Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) is an exciting new approach for the treatment of diabetes. To date there has been no DPP-4 chemotype possessing a carboxy group that has progressed into clinical trials. Originating from the discovery of the structurally novel quinoline derivative 1, we designed novel pyridine derivatives containing a carboxy group. In our design, the carboxy group interacted with the targeted amino acid residues around the catalytic region and thereby increased the inhibitory activity. After further optimization, we identified a hydrate of [5-(aminomethyl)-6-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-2-ethyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)pyridin-3-yl]acetic acid (30c) as a potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitor. The desired interactions with the critical active-site residues, such as a salt-bridge interaction with Arg125, were confirmed by X-ray cocrystal structure analysis. In addition, compound 30c showed a desired preclinical safety profile, and it was encoded as TAK-100.
