into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences
using methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography andlor fractional
crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they
may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.
The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral
phases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reacting
with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as
e.g. esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the
activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric
mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their
differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the
pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents.
Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the D- and L-forms of tartaric
acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic
acid,



CA 02496211 2005-02-18
33
camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An
optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (-)-menthol and an
optically
active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)-or
(-)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be converted into the
salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically
acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for
this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid,
sulphuric acid, methane sulphonic acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid,
succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or malefic acid.
Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I thus obtained contain a carboxy
group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into the salts thereof
with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the
physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose
include for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, arginine,
cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine.
The starting compounds of general formula I I may be prepared by generally
known methods and according to processes described for example in
Examples I to XIV.
Thus, compounds of general formula II wherein R', R3 and R4~ are as
hereinbefore defined and R2 denotes a hydrogen atom, may be prepared for
example by reacting a compound of formula
O R3
C~_3 Alkyl ~
O N
~>-- R4,

CA 02496211 2005-02-18
34
with a formimido-C,_3-alkyl ester, optionally followed by alkylation at N-1
with
a suitable alkylating agent.
Compounds of general formula II wherein R', R3 and R4~ are as hereinbefore
defined and RZ denotes an alkylsulphanyl, an alkenylsulphanyl or alkynyl-
sulphanyl group may be obtained for example by reacting compounds of
general formula III with a suitable isothiocyanate and subsequently cyclising
them to form compounds of general formula

followed by alkylation of the sulphur atom.
If an acyl mustard oil is used, such as for example
ethoxycarbonylisothiocyanate, first of all compounds of general formula IV,
wherein R' denotes a hydrogen atom are obtained, which can be converted
into the desired compounds by subsequent alkylation at the sulphur atom and
at N-1.
Compounds of general formula II wherein R', R3 and R4~ are as hereinbefore
defined and R~ denotes an alkylsulphanyl group can be oxidised to form
compounds of formula II' wherein RZ' denotes an alkylsulphinyl or an
alkylsulphonyl group.
The above-mentioned compounds of general formula II' are starting materials
for preparing the following compounds of formula II.
Reaction with alcohols and phenols yields compounds wherein the group R2
is linked to the purine system via an oxygen atom,



CA 02496211 2005-02-18
Reaction with thiols and thiophenols leads to compounds wherein R2 is linked
to the purine system via a sulphur atom,
Reaction with amines leads to compounds wherein R2 is bound to the purine
system via a nitrogen atom and
Reaction with organometallic compounds such as for example Grignard
reagents, alkyl- or aryl-lithium compounds or reaction with CH-acid
compounds such as for example esters, nitrites or ketones leads to
compounds wherein R2 is linked to the purine system via a carbon atom.
Another method of obtaining compounds of general formula I I consists, for
example, in converting compounds of general formula
3
RAN NH
z ~N NHZ
R
(V),
wherein R', RZ and R3 are as hereinbefore defined, into compounds of
general formula II.
For example, compounds of general formula V are converted into compounds
of general formula II wherein the group R4~ is bound to the purine system via
a
nitrogen atom, by reacting with an orthoformate, subsequently brominating the
resulting purine at C-8 and then reacting with a corresponding amine.
For example, compounds of general formula V are converted into compounds
of general formula II wherein the group R4~ is bound to the C-8 atom of the
purine via a C-atom by reaction with a reactive derivative of a carboxylic
acid R4~-COOH, where R4' is as hereinbefore defined, and subsequent
cyclisation.

As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general formula I
according to the invention and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof
have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibiting effect on
the enzyme DPP-IV.
The biological properties of the new compounds were investigated as follows:
The ability of the substances and their corresponding salts to inhibit the DPP-

