DIACYLGLYCEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE INHIBITORS
The invention relates to inhibitors of diacylglycerol acyltransferase. The
inhibitors are
useful for the treatment of diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes
mellitus,
dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome.
Triglycerides or triacylglycerols are the major form of energy storage in
eukaryotic
organisms. In mammals, these compounds are primarily synthesized in three
tissues: the
small intestine, liver, and adipocytes. Triglycerides or triacylglycerols
support the major
functions of dietary fat absorption, packaging of newly synthesized fatty
acids and
storage in fat tissue (see Subauste and Burant, Current Drug Targets ¨ Immune,

Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders (2003) 3, 263-270).
Diacylglycerol 0-acyltransferase, also known as diglyceride acyltransferase or
DGAT, is
a key enzyme in triglyceride synthesis. DGAT catalyzes the final and rate-
limiting step in
triacylglycerol synthesis from 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and long chain fatty
acyl CoA
as substrates. Thus, DGAT plays an essential role in the metabolism of
cellular
diacylglycerol and is critically important for triglyceride production and
energy storage
homeostasis (see Mayorek et al, European Journal of Biochemistry (1989) 182,
395-400).
DGAT has a specificity for sn-1,2 diacylglycerols and will accept a wide
variety of fatty
acyl chain lengths (see Farese et al, Current Opinions in Lipidology (2000)
11, 229-234).
DGAT activity levels increase in fat cells as they differentiate in vitro and
recent
evidence suggests that DGAT may be regulated in adipose tissue post-
transcriptionally
(see Coleman et al, Journal of Molecular Biology (1978) 253, 7256-7261 and Yu
et al,
Journal of Molecular Biology (2002) 277, 50876-50884). DGAT activity is
primarily
expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (see Colman, Methods in Enzymology
(1992)
209, 98-104). In hepatocytes, DGAT activity has been shown to be expressed on
both the

CA 02686951 2009-11-09
WO 2008/141976 PCT/EP2008/055843
- 2 -
cytosolic and luminal surfaces of the endoplasmic reticular membrane (see Owen
et al,
Biochemical Journal (1997) 323 (pt 1), 17-21 and Waterman et al, Journal of
Lipid
Research (2002) 43, 1555-156). In the liver, the regulation of triglyceride
synthesis and
partitioning, between retention as cytosolic droplets and secretion, is of
primary
importance in determining the rate of VLDL production (see Shelness and
Sellers,
Current Opinions in Lipidology (2001) 12, 151-157 and Owen et al, Biochemical
Journal
(1997) 323 (pt 1), 17-21).
Two forms of DGAT have been cloned and are designated DGAT1 and DGAT2 (see
Cases et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, USA (1998) 95,
13018-
13023, Lardizabal et al, Journal of Biological Chemistry (2001) 276, 38862-
38869 and
Cases et al, Journal of Biological Chemistry (2001) 276, 38870-38876).
Although both
enzymes utilize the same substrates, there is no homology between DGAT1 and
DGAT2.
Both enzymes are widely expressed however some differences do exist in the
relative
abundance of expression in various tissues.
The gene encoding mouse DGAT1 has been used to create DGAT knock-out. These
mice, although unable to express a functional DGAT enzyme (Dgat-/- mice), are
viable
and continue to synthesize triglycerides (see Smith et al, Nature Genetics
(2000) 25, 87-
90). This would suggest that multiple catalytic mechanisms contribute to
triglyceride
synthesis, such as DGAT2. An alternative pathway has also been shown to form
triglycerides from two diacylglycerols by the action of diacylglycerol
transacylase (see
Lehner and Kuksis, Progress in Lipid Research (1996) 35, 169-210).
Dgat-/- mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and remain lean. When fed a
high fat
diet, Dgat-/- mice maintain weights comparable to mice fed a diet with regular
fat
content. Dgat-/- mice have lower tissue triglyceride levels. The resistance to
weight gain
seen in the knockout mice, which have a slightly higher food intake, is due to
an
increased energy expenditure and increased sensitivity to insulin and leptin
(see Smith et
al, Nature Genetics (2000) 25, 87-90, Chen and Farese, Trends in
Cardiovascular
Medicine (2000) 10, 188-192, Chen and Farese, Current Opinions in Clinical
Nutrition
and Metabolic Care (2002) 5, 359-363 and Chen et al, Journal of Clinical
Investigation
(2002) 109, 1049-1055). Dgat-/- mice have reduced rates of triglyceride
absorption,
improved triglyceride metabolism, and improved glucose metabolism, with lower
glucose and insulin levels following a glucose load, in comparison to wild-
type mice (see

and
Farese, Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine (2000) 10, 188-192).
Disorders or imbalances in triglyceride metabolism, both absorption as well as
de novo
synthesis, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of disease
risks. These
include obesity, insulin resistance syndrome, type II diabetes, dyslipidemia,
metabolic
syndrome (syndrome X) and coronary heart disease (see Kahn, Nature Genetics
(2000)

