Type 2 diabetes is a chronic, progressive metabolic disease, affecting about 4% of the world population. The main goal of the management of type 2 diabetes is to achieve glycemic control as close to the nondiabetic range as practicable, in order to reduce the risk of late-stage complications.However, the therapeutic effect provided by existing medications is often not sustainable, since the multi-organ defects responsible for the disease are only insufficiently addressed.
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors have emerged as a new therapeutic option to treat type 2 diabetes.
Their rapid rise in popularity is due to the favourable safety profile (no hypoglycemia, no weight gain, no gastrointestinal problems—typical side effects associated with established anti-diabetic agents). DPP-IV is a ubiquitous serine protease, the inhibition of which prevents the degradation of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). The resulting higher levels of GLP-1 have a beneficial impact on major players involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes: β-cells, liver, α-cells, gut, and brain.
Long-term studies with DPP-IV inhibitors in patients are underway in order to confirm the safety and sustainability of these effects, and, in particular, their ability to prevent the progressive loss of β-cell function.

Carmegliptin (2.70) is an anti-diabetes drug which is currently in late stage clinical trials. It represents a further structural advancement from the other existing marketed drugs in this class, sitagliptin (2.71, Januvia) and vildagliptin (2.72, Zomelis, Figure 7). These compounds are all members of the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 class (DPP-4), a transmembrane protein that is responsible for the degradation of incretins; hormones which up-regulate the concentration of insulin excreted in a cell. As DPP-4 specifically cleaves at proline residues, it is unsurprising that the members of this drug class exhibit an embedded pyrrolidine ring (or mimic) and additional decoration (a nitrile or fluorinated alkyl substituent is present in order to reach into a local lipophilic pocket). One specific structural liability of the 2-cyano-N-acylpyrrolidinyl motif (2.73) is its inherent susceptibility towards diketopiperazine formation (2.74, Scheme 29) [80], however, one way to inhibit this transformation is to position a bulky substituent on the secondary amine nucleophile as is the case in vildagliptine (2.72).

A single crystal X-ray structure of carmegliptin bound in the human DPP-4 active site has been published indicating how the fluoromethylpyrrolidone moiety extends into an adjacent lipophilic pocket [81]. Additional binding is provided by π–π interaction between the aromatic substructure and an adjacent phenylalanine residue as well as through several H-bonds facilitated by the adjacent polar substituents (Figure 8).

The reported synthesis of carmegliptin enlists a Bischler-Napieralski reaction utilising the primary amine 2.76 and methyl formate to yield the initial dihydroquinoline 2.77 as its HCl salt (Scheme 30) [82]. This compound was next treated with 3-oxoglutaric acid mono ethyl ester (2.78) in the presence of sodium acetate. Decarboxylation then yields the resulting aminoester 2.79 which was progressed through an intramolecular Mannich-type transformation using aqueous formaldehyde to allow isolation of enaminoester 2.80 after treatment of the intermediate with ammonium acetate in methanol.
The next step involves a very efficient crystallisation-induced dynamic resolution of the racemic material using the non-natural (S,S)-dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid ((+)-DBTA). It is described that the desired (S)-enantiomer of compound 2.81 can be isolated in greater than 99% ee and 93% overall yield. This approach is certainly superior to the original separation of the two enantiomers (at the stage of the final product) by preparative chiral HPLC that was used in the discovery route (albeit it should be noted that both enantiomers were required for physiological profiling at the discovery stage).
Next, a 1,2-syndiastereoselective reduction of enaminoester 2.81 occurs with high diastereocontrol imposed by the convexed presentation of the substrate for the formal conjugate addition and subsequent protonation steps. This is followed by Boc-protection and interconversion of the ethyl ester to its amide derivative 2.82 in 80% overall yield for this telescoped process. The primary amide in 2.82 was then oxidised via a modern variant of the classical Hoffmann rearrangement using phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA).
Following extensive investigation it was found that slowly adding this reagent in a mixture of acetonitrile/water to a suspension of amide 2.82 and KOH gave clean conversion to the amine product in high yield. This new procedure was also readily scalable offering a cleaner, safer and more reliable transformation when compared to other related rearrangement reactions. During a further telescoped procedure amine 2.83 was treated with lactone 2.84 to regenerate the corresponding lactam after mesylate formation. Finally, removal of the Boc-group with aqueous hydrochloric acid furnished carmegliptin as its HCl salt.

A short and high-yielding synthesis of carmegliptin (1) suitable for large-scale production is reported. The tricyclic core was assembled efficiently by a decarboxylative Mannich addition−Mannich cyclization sequence. Subsequent crystallization-induced dynamic resolution of enamine 7 using (S,S)-dibenzoyltartaric acid was followed by diastereoselective enamine reduction to give the fully functionalized tricyclic core with its three stereogenic centers. The C-3 nitrogen was introduced by Hofmann rearrangement of amide 28, and the resulting amine 10was coupled with (S)-fluoromethyl lactone 31. Following cyclization to lactam 13 and amine deprotection, 1 was obtained in 27−31% overall yield with six isolated intermediates.

The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 6.17 mL (79 mmol) methanesulfonic acid in 42 mL THF was added during 10 min, maintaining the temperature at 0-5° C. At 0° C. a solution of 12.6 mL (90.2 mmol) triethylamine in 42 mL THF was added during 15 min. The resulting suspension was stirred for 80 min at 0-5° C., whereas it became gradually thicker. Then 141 mL (141 mmol) 1 M lithium-bis(trimethylsilyl)amide were added to the mixture during 15 min, whereas the suspension dissolved. The solution was allowed to reach RT during 60 min under stirring. 500 mL water was added without cooling, the mixture was extracted and the aqueous phase was subsequently extracted with 500 mL and 250 mL dichloromethane. The organic layers were each washed with 300 mL half saturated brine, combined and evaporated on a rotatory evaporator. The resulting foam was dissolved in 155 mL dichloromethane, filtered and again evaporated to give 30.5 g crude product as a slightly brownish foam. This material was dissolved in 122 mL methanol, resulting in a thick suspension, which dissolved on heating to reflux. After 20 min of reflux the solution was allowed to gradually cool to RT during 2 h, whereas crystallization started after 10 min. After 2 h the suspension was cooled to 0° C. for 1 h, followed by −25° C. for 1 h.