IV activity can be demonstrated in a test set-up in which an extract of human
colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 is used as the DPP IV source. The
differentiation of the cells in order to induce the DPP-IV expression was
carried out as described by Reiher et al. in an article entitled "Increased
expression of intestinal cell line Caco-2" , which appeared in Proc. Natl.
Acad.
Sci. Vol. 90, pages 5757-5761 (1993). The cell extract was obtained from
cells solubilised in a buffer (10mM Tris HCI, 0.15 M NaCI, 0.04 t.i.u.
aprotinin,
0.5% Nonidet-P40, pH 8.0) by centrifuging at 35,000 g for 30 minutes at
4°C
(to remove cell debris).
The DPP-IV assay was carried out as follows:
50 pl substrate solution (AFC; AFC is amido-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin), final
concentration 100 NM, were placed in black microtitre plates. 20 NI of assay
buffer (final concentrations 50 mM Tris HCI pH 7.8, 50 mM NaCI, 1 % DMSO)
was pipetted in. The reaction was started by adding 30 pl of solubilised Caco-
2 protein (final concentration 0.14 pg of protein per well). The test
substances
to be investigated were typically added prediluted in 20 pl, and the volume of
assay buffer was then reduced accordingly. The reaction was carried out at
ambient temperature, incubating for 60 minutes. Then the fluorescence was
measured in a Victor 1420 Multilabel Counter, the excitation wavelength being
405 nm and the emission wavelength being 535 nm. Blank readings
(corresponding to 0 % activity) were obtained in mixtures without any Caco-2
protein (volume replaced by assay buffer), control values (corresponding to
100 % activity) were obtained in mixtures with no substance added. The
potency of the test substances in question, expressed as ICSO values, was



CA 02496211 2005-02-18
37
calculated from dosagelactivity curves consisting of 11 measuring points in
each case.
The results obtained are shown in the following Table:

The compounds prepared according to the invention are well tolerated, as for
example when 30 mg/kg of the compound of Example 1 were administered to



CA 02496211 2005-02-18
38
rats by oral route no toxic side effects or changes in the animals' behaviour
could be detected.
In view of their ability to inhibit DPP-IV activity, the compounds of general
formula I according to the invention and the corresponding pharmaceutically
acceptable salts thereof are suitable for treating all those conditions or
illnesses which can be influenced by the inhibition of the DPP-IV activity. It
is
therefore to be expected that the compounds according to the invention will
be suitable for the prevention or treatment of diseases or conditions such as
type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications (such as e.g.
retinopathy, nephropathy or neuropathies), metabolic acidosis or ketosis,
reactive hypoglycaemia, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome,
dyslipidaemias of various origins, arthritis, atherosclerosis and related
diseases, obesity, allograft transplantation and calcitonin-induced
osteoporosis. In addition these substances are capable of preventing B-cell
degeneration such as e.g. apoptosis or necrosis of pancreatic B-cells. The
substances are also suitable for improving or restoring the function of
pancreatic cells and also increasing the number and size of pancreatic B-
cells. Additionally, and on the basis of the role of the Glucagon-Like
Peptides,
such as e.g. GLP-1 and GLP-2 and their link with DPP-IV inhibition, it is
likely
that the compounds according to the invention are suitable for achieving,
inter
alia, a sedative or anxiety-relieving effect and also of favourably affecting
catabolic states after operations or hormonal stress responses or of reducing
mortality or morbidity after myocardial infarct. They are also suitable for
treating all conditions which are connected with the above-mentioned effects
and which are mediated by GLP-1 or GLP-2. The compounds according to the
invention may also be used as diuretics or antihypertensives and are suitable
for preventing and treating acute renal failure. Furthermore, the compounds
according to the invention may be used to treat inflammatory diseases of the
respiratory tract. They are also suitable for the prevention and treatment of
chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases such as e.g. irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS), Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and also pancreatitis. It is also
likely that they can be used for all kinds of damage to or impairment of the
gastrointestinal tract such as colitis and enteritis, for example. It is also



