Definitions
- the present invention is directed to lactam derivative compounds.
- the compounds act as diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase type 1 inhibitors (hereinafter also referred to as "DGATl”), and can be useful in preventing, treating or acting as a remedial agent for hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and obesity.
- DGATl diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase type 1 inhibitors
- Diabetes refers to a disease process derived from multiple causative factors and characterized by elevated levels of plasma glucose or hyperglycemia in the fasting state or after meals. Persistent or uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with increased and premature morbidity and mortality. Often abnormal glucose homeostasis is associated both directly and indirectly with alterations of the lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein metabolism and other metabolic and hemodynamic disease. Therefore patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus are at especially increased risk of macro vascular and microvascular complications, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Therefore, therapeutical control of glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism and hypertension are critically important in the clinical management and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
- Type 1 diabetes or insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
- IDDM insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus
- NIDDM noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus
- Insulin resistance is not primarily due to a diminished number of insulin receptors but to a post-insulin receptor binding defect that is not yet understood. This resistance to insulin responsiveness results in insufficient insulin activation of glucose uptake, oxidation and storage in muscle and inadequate insulin repression of lipolysis in adipose tissue and of glucose production and secretion in the liver.
- Type 2 diabetes which have not changed substantially in many years, have recognized limitations. While physical exercise and reductions in dietary intake of calories will dramatically improve the diabetic condition, compliance with this treatment is very poor because of well-entrenched sedentary lifestyles and excess food consumption, especially of foods containing high amounts of saturated fat which results in the accumulation of triacylglycerol (TG) in adipose tissue.
- TG triacylglycerol
- TG synthesis pathways In the body there are two TG synthesis pathways, a glycerol phosphate pathway, which is present in most organs and causes de novo TG synthesis, and a monoacylglycerol pathway, which is involved principally in absorption of aliphatic acid from the small intestine.
- Diacylglycerol acyltransferases DGATs, EC 2.3.1.20
- DGATs diacylglycerol acyltransferases
- the final reaction consists of transferring an acyl group from acyl-coenzyme A to the 3-position of 1,2-diacylglycerol to generate TG (Prog.
- DGAT-1 Lipid Res., 43, 134-176, 2004 and Ann. Med., 36, 252-261, 2004.
- DGAT-2 There are two subtypes of DGATs, DGAT-1 and DGAT-2. There is no significant homology at the generic or amino acid level between the DGAT-1 and DGAT-2, which are encoded by different genes (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 95, 13018-13023, 1998 and JBC, 276, 38870-38876, 2001).
- DGAT-1 is present in the small intestine, adipose tissue and liver and is believed to be involved in lipid absorption in the small intestine; lipid accumulation in the fat cell; and VLDL secretion and lipid accumulation in the liver (Ann. Med., 36, 252-261, 2004 and JBC, 280, 21506-21514, 2005).
- DGAT-1 -knockout mice deficient in DGAT-1 at the genetic level was produced and analyzed.
- DGAT1 KO mice show a lack of postprandial rise of plasma TG, suggesting an important role for DGAT1 in the regulation of fat absorption.
- DGAT1- deficient mice are resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity and have increased sensitivity to insulin and leptin.
- the KO mice are protected against hepatic steatosis and were shown to have decreased levels of tissue TG.
- the DGAT1 KO mice have improved glucose metabolism, with lower plasma glucose levels after glucose load or insulin injection.
- DGAT-1 inhibitors are likely to be therapeutic drugs with efficacy for type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, lipidosis, hypertension, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis,
- the compounds described herein are DGAT-1 inhibitors, which are useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, lipidosis, hypertension, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, cerebrovascular disorder, coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome, particularly, obesity and diabetes.