diacylglycerol by
inhibiting or lowering the activity of the DGAT enzyme would be of value as
therapeutic
agents for the treatment diseases associated with abnormal metabolism of
triglycerides.
Known inhibitors of DGAT include: dibenzoxazepinones (see Ramharack, et al,
EP1219716 and Burrows et al, 26th National Medicinal Chemistry Symposium
(1998)
poster C-22), substituted amino-pyrimidino-oxazines (see Fox et al,
W02004047755),
chalcones such as xanthohumol (see Tabata et al, Phytochemistry (1997) 46, 683-

and substituted sulfonamides (see Budd Haeberlein and Buckett, W020050442500).
Also known to be inhibitors of DGAT are: 2-bromo-palmitic acid (see Colman et
al,
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (1992) 1125, 203-9), 2-bromo-octanoic acid (see

antisense oligonucleotides (see Monia and Graham, US20040185559).
A need exits in the art, however, for additional DGAT inhibitors that have
efficacy for
the treatment of metabolic disorders such as, for example, obesity, type II
diabetes
mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Further, a need exists in the art for DGAT
inhibitors
having IC50 values less than about 1 [tM.

In Scheme 1, compound i (X and Y can be CH or N, Hal can be F, Cl, Br or I)
can be
treated with various cyclic amines (ii, iv, vi, viii, x, xii) in the presence
of base and

through nucleophilic aromatic substitution gave the corresponding nitro adduct
(iii, v, vii,
ix, xi, xiii). The resulting nitro compounds can be reduced to the
corresponding amines
by catalytic hydrogenation. Each arrow in Scheme 1 represents two individual
reactions.
For the formation of compound iii, the cyclic amine can be 3-amino-pyrrolidine-
1-
carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (compound ii, n=1) or 4-amino-piperidine- 1-
carboxylic
acid tert-butyl ester (compound ii, n=2) and the exocyclic nitrogen can be
alkylated or
non-alkylated (compound ii, R=H or lower alkyl group). The configuration of 3-
amino-
pyrrolidine can be (R) or (S)-stereoisomer.
When the cyclic amine is piperazine- 1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester
(compound iv),
substitution and subsequent reduction will generate compound v.
Alternatively, the cyclic amine can be pyrrolidin-3-yl-carbamic acid tert-
butyl ester
(compound vi, n=1) or piperidin-4-yl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (compound
vi, n=2)
and the carbamate nitrogen can be alkylated or non-alkylated (compound vi, R=H
or
lower alkyl group). The stereochemistry of pyrrolidin-3-yl-carbamic acid tert-
butyl ester
can be (R) or (S)-configuration.
Additionally, the cyclic amine can also be a 4-substituted piperidine
derivative as in
compound viii for the preparation of compound ix (m=0 or 1, R' can be methyl
or ethyl).
Applying the same methodology, compounds xi and xiii (n=1 or 2, R' can be
methyl or
ethyl) can be prepared by reacting compound i with the ester of amino-
cycloalkyl-
carboxylic acid (compound x) or the ester of pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid
(compound
xii, n=1).

In Scheme 2, the cross-coupling of aryl halide (compound i, Hal can be Cl, Br
or I) with
a pinacol borate (compound xiv) can be accomplished through a palladium
catalyzed
reaction according to known procedure (Tetrahedron Letters, 2000, 41, 3705).
The
pinacol borate (compound xiv) can be prepared from 4-
trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-3,6-
dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as described in the
literature
(Synthesis, 1991, 11, 993). The nitro group and the olefin in the coupling

heterocyclic
carboxylic acid (compound xvi, where Zi can be carbon or nitrogen, X1 and Y1
can be
oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, R can be halogen, lower alkyl, fluorine
substituted alkyl or
alkoxy group) with an aryl amine xvii can be carried out by using general
amide coupling
methods such as acid chloride, mixed anhydride or coupling reagents. It is
understood
that a variety of coupling reagents such as EDCI, PyBroP and many others can
be
applied.

The chemical structure of compound xvii is meant to encompass those
represented by
compounds iii, v, vii and xv with the different cyclic amines being
represented by spacer
Q. The nitrogen that links spacer Q and the tert-butyloxycarbonyl group can be
part of
the ring (e.g. compound v) or outside of the ring (e.g. compound vii). The
tert-
butyloxycarbonyl group in the coupling product can be cleaved under acidic
condition to
generate the corresponding amine xviii.
In addition, heterocyclic carboxylic acid xvi can also be coupled with amine
ix, xi and
xiii under the same amide formation conditions. The esters of the amide
coupling product
can further be hydrolyzed to generate the corresponding carboxylic acids.