CA 02496211 2005-02-18
39
expected that DPP-IV inhibitors and hence also the compounds according to
the invention may be used to treat infertility or to improve fertility in
humans or
mammals, particularly when the infertility is connected with insulin
resistance
or polycystic ovary syndrome. On the other hand these substances are
suitable for affecting sperm motility and can thus be used as male
contraceptives. The substances are also suitable for treating deficiencies of
growth hormone which are associated with reduced stature, and may also be
used to advantage in any indications in which growth hormone may be used.
The compounds according to the invention are also suitable, on the basis of
their inhibitory effect on DPP IV, for treating various autoimmune diseases
such as e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, thyroiditis and
Basedow's
disease, etc. They may also be used to treat viral diseases and also, for
example, in HIV infections, for stimulating blood production, in benign
prostatic hyperplasia, gingivitis, as well as for the treatment of neuronal
defects and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, for
example. The compounds described may also be used for the treatment of
tumours, particularly for modifying tumour invasion and also metastasisation;
examples here are their use in treating T-cell lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic
leukaemia, cell-based pancreatic carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas or breast
cancers. Other indications are stroke, ischaemia of various origins, Parkin-
son's disease and migraine. In addition, further indications include
follicular
and epidermal hyperkeratoses, increased keratinocyte proliferation, psoriasis,
encephalomyelitis, glomerulonephritis, lipodystrophies, as well as psycho-
somatic, depressive and neuropsychiatric diseases of all kinds.
The compounds according to the invention may also be used in conjunction
with other active substances. Therapeutic agents which are suitable for such
combinations include, for example, antidiabetics, such as metformin,
sulphonylureas (e.g. glibenclamid, tolbutamide, glimepiride), nateglinide,
repaglinide, thiazolidinedione (e.g. rosiglitazone, pioglitazone), PPAR-gamma
agonists (e.g. GI 262570) and antagonists, PPAR-gammalalpha modulators
(e.g. KRP 297), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g. acarbose, voglibose), other
DPPIV inhibitors, alpha2 antagonists, insulin and insulin analogues, GLP-1
and GLP-1 analogues (e.g. exendin-4) or amylin. Also, inhibitors of protein



CA 02496211 2005-02-18
tyrosine phosphatase 1, substances which influence deregulated glucose
production in the liver, such as e.g. inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphatase, or
fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glycogen phosphorylase, glucagon receptor
antagonists and inhibitors of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase, glycogen
synthase kinase or pyruvate dehydrokinase, lipid lowering agents, such as
HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors (e.g. simvastatin, atonrastatin), fibrates (e.g.
bezafibrate, fenofibrate), nicotinic acid and its derivatives, PPAR-alpha
agonists, PPAR-delta agonists, ACAT inhibitors (e.g. avasimibe) or
cholesterol resorption inhibitors such as for example ezetimibe, bile acid-
binding substances such as for example cholestyramine, inhibitors of ileac
bile acid transport, HDL-raising compounds such as for example inhibitors of
CETP or regulators of ABC1 or active substances for the treatment of obesity
such as e.g. sibutramine or tetrahydrolipostatin, dexfenfluramine, axokine,
antagonists of the cannabinoid1 receptor, MCH-1 receptor antagonists, MC4
receptor agonists, NPY5 or NPY2 antagonists or f33-agonists such as SB-
418790 or AD-9677 as well as agonists of the 5HT2c receptor.
It is also possible to combine the compounds with drugs for treating high
blood pressure such as e.g. All antagonists or ACE inhibitors, diuretics,
f3-blockers, Ca-antagonists, etc., or combinations thereof.
The dosage required to achieve such an effect is expediently, by intravenous
route, 1 to 100 mg, preferably 1 to 30 mg, and by oral route 1 to 1000 mg,
preferably 1 to 100 mg, in each case 1 to 4 a day. For this purpose, the
compounds of formula I prepared according to the invention, optionally
combined with other active substances, may be incorporated together with
one or more inert conventional carriers andlor diluents, e.g. with corn
starch,
lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, waterlethanol,
wateNglycerol, waterlsorbitol, waterlpolyethylene glycol, propylene glycol,
cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard
fat or suitable mixtures thereof into conventional galenic preparations such
as
plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions or suppositories.

Preparation:
The active substance is mixed with calcium phosphate, corn starch, polyvin-
ylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and half the specified amount of
magnesium stearate. Blanks 13 mm in diameter are produced in a tablet-
making machine and these are then rubbed through a screen with a mesh size
of 1.5 mm using a suitable machine and mixed with the rest of the magnesium
stearate. This granulate is compressed in a tablet-making machine to form
tablets of the desired shape.
Weight of core: 230 mg
die: 9 mm, convex
The tablet cores thus produced are coated with a film consisting essentially
of
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. The finished film-coated tablets are polished
with beeswax.
