Enzyme acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in triglyceride synthesis. It has recently emerged as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of Type II diabetes and obesity.
It is estimated that somewhere between 34 and 61 million people in the US are obese and, in much of the developing world, incidence is increasing by about 1% per year. Obesity increases the likelihood of death from all causes by 20%, and more specifically, death from coronary artery disease and stroke are increased by 25% and 10%, respectively. Key priorities of anti-obesity treatments are to reduce food intake and/or hyperlipidemia. Since the latter has been suggested to provoke insulin resistance, molecules developed to prevent the accumulation of triglyceride would not only reduce obesity but they would also have the additional effect of reducing insulin resistance, a primary factor contributing to the development of diabetes. The therapeutic activity of leptin agonists has come under scrutiny through their potential to reduce food intake and, also, to reverse insulin resistance; however, their potential may be compromised by leptin-resistance, a characteristic of obesity. Acyl coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT-1) is one of two known DGAT enzymes that catalyze the final step in mammalian triglyceride synthesis and an enzyme that is tightly implicated in both the development of obesity and insulin resistance. DGAT-1 deficient mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity through a mechanism involving increased energy expenditure. US researchers have now shown that these mice have decreased levels of tissue triglycerides, as well as increased sensitivity to insulin and to leptin. Importantly, DGAT-1 deficiency protects against insulin resistance and obesity in agouti yellow mice, a model of severe leptin resistance. Thus, DGAT-1 may represent a useful target for the treatment of insulin and leptin resistance and hence human obesity and diabetes. Chen, H. C., et al., J Clin Invest, 109(8), 1049-55 (2002).
Although studies show that DGAT-1 inhibition is useful for treating obesity and diabetes, there remains a need for DGAT-1 inhibitors that have efficacy for the treatment of metabolic disorders (e.g., obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance syndrome (also referred to as “metabolic syndrome”)).

1-[4-(4-amino-2-methoxy-5-oxo-7,8-dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-6(5H)-yl)phenyl]cyclobutanecarbonitrilePotassium nitrate (7.88 g, 77.0 mmol) was suspended in sulfuric acid (45 mL) at 0° C. and stirred for 30 minutes until a clear and colorless solution was obtained (NOTE—a blast shield is highly recommended). An addition funnel was charged with 1-phenylcyclobutanecarbonitrile (11.40 g, 72.5 mmol), and this neat starting material was added drop wise at such a rate that the internal reaction temperature did not exceed 10° C. Upon completion of the addition (which required 90 min), the mixture was poured onto 300 g of ice and stirred vigorously for 30 minutes. The resulting suspension was filtered, and the solid was washed with water and dried under vacuum to afford give 1-(4-nitrophenyl)cyclobutanecarbonitrile (13.53 g, 92%) as a light tan powder.

A steel hydrogenation vessel was loaded with 1-(4-nitrophenyl)cyclobutanecarbonitrile (103.6 g, 0.51 mol), 10% palladium on activated carbon (10.3 g; contains ˜50% of water), and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (1.3 L). The mixture was stirred under 30 psi of hydrogen gas at 45° C. for 4 h. The mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and filtrate concentrated. Heptane (1 L) was added to the obtained oil and the heterogeneous mixture was stirred while slowly cooled to room temperature, causing the product aniline to solidify. The solid was filtered off and dried in vacuum to give 1-(4-aminophenyl)cyclobutanecarbonitrile (86.6 g, 98%).

Ethyl N-[4-(1-cyanocyclobutyl)phenyl]-beta-alaninate was combined with cyanoacetic acid (22.9 g, 270 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2.30 g, 18.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (400 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Diisopropylcarbodiimide (41.7 mL, 270 mmol) was then added drop wise over 30 minutes. Once addition was complete, the reaction was slowly warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 16 hours. Reaction was then poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (600 mL) and stirred for 30 mintues. Ethyl acetate (1 L) was added and the mixture was filtered to remove the insoluble diisopropylurea. The phases of the filtrate were separated, and the organic phase was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give ethyl N-(cyanoacetyl)-N-[4-(1-cyanocyclobutyl)phenyl]-beta-alaninate as yellow oil that was used with out further purification in the following step.
ethyl N-(cyanoacetyl)-N-[4-(1-cyanocyclobutyl)phenyl]-beta-alaninate and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (350 mmol) were combined in methanol (400 mL) and heated to 70° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was concentrated to dryness then partitioned between water (400 mL) and 2:1 ethyl acetate:heptane (400 mL). The aqueous phase was separated and acidified to pH 2 by the addition of 1M hydrochloric acid (400 mL).

1-(4-(1-Cyanocyclobutyl)phenyl)-4-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (12.04 g, 37.9 mmol) and cyanamide (1.64 g, 41.0 mmol) were suspended in methanol (200 mL) at room temperature. A solution of 25% sodium methoxide in methanol (45.0 mmol) was then added drop wise over 10 minutes to obtain a clear homogeneous solution of the intermediate cyanamide adduct. In one portion, sulfuric acid (5.06 mL, 94.9 mmol) was added, and the mixture was heated to 50° C. for 16 hours. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and basified to pH 10-11 by the addition of 1N sodium hydroxide, and the thick suspension was stirred for 20 minutes. The solid was filtered, washed with cold methanol and water, and dried under vacuum to obtain the crude product as a mixture contaminated with the vinylogous amide (4-amino-1-[4-(1-cyanocyclobutyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile). This solid mixture was heated to reflux in methanol (150 mL) for 3 hours then cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solid collected was then dissolved in a minimal amount of acetic acid (30 mL) at 60° C. to obtain a clear yellow solution. Water was then added drop wise at 60° C. until the cloudiness persisted, and the mixture was allowed to return to room temperature. Another 50 mL of water was added and the fine suspension was filtered, washed with water, and dried under vacuum to afford the title compound (4A) (6.80 g, 51%) as a light yellow solid.

Obesity and overweight are generally defined by body mass index (BMI), which is correlated with total body fat and estimates the relative risk of disease. BMI is calculated by weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). Overweight is typically defined as a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2, and obesity is typically defined as a BMI of 30 kg/m2. See, e.g., National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults, The Evidence Report, Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH publication no. 98-4083 (1998).
Another aspect of the invention is for the treatment or delaying the progression or onset of diabetes or diabetes-related disorders including Type 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, also referred to as “IDDM”) and Type 2 (noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, also referred to as “NIDDM”) diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and diabetic complications (such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, nephropathy, hypertension, neuropathy, and retinopathy).
Yet another aspect of the invention is the treatment of diabetes- or obesity-related co-morbidities, such as metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome includes diseases, conditions or disorders such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, diabetes (e.g., Type 2 diabetes), weight gain, coronary artery disease and heart failure.