The key intermediate xviii in Scheme 3 can be functionalized to form various
amides,
carbamates and ureas. As shown in Scheme 4, compound xviii can be treated with
acyl
chloride or carboxylic acid to form amide xix (R' can be cyclic or acyclic
alkyl group).
For the formation of urea xx, compound xviii can be treated with isocyanate or

alkylaminocarbonyl chloride. Finally, the reaction of xviii with
alkoxycarbonyl chloride
will generate carbamate xxi.
To prepare amides with terminal carboxylic acids, xviii can be treated with
anhydride
xxiii (E can be cyclic or acyclic alkyl group) to form carboxylic acid xxiv.
In case when
xxiii is not readily available, the direct coupling of xviii with dicarboxylic
acid xxii using
coupling reagents can also lead to xxiv.
Alternatively, the dicarboxylic acid in xxii can be transformed to a mono-
ester mono-
carboxylic acid which can be coupled with xviii, and the cleavage of the
resulting ester
will generate compound xxiv.
For compound xxii, when spacer E is cyclic, the dicarboxylic acid can be in
cis or trans-
conformation. For cases where spacer E has stereogenic centers, single
enantiomers of
compound xxiv can be prepared through chiral separation.

(A can be CH or N, R'=H, halogen or simple alkyl, R"=H or alkyl, the boronic
acid ester

Shown in Scheme 7 is a general method to prepare claimed compounds with an
ether
linkage. The hydroxyl substituted heterocycle xxx (n=1 or 2) can be reacted
with aryl
halide i in the presence of sodium hydride or 4-dimethylaminopyridine to
generate an
aryl ether xxxi. The nitro group in xxxi can be reduced and the resulting
amine can be
coupled with heterocyclic carboxylic acid xvi to generate compound xxxii. The
tert-
butyloxycarbonyl group in xxxii can be cleaved under acidic condition and the
resulting
amine can be functionalized to generate compound xxxiii, where R represents
alkyl,
alkoxy, cycloalkyl, and alkylicycloalkyl with carboxylic acid.
In the practice of the method of the present invention, an effective amount of
any one of
the compounds of this invention or a combination of any of the compounds of
this
invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered via
any of the
usual and acceptable methods known in the art, either singly or in
combination. The
compounds or compositions can thus be administered orally (e.g., buccal
cavity),
sublingually, parenterally (e.g., intramuscularly, intravenously, or
subcutaneously),
rectally (e.g., by suppositories or washings), transdermally (e.g., skin
electroporation) or
by inhalation (e.g., by aerosol), and in the form or solid, liquid or gaseous
dosages,
including tablets and suspensions. The administration can be conducted in a

Materials for the assay were: PL-FlashPlate: Phospholipid FlashPlates from
PerkinElmer,
catalog number SMP108; DAG (1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol) 10 mM suspended in water

containing 0.1% Triton X-100; "C-Pal-CoA (palmitoyl coenzyme A, [palmitoy1-1-
'4C])
from PerkinElmer, catalog number NEC-555 with a specific activity of 55
mCi/mmol;
and DGAT pellet, with a protein concentration of 9.85 mg/ml.
Aqueous buffers were prepared or purchased as follows: The coating buffer (CB)
was
purchased from PerkinElmer, catalog number SMP900A; the reaction buffer (RB)
was
50 mM Tris-HC1, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaC1, 0.01 % BSA in water; the washing buffer
(WB)
is 50 mM Tris-HC1, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaC1, 0.05 % deoxycholic acid sodium salt in
water; the dilution buffer (DB) was 50 mM Tris-HC1, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaC1, 1 mM
EDTA, 0.2 % Triton X-100 in water.
1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol (DAG, 10 mmoles) was diluted to 500 ILLM with coating
buffer
(CB). The diluted DAG solution was then added to 384-well PL-FlashPlates at 60
glper
well, and incubated at room temperature for 2 days. The coated plates were
then washed
twice with washing buffer (WB) before use. Test compounds were serial diluted
to 2000,
666.7, 222.2, 74.1, 24.7, 8.2, 2.7 and 0.9 ILLM in 100 % DMSO. Diluted
compound were
further diluted 10 fold with reaction buffer (RB). 14C -Pal-CoA was diluted to
8.3 ILLM
with RB. The DGAT pellet was diluted to 0.13 mg protein/ml with dilution
buffer (DB)
immediately before it was added to the PL-FlashPlates to start the reaction.
20 1 of the
RB-diluted compounds (or 10% DMSO in RB for Total and Blank), 15 1 of RB
diluted
14C-Pal-CoA and 15 1 of DB diluted DGAT pellet (DB without DGAT for Blanks)
were transferred to each well of the PL-FlashPlates. The reaction mixtures
were
incubated at 37 C for 1 hour. The reactions were stopped by washing 3 times
with WB.
Plates were sealed with Top-seal and read on a Topcount instrument.
Calculation of 1050: The IC50 values for each compound were generated using an
Excel
template. The Topcount rpm readings of Total and Blank were used as 0 % and
100 %
inhibition. The percent inhibition values of reactions in the presence of
compounds were
calculated, and plotted against compound concentrations. All data were fitted
into a Dose
Response One Site model (4 parameter logistic model) as the following:
(A+((B-A)/(1+((x/C)AD)))),
