A practical and efficient synthesis of 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-(1Htetrazol- 5-yl)cyclopenta[c]pyrazole, 1, is described. A new one-pot process has been developed, starting from the commercially available 1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylic acid-ethyl ester sodium salt which is reacted in a pseudo-Claisen condensation reaction with cyclopentanone, followed by the addition of hydrazine.

The discovery and profiling of 3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro- cyclopentapyrazole (5a, MK-0354), a partial agonist of GPR109a, is described. Compound 5a retained the plasma free fatty acid lowering effects in mice associated with GPR109a agonism,

Nicotinic acid as a hypolipidemic agent appears unique due to its potential to increase HDL cholesterol levels to a greater extent than other drugs. However, it has some side effects, among which severe skin flushing is the most frequent and often limits patients' compliance. In a search for novel agonists for the recently identified and cloned G protein-coupled nicotinic acid receptor, we synthesized a series of substituted pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids that proved to have substantial affinity for this receptor. The affinities were measured by inhibition of [3H] nicotinic acid binding to rat spleen membranes. Potencies and intrinsic activities relative to nicotinic acid were determined by their effects on [35S]GTPγS binding to rat adipocyte and spleen membranes. Interestingly, most compounds were partial agonists. In particular, 2-diazabicyclo-[3,3,O 4,8]octa-3,8-diene-3-carboxylic acid (4c) and 5-propylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (4f) proved active with Ki values of approximately 0.15 μM and EC50 values of approximately 6 μM, while their intrinsic activity was only ~50% when compared to nicotinic acid. Even slightly more active was 5-butylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (4g) with a Ki value of 0.072 μM, an EC50 value of 4.12 μM, and a relative intrinsic activity of 75%. Of the aralkyl derivatives, 4q (5-(3-chlorobenzyl)pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid) was the most active with a relatively low intrinsic activity of 39%. Partial agonism of the pyrazole derivatives was confirmed by inhibition of G protein activation in response to nicotinic acid by these compounds. The pyrazoles both inhibited the maximum effect elicited by 100 μM nicotinic acid and concentration dependently shifted nicotinic acid concentration-response curves to the right, pointing to a competive mechanism of action.
