocket of DPP-IV and thereby achieve hydrophobic interaction in the same manner. Based on pharmacokinetic experiments in rats, the representative compound 11, which displayed high oral bioavailability (BA = 83.9%) and long half-life in plasma (t1/2 = 5.27 h), was found to have an excellent pharmacokinetic profile.