Description
LACTAM DERIVATIVES AS DGAT-1 INHIBITORS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention is directed to lactam derivative compounds. Specifically, the compounds act as diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase type 1 inhibitors (hereinafter also referred to as "DGATl"), and can be useful in preventing, treating or acting as a remedial agent for hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and obesity.
BACKGROUND
Diabetes refers to a disease process derived from multiple causative factors and characterized by elevated levels of plasma glucose or hyperglycemia in the fasting state or after meals. Persistent or uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with increased and premature morbidity and mortality. Often abnormal glucose homeostasis is associated both directly and indirectly with alterations of the lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein metabolism and other metabolic and hemodynamic disease. Therefore patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus are at especially increased risk of macro vascular and microvascular complications, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Therefore, therapeutical control of glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism and hypertension are critically important in the clinical management and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
There are two generally recognized forms of diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, or insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), patients produce little or no insulin, the hormone which regulates glucose utilization. In Type 2 diabetes, or noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), patients often have plasma insulin levels that are the same or even elevated compared to nondiabetic subjects; however, these patients have developed a resistance to the insulin stimulating effect on glucose and lipid metabolism in the main insulin-sensitive tissues, which are muscle, liver and adipose tissues, and the plasma insulin levels, while elevated, are insufficient to overcome the pronounced insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance is not primarily due to a diminished number of insulin receptors but to a post-insulin receptor binding defect that is not yet understood. This resistance to insulin responsiveness results in insufficient insulin activation of glucose uptake, oxidation and storage in muscle and inadequate insulin repression of lipolysis in adipose tissue and of glucose production and secretion in the liver.
The available treatments for Type 2 diabetes, which have not changed substantially in many years, have recognized limitations. While physical exercise and reductions in dietary intake of calories will dramatically improve the diabetic condition, compliance with this treatment is very poor because of well-entrenched sedentary lifestyles and excess food
consumption, especially of foods containing high amounts of saturated fat which results in the accumulation of triacylglycerol (TG) in adipose tissue.
In the body there are two TG synthesis pathways, a glycerol phosphate pathway, which is present in most organs and causes de novo TG synthesis, and a monoacylglycerol pathway, which is involved principally in absorption of aliphatic acid from the small intestine. Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs, EC 2.3.1.20), which are membrane-bound enzymes present in the endoplasmic reticulum, catalyze the final step of the TG synthesis common to the two TG synthesis pathways. The final reaction consists of transferring an acyl group from acyl-coenzyme A to the 3-position of 1,2-diacylglycerol to generate TG (Prog. Lipid Res., 43, 134-176, 2004 and Ann. Med., 36, 252-261, 2004). There are two subtypes of DGATs, DGAT-1 and DGAT-2. There is no significant homology at the generic or amino acid level between the DGAT-1 and DGAT-2, which are encoded by different genes (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 95, 13018-13023, 1998 and JBC, 276, 38870-38876, 2001). DGAT-1 is present in the small intestine, adipose tissue and liver and is believed to be involved in lipid absorption in the small intestine; lipid accumulation in the fat cell; and VLDL secretion and lipid accumulation in the liver (Ann. Med., 36, 252-261, 2004 and JBC, 280, 21506-21514, 2005).
In order to carry out in vivo examination of the physiological function(s) of DGAT-1 and inhibitory activity against DGAT-1, DGAT-1 -knockout (KO) mice deficient in DGAT-1 at the genetic level was produced and analyzed. DGAT1 KO mice show a lack of postprandial rise of plasma TG, suggesting an important role for DGAT1 in the regulation of fat absorption. DGAT1- deficient mice are resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity and have increased sensitivity to insulin and leptin. Moreover, the KO mice are protected against hepatic steatosis and were shown to have decreased levels of tissue TG. In addition, the DGAT1 KO mice have improved glucose metabolism, with lower plasma glucose levels after glucose load or insulin injection. Furthermore, in a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp study, the DGAT1 KO mice required higher glucose infusion rates relative to the WT controls to maintain euglycemia. (Nature Genetics, 25, 87-90, 2000 and JCI, 109, 1049-1055, 2002). Dgatl KO mice exhibit other postprandial phenotypes including prolonged release of PYY and GLP-1 as well as delayed gastric emptying (Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 390(3): 377-81, 2009). Currently, there is an incomplete understanding of the mechanism or the site of action by which DGAT1 inhibition leads to improvement in these metabolic parameters. Genetic data suggests that inhibition of the intestine DGAT1 is the prime driver for body weight loss (J Lipid Res. 51:1770-80
2010). Other reports suggest adipose is the main site of action (J. Med Chem 52, 1558-1568, 2009.
From the results, DGAT-1 inhibitors are likely to be therapeutic drugs with efficacy for type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, lipidosis, hypertension, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis,
cerebrovascular disorder, coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome.

The compounds of the present invention contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus occur as racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and individual diastereomers. The present invention is meant to comprehend all such isomeric forms of these compounds.
Some of the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds, and unless specified otherwise, are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.
The independent syntheses of these diastereomers or their chromatographic separations may be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modification of the methodology disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline Intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration.
If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diasteromeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by
chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.
Alternatively, any enantiomer of a compound may be obtained by stereoselective synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known configuration by methods well known in the art
It will be understood that, as used herein, references to the compounds of the structural formulas described herein are meant to also include the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and also salts that are not pharmaceutically acceptable when they are used as precursors to the free compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or in other synthetic manipulations.

All the Reference Examples and Examples in Table 1 and 2 below were prepared using procedures outlined in Scheme 1 except for Reference Example 1, which was synthesized following the procedure from WO2009016462.
Table 1. Reference Examples
DGAT1 CPM Assay
20uL substrate mixture of 300uM diolein, 40uM oleoyl-CoA, 10% ethanol and luL of the compound with different concentrations were delivered to a 384 well assay plate (Corning 3573) using a Tecan with TeMO module. Later 1 uL of enzyme mixture of 1.05ug/ml human DGAT1 in buffer (200mM Tris, pH7, 200mM sucrose, 200mM MgC12 + 20ug/ml NEM-treated BS A) was added via a Multidrop Combi using a microcassette. 20uL of 90uM CPM reagent in 90% ethanol was added after 1 hour incubation at room temperature. After 30 minutes at room temperature in dark, fluorescence measurement on Envision was carried out and IC50s were calculated.
The compounds exemplified herein are believed to have a lower Cmax to trough ratio as compared to the Reference Examples. High Cmax to trough ratio is not a desirable feature of a drug. A higher ratio may lead to low therapeutic index due to potential Cmax related adverse events. It is also believed that the compounds exemplified herein show moderate metabolism in vitro in hepatocyte incubations, which may impart multiple mechanism of excretion in vivo. Compounds found not to be metabolized by liver microsome or hepatocytes may indicate that they might be eliminated in vivo via excretion as intact drug, which may contribute to
undesirably long pharmacodynamic half-life in vivo.
